a large crowd of spectators at the box
ing and wrestling championships of the
Amateur Athletic Union, which will be
held at Madison Square Garden on June
10 and II. 1896.
The general price of admission to the
two upper galleries has been liked at
fifty cents, and, on the first tier, one
dollar. Boxes holding six cost nine dol
lars.
Manager Sanger reports that there is
quite a rush to secure these boxes, and
parties desiring same should lose no
time in communicating with Manager

VIII Race Again.
Captain Irving of the u. S. S. Ports
mouth has decided that the Newark crew
u,oc tba c,,parin in tho n.o 90 rauuad
| Saturday last over the Pasaic River
course by the Naval Reserves. The race
was won by the Hoboken crew, made up
of members of Stevens Institute. The
latter got the banner. The captain
matched the race with a view to finding
out which was the better crew. I'm
fortunately the Jersey City crew did not
get a fair start. and therefore his de-
cision does not apply to it. The latter
have, therefore, issued a challenge to the
Newark crew for a race over a three
mile course, and Newark has accepted.
If the NewarSs beat the Jersey City Re-
| serves they will be supplied with a racing
cutter and will be entered in races
against the crews of other ships. They
are credited with the best mill ever made
by a Naval Reserve crew. A race that
will excite intense interest will be rowed
on the Hudson between commissioned
officers of the New Hampshire and those
of the Portsmouth. The date has not
been fixed.
On the Diamond.
This afternoon the Pacific A. c.. and
ST. Bridget's Lyceum teams are playing
on the Johnston avenue ground.
Tomorrow the Pacific A. C. will play
on the ground at C-ommunipaw.
st. Mary's Catholic Club and the Puri-
tan A. A. are trying their kill this after
noon at Greenville.
The game tomorrow on the Cricket
Ground, Hoboken, between the Hobokens
and Recreations of Long Island will be
another exceedingly interesting contest.
There is a large wager at stake and
as both teams are wonderfully clever at
the game, which was shown in the match
last week, when the home team won by
4 runs to 3 in ten innings.
A great game is anticipated tomorrow
afternoon on the International Park
ground at Communipaw, between the Ar
lingtons and st. Louis College teams.
The West Ends will play tomorrow on
the Duncan avenue ground.
