The New Jersey Athletic Club has re-
ceived over 500 entries for its two nights
carnival in Madison Square Garden, which
begins this evening and continues tomor-
NOR night. The entry list proves con-
clusively that amateur athletics are re-
ceiving a wellmerited boom and every
thing points to one of the most successful
indoor meetings ever held in this country.

all the prominent athletes now in train
ing have entered. The special races are

and on Saturday evening he will meet
practically the same men in the 22O yards
special.

among those who have not heretofore
been given a chance to excel in the dumb
bell line. There are no less than twelve
entries in this event from strong men,
all anxious to prove their ability to win

ever in making one at the New Jersey
A.. G. games OF Labor Day. He will be
hard pushed in this competition, however,
by Dennis O'Connell and John/Herty of
| the New West Side Athletic Club.

the Georgetown entries, Yale, University
OF Pennsylvania. Princeton, Columbia
College and New York University have
entered teams, and they will make it in
teresting for the clubs hereabouts in the
competition for the point banner.
The schoolboy race on Friday evening
promises a battle royal between Barnard

rife as to which team will win the banner
for the mile relay race open only to en-
ployes of insurance companies. The New
York Life, Metropolitan and Lancashire
lave entered teams.
