SOME EVENTS.
The annual field day of the Y. M. c
A. was held at the Wilmington Cycle
Company's Park, at Riverview. "a tur-
day. and the large attendance denN M
strated that a strong interest is ST II
taken in athletics. All the events wer
we'll contested and passed Off quietly,
and without a hitch, with the exception\
OF the three-mile bicycle race Boyle
who finished second, claimed that the
winner, T. J. Gillon, was paced by Wit (
liam Cooley and protested the race
No decision will be given in this race
until word is received from the l.. A.
w. racing board, to whom it was re
ferred for adjustment.
Nicholas Green, the Wilmington boy
trick rider. amused the crowd by hls
artistic manipulation Of the SILENT
steed. This youngster rides a wheel
in all sorts OF difficult positions, and
made a decided hit with the spectators.
/. c. johnson rode an exhibition
quarter-mile, and crossed the tape IN
81 1-5 seconds.
Ono OF the prettiest exhibitions 'h
the DAY was the 75-yard dash against
the record time of 3-5, by Walker
Matteson captain OF the track team OF
Swarthmore College. This young man
who. by the way, is one OF the prettiest
sprinters ever seen on a local track
was off with the signal and went over
the line in the fast time Of z As sec
onds. which is is of a second slower
than the record time of 3-5 seconds
made by Bernard Wefers and L. IL
Cary.
Matteson also took Milligans place
in the relay race and won his lap with
II yards to spare. II he had been put
in on the last lap it is probable that the
Wilmington boys would have carried
off the prize
In the fve-mile bicycle race E. Z.
Gcodlcy had fall which left him
breathless for awhile and compelled
him to retire from the race.
