win be their second venture of the kind,
ard If they meet with the same success
as last year the organization will do well.
They have not been as fortunate in the
number of entries this year as last, and
the absence of stars will be somewhat of
a disappointment. but taking the full pro-
gramme into consideration. the event will
be full of interest to the lovers of ath-
letics. and should draw another big
crowd. The dancing will be quite a fea-
ture, with h large array of Off
Gals and committees excellent manage
ment should prevail and the sport will be
continuous. The feature of the day will
be the exhibition in throwing the 16-pound
hammer BY John Flanagan, the worlds
champion and record holder. The games
will begin at half-past two, and there
will be dancing afternoon and evening,
relieved occasionally with selections by
the Jersey City Letter Carriers band. A

Th annua Memorial Day carnival of
the New Jersey Athletic Club, on Monday
at the grounds at Bayonne, will be the
greatest this organization has ever held.
The events are numerous and the features
more plentiful than ever. Prominent
among these will be the college relay
race in which the best athletes of the
four great universities will decide issues
on the cinder path. 1t will be the race
of the year at the Point n the greatest
crowd of years will be present to wit
ness it. Princeton, Harvard, Yale and
University of Pennsylvania lave entered
four of their fastest men and it will be
a struggle worth seeing. The battle
between 0 Flanagan, the Irish cham
pion and James Mitchell at throwing the
hammer will be another attractive COM
petition and records are sure to tumble
before it is decided. The relay team
race between the local societies for the
championship of Hudson County will be
exciting and with the games of base
ball and football there will be lots to
interest the admirers or contests on track
and field. The cyclists will find recrea-
ton in the one and two mile handicaps
for which there is a good entry. A num-
per OF local riders are In, and the full
