The New Jersey Athletic Club enter
tanned the ladies' yesterday in an admir-
able manner on the club grounds at Ber-
gen Point with h proved to be one of
the most successful athletic c~arnivals OF
the year. 1t was an event marked by a
collection of features seldom surpassed
even at a championship meeting. The
greatest interest probably was centered
in the dual games between the New Jer-
sey Athletic Clubs string of athletes and
the clever representatives of the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club of New York. They
had as animated a struggle as was ever
held on the track in this vicinity and all
though the New Jerseys won the cham
pionship for a time there was considerable
doubt regarding the final result, which
added to the excitement. The Knicker-
bockers developed more points than was
expected and with it a number of sur
prises, principally in the sprints and the
one mile run, in which the New Jerseys
were slated for the place of honor. The
performances were excellent and the time
in several events very fast. The work of
H. E. Marvel, the schoolboy wonder, of
the New Jerseys, was the best of the
day. He ran against a large field in the
half mile and won handily by a dozen
| yards in the fast time of / minute So 3-5
seconds on a soft track. Again in the
| quarter mile he romped away from a
large field of Knickerbockers and won in
81 rs seconds. For the Knickerbockers
| j. w. Enrich was the star and a surprise.
He ran ~splendidly and won the 100 and
220 yard dashes in clever style, beating
Charles Sulzer of the New Jerseys in
both events by the closest kim of a
finish. John Cosgrove was another promi-
nent performer. as he succeeded in win
ming first place in the running high jump,
beating out C. U. Powell, the Cornell
champion, with a leap of 5 feet s inches,
and also captured second place in the 12O
| yards hurdle race and finished second in
the 220 event. The Knickerbockers gained
| rapidly on the New Jerseys in the field
| events, winning the three places in the
pole vault and first in the hammer and
weignt throws. When Jerry buek. q
