Point After q Very Spirited Contest.
The picturesque grounds of the New Jersey
A. @. at Bergen Point fairly g~listened in the
sunshine yesterday afternoon, ana 1t was diff
cult to realize that the wcll-kept inteld and
track had been practically submerged during
the recent embarrassing tantrums Of Jupiter
Pluvius. An ordinary outing under the glori-
ous atmospheric conditions which prevailed
would have satisfied the most exactinR, but the

the gentler sex, who showed their appreciation
of the treat by swarming into the inClosure in
their dainticst summer costumes until every de-
sirable vantage point was occupied.
The scene in the arena was worthy OF the
brilliant surroundings. The piece de resistance
was furnished by the first dual meet between
the picked athletes of the New Jersey A. C.. and
the Knickerbocker A. c. Their rivalry extended
ovsr sixteen events on track and field, and this
programme was diversified by miscellaneous
games and exhibitions on the. sward and

were filled in tremendously by a tuneful and In

been cut down to ono point.
With only three events to go the excitement
grew intense and Jem Sullivan played his
trump card. This was in the bicycle race, and
