NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Fine weather
favored the New Jersey Athletic clubs
carnival of athletic sports on the
grounds at Bayonne, N. j., today. The
final Of the 1O0-yard dash was somewhat
of surprise to the western men, as they
looked upon Maybury Of Chicago as a
sure winner. Sulzer. the local sprinter,
won from the four and half yard mark,
with Donohue, a ten yard man, second,
and Maybury third, in ten seconds flat.
Wefers had saved himself for the 300
yard scratch race. Maybury and Rush
Of the Chicago team, and Jerome Buck
of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, were
Wefers' opponents in this special race.
Maybury jumped out in the lead at the
crack of the pistol, and Wefers tackled
him on the far turn. Coming along the
stretch. opposite the stand, Wefers and
Maybury ran close together, but as they
turned the curve for the home run Wef-
ers gained by two yards, although run
ing on the outside. At this point it was
very evident that Maybury was beaten.
and Rush came up and tried to tackle
the Georgetown flyer. The latter sprint
ed wonderfully, while Rush worked
manfully to reach him, but the big east
ern sprinter won by ten feet, Rush fin
ishing ahead of Maybury for third hon.
ors. Wefers' time, 81 seconds, is just
two-fifths of second behind the world 3
record for that distance.
James Mitchell Of the Pastime Athletic
club, made a new worlds record at
throwing the fifty-six pound weight for
height. Mitchell held the record Of Is
feet AZ inches, but today sent it to a
height of Is feet SIS inches. Mitchell
threw the sixteen pound hammer 144
feet inches, but when his hammer was
weighed it was found to be nine ounces
under weight. Edgren Of California
threw his hammer LAG feet inches, but
outstepped the boundary. and the throw
was declared foul. Edgren's hammer
was weighed and 1t proved to be four
ounces over weight and half an inch
short.
Mitchell then got six throws and he
used Chadwick's hammer, but the best
he could do was 1872 feet 101s inches, fin
fishing third to Edgren and Chadwick

THE RUSSIAN VIEW.
Hope That Greece Will Submit to Powers Will

st. Petersburg. March 5.--The Jour

10 the effect that the Russian imperial
cabinet is animated by the ardent de-
sire to the further work of pacification
and in that spirit took the initiative in
proposing the plan formulated in the
identical notes of the Powers to
Turkey and Greece.
The paper. in conclusion says: There
is reason to hope that further difficult
ties Will not arise and that Greece will
prove the wisdom by bending to the
mighty will of united Europe. In the
common interests Of peace and legality
Greece cannot desire to endanger her
future by acts of folly. the Greeks may be
happy in the knowledge that their kins-
men in Crete will in future enjoy local
autonomy. Russia, which has ever the
interests of the Christian people of the
East at heart, will regard the suggest
ed solution with satisfaction all the
greater. seeing it is in harmony with
her desire for universal peace and is
in spirit ofequity. by which the impe-
rial government is constantly inspired
