 Man, Does Good Work.
 New York, Sept. 6.-Fine weather fa- vored the New Jersey Athletic club to- day. The annual Labor day carnival of athletic sports was held on the clubs grounds at Bayonne, N. J., this after noon, and the attendance, considering the unusual number of counter attrac- tions which brought the holiday crowds to other sections in this vicinity, was more than satisfactory to the Jersey clubs managers.
 A good deal of interest was taken in the second meeting this year between Wefers and Maybury and Rush, the fast runners from Chicago and Wiscon- sin. A week ago last Saturday Wefers on Manhattan field proved his superb. ority to the western men, and to-day he was asked to give half yard to each of them. Wefers won his heat very cleverly from Cregan in 10 1-5 sec- onds, and Maybury, with an eighteen | inch allowance from the scratch, won his heat in the same time. Rush was not so fortunate, however, as starting | from the same mark as his clubmate. Maybury, he failed to qualify in his tri- al, finishing third.
 | In the final Wefers did not start, as l he said he preferred all his speed for the 300-yard race, which was to take l'place later on. The result of the final | of the 100-yard race was somewhat of a surprise to the western men. as they looked upon Maybury as a sure winner. Their fondest hopes were not realized. as Sulzer, the local sprinter, won from the four and one-half-yard mark, with Donohue, a ten-yard man, second and Maybury third, in 10 seconds flat. Maybury and Rush were Wefers' op- ponents in the 3O0-yard 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 May bury ran close together, but as they | turned the curve for the run home Wefers gained two yards, although run ming on the outside. At this point it was very evident that Maybury was beaten, and Rush came up and tried to tackle the Georgetown wonder. The latter sprinted wonderfully, while Rush worked manfully to catch him, but the big eastern sprinter won out by ten feet. Wefers' time, 31 seconds, is just two-ffths of a second behind the | worlds record for that distance. | J. l.. Hurlbut of New York won the pole vault, and Fitzpatrick finished first in the medley race, which consist ed of four turns of 11O yards each.
