A. members, included several represen-
tatives of the Philadelphia Athletic
Club. Both organizations took part in
the parallel and low bar exercises,
which were the opening number. Demp-
ster, of the Philadelphia A. c., followed
with an exhibition of chair diving, in
which he successfully dove over first
one, then two, and finally three high
backed chairs placed in line.
In the potato race first and second
prizes were awarded respectively to Ro-
den and Briggs of the Philadelphia "A.
c. The former, however, was not Just
ly entitled to first place, as he, although
unnOticed by the judges, fouled once by
gathering up three potatoes in one
journey, while the rules OF the race
permit the contestants to pick up but
one at time.
The hand walking and balancing by
Rudolph was generally applauded, and
| Price also received an ovation after
winning the pole vaulting contest

a lack OF the proper facilities the sack
