or from a club, standpoint, while its
history is that of athletics in
this country, and some of its do
ings are worlds history Thirty years
last September the New York Athletic
Club was duly organized in the city of
its name, the prenatal period of its in
cubatiOn being performed in the bach
elor apartments of w. B. Curtis and
John c. Babcock, whom then resided
up town." at the corner of Sixth ave-
nue. and Fourteenth street, now busy
part OF the city. At these quarters the
strong men of the city held weekly
gatherings to test their ability on the
machines Curtis had for lifting, and it
was at these meetings that the idea OF
copying the lately formed athletic club
of London was preached. A call was
issued for a meeting to be held at the
Knickerbocker- cottage, a favorite re-
sort for English suppers, at Sixth ave-
nue. near Twenty-eighth street. This
cottage was one of the old roadhouses
In the much younger days of the city
and is still standing, though disfigured
by change of name to that Of its
French proprietor.
The meeting OF athletes was held on
August q, 1868, temporary officers be-
ing elected and committees appointed,
and on September following the reg
ular organization took place, the first
officers being: J. Edward Russell, pres
ident; Henry A. Heirs, secretary;
Henry e. Buermeyer, treasurer. 1t
was decided to hold an athletic meet
ing in November, and the building then
standing at Third avenue and Sixty
third street. where the American insti-
tute building was erected later, was
the scene of the first athletic meeting
held in America. Athletes were few
IN those days, and the idea of man
wasting time practicing for running
was a subject for ridicule, so that attn
letes merely existed for several years,
and the first real start was made when
the club, having put up a good boat
house on the Harlem between the
bridges, leased the piece of property

behind it on which to lay out a track.
1t was very crude affair compared
with present day tracks and appoint
ments, bue it was handy to the boat
house, and half in fun and half in earn
est the members took hold of the track
sports.
On the Harlem grounds were held
the first of the many series of games
which constituted the championship
events for the United States and Can
ada. and these first games were held on
October II, 1876. The club grew rapid
ly after that, and as the track was
small and Objectionable ON account of
the grade in the 100 yards move was
made to the flats on the northern side
of the river and the grounds named
after the nearest railroad station, Mott
Haven. Here quarter Of mile eln-
der track was laid out, and athletics
became decidedly popular owing to the
increasing membership of the club.
1t is now twenty-three years since
the Mott Haven grounds were opened,
and to the present day athlete it may
be interesting to note that they We're

cure the decision. On the other hand
it would be difficult to find more con-
fident lot of men that Gardner and his
friends Gardner finished his active
training on Friday, and will content
himself with light exercise until the
night of the contest. He is a tireless
worker, and no pugilist ever entered a
ring in better condition. 1t will be a
remarkable boxer, indeed, who will
secure a decision over Gardner in his
present form. He is still making his
headquarters at Arthur's place. If the
Pittsburg sports bring any money with
them to wager on McClelland they will
have no difficulty in finding takers, as
the confidence Of Gardeners men is
only limited by the size of their pile. y
The NJ. A. G. officials have arranged
a number of very good preliminary
bouts to precede the main event. Joe
Bruner will go on in one preliminary,
and his friends will have an opportun

contest with Ducase.

yesterday that the Pittsburg friends OF
McClelland have chartered a special

more will no doubt be included in the
Pittsburg party, as McClelland is a
prime favorite in that city, which is

made his reputation. McClelland is
said to be sore over the impression
here that he was anxious to avoid a

Peter Jackson, when he was under

gaping admirers. Among the eolored
people jackson was an idol and re-

vies, who appreciates humor used to
accompany Jackson everywhere, and
one night he went with the big fighter

AMONG THE HORSES.

The alterations in the rules of trot-
ting made at the recent congress held
in New York Cancelled the making OF
records at fractional distances. Tech
nicahy such performances were bars
and not records, but the necessity for
the rule in its original form having
ceased to exist it was really hind
rance at any expansion of the sport in
the direction of a change from the per-
petual mile races. Mr.. f. w. Ware, of
New York, one of the best known
horsemen of the east, has under con-
sideration the holding Of a trottlng
meeting which will be a copy of run
ming meeting as far as that can be ac-
cOmplished. Mr.. Ware is correct in
the claim that much of the lack of pop
ularity of trotting arises from the sys-
tenn of prolonged heat races and the
uncertainty as to when a race will be
finished The new departure in the
rules has given the opportunity for MAX
ing changes and diversifying the pro-
gramme, and it is Mr.. Wares idea to
secure the use of a suitable track near
New York and give programme made
OF novelty races.

The games Of the past six days in
the Wheeling league closed the twenty
fifth week of that tournament, leaving
only two weeks more to be finished.
The games Of last week wept about as
was expected. The Silver Globes con-
tinued their losing streak by drop
ping three games to the Pirates on
very low scores, while the Pirates won
on fairly good strings. The Auroras
put UP three good arguments with the
Ideals, as each game totaled over 9OO
pins, and deserved success. The
Ideals were hard to convince that they
had really lost that first game with
their 901, but on finding it to be true
were content, knowing they had given
the Auroras a good scare. Captain
Emig's absence was noticeable. The
Bowlers had the Tidal Waves at their
mercy after the first few frames, and
won three games with ease. 1t has
been whispered about that Rahr's boys
were scared that night. At any rate,
Hazlett had an awful stare on after
the third frame of the first game. The
Cosmos" practiced with the Old Cron-
les on fancy shots and left-handed
work, and yet had three games to their
credit after the finish. The most dis
appointed club of the week was the
Aber Nits, who expected to win at least
two from J. Notes team of Defenders,
but rolled such miserable strings that
they gave up all hope long before the
contests were completed. Captain
Notes Defenders have done justice to
their title of late, which is noticeable
by the way they we defended seventh
place.

The race is growing more interesting
each week among the leaders. The
Auroras are safe enough. and Captain
Tom Brett walks about the Eighth
ward in string-halted fashion, but
the Cosmos and The Bowlers are
keeping their weather eyes on each
other, waiting desperately for an OPP
portunity by which point is to be
gained, and yet each team keeps win
ming If The Bowlers should lose one
and the Cosmos win, it would result
in a tie, which would cause as much
interest almost as the Wheeling and
Cincinnati games.
