VIII lam B.. Curtis, known as the

past season, has Al his to say:
"Ameriean amateur at hletic sport in
1897 was uarked by few sensational fea-
lures and no i'm eruatio contests, but
has been a period OF steady progress and

amateur athletic sports ia this country,
has had an unusually successful year.

liances popular recognition OF IFS au-
thority has extended and strengthened,
anu almost all Important amateur ath-
letic contests in the United States are
now given under its rules and with its
sanction. The union now consists of
eight active members and six allied mem
bers, ana the number OF individuals in
cluded in this membership is as follows:

ton, 5000; Atlantic Association, 900:
New England Association, 5000; Met
