Held a Successful Meet
Yesterday.

George Orton a Champion Of
England Howard Brewer
Makes a New Record.

A large crowd turned out yesterday to
see the athletes compete for the all
around championship of the Amateur
Athletic Union at the New Jersey Athletic
Club grounds. and while records were not
made the events were exciting enough TO
suit the most exacting White, of the n.
J. A. c., won the all-around honors in ex-
cellent fashion, though he was not
thought of in the race. His success was
especially glorious in view of the fact that
the best men of the field and track We're
rival was r. j. Sheridan, of the 7. A. z.
Sheridan was in the lead to the pole vault
event and there he fell, and White took
the lead, keeping the front thereafter. In
the open handicap events the most inter-
esting was the quarter mile event IN
which tMaxy' Long started from scratch
with Herbert Marvel on the lve-yard
mark Marvel did his little best, but was
run to a standstin and Long trotted
across the tape an easy winner in 40 4-5
seconds. Summarizes
