Brunswick. March 19.-(SpeciaD.--
The annual athletic exhibition and IN
door meet Of the BowdQin Athletic
Association takes place. Friday eve
ming, in the Town hall. A great deal
of enthusiasm is manifested by the
students, and much interest has de-
veioped as to the class which will carry
off the honors. Since the Christmas
vacation ali the athletes In college
have been busily engaged In prepara-
ton for this event by daily training
in the gymnasium. and IL constant and
hard work will ensure an interesting
exhibition, certainly this years meet
will be success.
In order to relieve the spectators Of
the WEAKNESS of watching the great
number of trial heats which 1T is
necessity to run before picking the
best half dozen men for the finals in
the 20-yard dash and the 25-yard
hurdles, Manager Chapman arranged
to have these trials run Off in the
gymnasium previous to the meet. Ac-
cording to this plan. only four men
from each class will be entered in the
dash and but three In the hurdles.
The class drills. given by squads of
IL men picked from each class. are al
ways interesting. The seniors. under
b. s. Philoon as leader. have been
working conscientiously with the foils.
and expect. by Friday evening. to pre-
sent well-developed squad in fencing
The junior class with f. NJ. Sparks. as
leader. has been trying to master the
of the broad-sword. and to
all appearances has been most success
full. The Sophomores under p. s. Hill
have been hard at work with dumb
bells, while the Freshmen. with II. d.
Gibson as leader. have been swinging
Indian clubs afternoon and evening for
the last month.
The Freshmen have in their number
several men. judging from work in the
gymnasium, who will take points in
this meet ana who ought. this spring,
to make good showing on the track.
Hunt. the old Bangor sprinter. and
Kurdish of Brunswick. old rivals in
interscholaStic circles. can be depended
upon for some fast running, not only
in this meet, but also in the Intercol-
legiate meet. next June. Hayes and
Hamilton have been doing some good
work in the high jump. and with
proper coaching will be heard of later
in their course. Hamilton has also
been doing well in the shot
To pick the winner from those en-
tered in the 2O-yard dash is impossible.
and Kurdish. 'O2. will surely make fast
time. In the hurdles Hadlock. '99. Ed
wards. 90. Snow. '01. and Hunt, '02, will
have hard fight. Godfrey. 80. cap
tain of the track team. will. without
doubt. win the shot put, while the
chances of Bacon. 90. Laferriere. OF.
and Hamilton. '02. for points in this
event are good. The high jump is an
event. the winner of which will nee
essarily make a good record. since such
jumpers as Adams. 80, Dana. '99. Ed
wards. 90. and Hamilton, 02. are en-
tered. Clark. SO. and Wignott, 49,
should have their own way in the pole
vault.
The relay race usually attracts much
attention. Each class has a team Of
eight men who run 20 yards apiece
This race will doubtless be the most
exciting of the meet.
The following are the class captains:
4. r. Godfrey. 49, r. II. .4errill 90; A
