The Knickerbocker Athletic Club held
it's first meet at Bayonne, yesterday, on
the famous oval, which was the New
Jersey A. C. home before the ~amalgama-
ton of the two clubs. Never was there
a bigger success in the athletic world.
The. day was beautiful and just right for
the sport. Every available spot in the
neighborhood was occupied with enthusi-
asts. In all there were about 1900 peo-
pie in the grounds and they were greatly
delighted with the programme offered
Cheers and shouts of encouragement were
literally given the victorious contestants.
1t was a gala day. TIL grand stand and
clubhouse presented a most beautiful pic
ture with the pretty and handsomely cos
TUNED ladies intermingling with the gem
tlemen in summer attire. All around the
field was an unbroken wall of people and
dotted about the beautiful green were the
officials, all of which made up a charm
ing scene. The great success of the day
delighted Mr.. Sullivan, Mr.. Cornish and
Mr.. Frawley, who has been working very
hard for the success they attained for
the club and to these gentlemen and their
efficient corps of assistants is due great
credit and thanks for a great boom to
athletes this year.
The day opened with a baseball game,
followed by a football and a lacrosse
game These events drew large crowds,
but the main features were the track
and field events, and at two o'clock,
when the 100 yard dash was started, the
crowd had reached the immense proper
tons mentioned above.
The only record lowering happened in
the seyenty-iye yard sack race, when j.
F. Norton, of the Knickerbocker A. c.,
who held the worlds record was beaten
by F. A. Onderdonk. of the New West
OlQ "a. III, III ~ ID tCOIluS, L Lii SSSOLioS
better than Norton's record.
The event that pleased local enthusiasts
beyond all other was the 440 yards run for
novices. Howard Mulry, of the Jersey
City High School, won the race from a
big field in the very excellent time of
a 3-5 seconds. Mulry showed great judg-
ment and knows the game all right. He
is not heavy enough yet, but many ex-
| perts on talent Yesterday predicted a sue
eessful athletic career for him.
Herbert Marvel, the Knickerbocker A.
9. half mile flyer, easily defeated J. P.
Adams, of Yale, in the special half mile
event. Marvel also did good work in the
half mile handicap. He had a big field to
/ overtake and was just beaten at the
finish. A few more yards to go would give
the race.
J.. w. Tewkesbury, of the University of
Pennsylvania, foundh himself up against a
losing game in the 100 yards handicap.
He won his trial easily, but a hardy boy
| from Hartford named w. Marshall was in
and had a handicap of 7A yards. He won
his heat in ten seconds fiat and Tewkes-
| bury saw that he would have to break
a record to win so he quit.
