The tournament OF the Military Athletic
League that has been In progress at Madison
Square Garden for the past week wound up
last night. The large attendance OF the past
few days has insured a substantial amount be-
ing placed to the credit OF the league for the
promotion OF athletic and physical develop
menti in the United States Army and Navy and
the National Guard and naval militia. The
expenses OF the show have been far in excess
OF previous ones. owing to the increased ex-
expenditure in transporting troops. The
Thirteenth Infantry. that was represented at
the show by a detachment under Lieut.. Fuger.
has been ordered to Manila and will sail as
soon rs transportation is arranged.
The principal feature OF the show yesterday
afternoon was the exhibition Of rough riding
and hurdle jumping By the Third United
states Cavalry. Capt. Dodd relaxed his
usual strict discipline and the troopers
for awhile showed of their individual
tricks. The half mile run in heavy march
ing order for the military championship
was the only track event decided in the
afternoon. The competitors were all Twenty
second Regiment men. Z. Collyer. an old-time
pion at this style OF running. made the
pace until 200 yards from the finish. Then
Mclaughlin. who had been waiting behind
with McGirr. cut loose. and a pretty race en-
sued. Coliyer's stride shortened in the last lap,

won by four yards.
An obstacle race was the arst event on tho
evening programme. The athletes sTuirmcd
through barrels. crawled up and down ladders
and leaped over hurdles TO the evident amuse-
ment Of the spectators. Durham maintained
the lead until the last nity yards. when he gavo
way TO Graham. who got the better OF a
close finish. Mclaughlin. who has been the
bright pnrtipNlar altar Of tIa mating was
