of the Y. NJ c. A., and it is now good,
fast track. The entries have closed and
the physical directors are much pleased
with the showing. The college cracks
whose names have already been published
will appear, and some whom they were not
sure of will also compete. The Y. NJ. c. A.
will miss many Of its best men, but those

event are: Shirley, Carter, and ]. c. Man
ming, Of the Baltimore Athletic Club; ]. j.

Gymnasium, and A. Y. Hambleton, West
Branch Y NJ. c. A., of Baltimore. and A.
J. Cummings and Hough, of the Wash
ington Y. NJ. c. A. OF these, Carter, Of
the Baltimore Athletic Club, has the best
records, but the Washington Y. NJ. C. A.
will spring a surprise with Cummings. He
is a novice at the event, but gives promise
of becoming good one in a short time.

and Manning, Baltimore Athletic Club;

Athletic Club; Rosson. Gallaudet College;
Eberle and Barrett st. Leo's Gymnasium,
and Hough and Karnes of the Washington
Y. NJ. C. A, also Hintenach, st. Leo's

vault, and among others there will be
Parker, Blanford, and Cornelius, of the
West Branch. Baltimore Y. NJ. c. A.;

ger of the Baltimore Athletic Club.
Greene is the best pole vaulter of the Y.
NJ. c. A, and Mather is good mate, and
should the handicaper be lenient they
will make the others work hard to win
out. Blanford, with the help of the
handicaper, beat Greene last year, but
this time he will not be allowed SO much
handicap.

prize last year, and, il he has improved, he
may win again, but he must look to his
laurels. as Ferris of the Y. NJ. c. A. has
sprung into prominence and will give him
