erythng will be done to insure the comfort
of the contending athletes as well as the
convenience of the spectators on the 18th.
1t is especially adapted for just such oc-
casions this meet Its shape, being oval,
is very favorable for the competitors. The
sides are straight for. about thirty yards,
and thus give the runner the best chance
for speed. The corners will be high, not too
much so. but Just enough to promote safety
and favor all chances for speed. The
sprints will be run of in the center of the
hall. so that all the spectators may see
without craning their necks. The starts
will be at the extreme west end and the
| finishes at the east end. The jumps will be
\ in the center, will be the shot put The
dressing rooms, located at the east end,
are large. spacious and. should the weather
prove colder than usual, will be thoroughly
heated.
The efforts to bring the local branch of
the Y. NJ. G. A. and the Baltimore branch
OF the same organization together in re-
lay race has been very satisfactory. and
the outcome is that both teams will be
seen to advantage.

in September at Annapolis, although Speare.
the captain. was barred out upon some
technical point. Mike Stuart will run
under the University OF pennsylvania COL
ors. and the team will miss their steady
relay man, who pulled them out of tight
places many times. Morgan and Ford of
last years team will both try for posi-
ton on the team: also Keyser McElfresh,
Pimper. Brist, Graham, Edwards and Bib
son

| tinually carrying off all the prizes offered
| in this class of races. and is now making
| an earnest and painstaking endeavor to do
| so this year. The members of the other
| schools are not Idle. and If they lose again
| this year 1t will not be because they have
not trained and worked hard.
Daily the indoor track at GEORGETOWN
| which they have been permitted to use
| through the courtesy of the athletic assoc

All entries should be in the hands Of Jas.

| capper a chance to assign the men to theil
| places The prizes promise to be works of
/ art. consisting of large silver cups. Elk
| pense has not been spared to make them
unusually handsome, and they will doubt
