q, o'clock the time announced. which was
so-,e+bing rather out of the ordinary. The big
car5en was almost noisy a place as ii was
-aoently when the six day bicycle riders held
svav. Among the spectators were hundreds Of
Girls and women who cheered when their
friends won.
The feature Of the evening the appearance
of Arthur F Duffey the holder Of the world S
records at one hundred yards and sixty yards.
and the international sprinting champion. Duff
Gov annesred twice The first time he was un-
nIaced in one Of the sixty yard trials. being un-
able to overcome the big handicaps Of his COM
,,etitors Later he against the worlds in
door sixty yard record, and came within one
fifth of a second, a credtable performance under
the circumstances. The Georgetown flyer re-
ceved an ovation on both occasions.
What was expected to be the most exciting
contest on the programme. the four-mile relay
race was disappointment The University Of
Pennsylvania team was outclassed by the
winged foot runners. A much more exciting
race was the interscholastic relay race. The
BROOKLYN High School boys. always excellent
runners, never performed better, and made each
relay winning one. Other good features were
the running high jump, in which Harry Gum
pelt with a handicap Of nine inches, and an
actual jump of 3 feet inches, won, and the
3 game Of Gaelic football between the Centrals
ana the Young Irelands The management was
creditable throughout, the large number Of con-
tests being run off promptly and without loss of
time The attendance was about the best ever
seen al an athletic meeting in New-York since
the L. E Meyers benefit in 1883.
DUFFEY Is BEATEN

ting 1ho r17f1lnn
warmly applauded. He started in the sixth
heat. and, while he made gallant effort, he
WAS beaten Duffey was off like fash, and al
twenty-five yards seemed likely tc win. He
could not improve, however, and John c. Doyle,
Of the National Athletic Club. with sixteen feet
start was the first man TO breast the tape.
Dufey was beaten fully two yards. The time
was 62-5 seconds. which equaled the worlds
indoor record. which made in the memora-
ble sprint between Duffey and Delgado. Later
Dufey failed to locate the record in a special
paced trial.
The intercity team relay race of four miles
brought out four men each from the New-York
Athletic Club, Long Island and Philadelphia.
Each man was TO mile. The
finish in the first relay was be-
tween Baillie and wosa, the latter be-
ing about 4 yarl in front. Rottger was
far behind. Cohen, for Long Island, made up
the ground lost by Rottger, and at the end Oh
The fifth lap he only yard behind irving
Orton and McMeekan. McMeekan ran away
from the others in the last two laps, and lin
ished sixty yards ahead of Irving Orton, who
was forty yards before Cohen. Newton in

1S:204-5.
The half-Inile run proved another easy victory
for the New-York Athletic Club. P. II. Pilgrim

left his competitors, and won easily by fully
thirty yards He will not be treated so literally
next time by the Handicapped.
