 The athletic tournament which is tc
 be given by the Second Regiment, c. N
 G., at their armory on Meadow street
 this city, on Saturday evening, March
 22, promises to be the most successful
 event of the kind ever given in this
 state.
 Among the prominent men entered in
 the open events we find in the fifty
 yard dash handicap, Washington Del
 gardo of the New York Athletic club
 who is the only sprinter who has ever
 beaten the worlds champion sprnter,
 A. F. Duffy of Georgetown university.
 In that event he tied the worlds record
 for sixty yards, which is 6 2-5 seconds,
 Then we have F. R. Moulton, formerly
 of Kansas university, now of the New York Athletic club and Yale University Athletic association. He is one of
 Yale's new stars and in the fall games at Yale field he won the one hundred yard dash in ten seconds flat, which is
 within one-fifth of a second of the
 worlds record, 4-5 seconds. He won also the 220 yard handicap from scratch in the record time of 21 4-5 seconds. He won the one-quarter mile handicap,
 starting from scratch, against strong field of competitors. w. Arnstein who also starts in the above event, is a member of Yale's freshman class and is ! considered their star sprinter. Another Is J. Spraker, the noted high jumper. A very close finish is to be looked for between Messrs Delgardo and Moulton.
 Tn the fifty yard hurdle open handi- cap are entered several prominent ath- 1etes, one of whom is Harry Arnold of the Union Settlement Athletic club. who, during the international champi- onship games held at Buffalo, won the 12O yard, 22O yard and 440 yard hurdle championships, together with the worlds championship. He holds also the A. A. U. junior championship 220 !. yard hurdle with record of 26 4-5 sec onds In 1901 he was the winner of the Metropolitan association 220 yard hur- de championship. In fact, he is the worlds champion hurdler At Buffalo this winter he broke the indoor worlds record sixty yard hurdle; time ' 2-5 seconds. At the Twenty Regi- ment games he established a new worlds record for seventy yards high hurdles; time 1-5 seconds. Another starter in this event is J. B. Thomas, one of Yale's famous murders. He is to be watched with interest in this event, as is also J. $. Spraker, the champion broad jumper.
 In the 44O yard handicap open we find ont1 T Q fan1OI1c quarter miller, also J. H. Kane, formerly of Villa Nova college. and w. Lilley, Yale University Athletic association In fact, great deal could be said about all the men entered in this event and, judging from their past perfor mances, it should develop into a very exciting contest
 Tn the 8S0 yard open handicap one and one- half mile, Harry Arnold will again compete. He is the holder for this distance of the Metropolitan asso- citation championship, having won this event at Buffalo. N. Y, last fall in the worlds record time of two minutes, two and two-fifth seconds. D. W, Franchot, another competitor, is not only Yale's champion half-miler, but is, in fact, recognized as one of the best half-milers in the country; he will un- doubtedly start from scratch. He was the winner against a strong field at the Boston Athletic club games in the one thousand yard handicap. In c. Jaco- bus we find a competito or who comes to Yale from Exeter academy, where he established record for himself as a middle distance runner by winning the An h 1I1o1 oh a nj. onship. At the fall handicap games of Yale he won a. second in the half-mile run and a third in the two mile event, making a very strong showing in both. N.
