George Washington University is to
be represented by a track team at the
Georgetown indoor meet to be held at
Convention Hall, February 25.
Tomorrow afternoon a meeting will
be held in University Hall, Fifteenth
and II Streets. for the purpose of rous-
ing interest in the track team. The
services of Capt. William c. Bryan, for
four years director of athletics at the
University of Pennsylvania, have been
secured as trainer. This in itself would
insure a strong representation from the
Buff and Blue.
Students Interested.
A great deal of interest is being dis
played by the students. and it is under
stood that a score or more of feet
footed athletes will meet Trainer Bryan
Monday afternoon and signify their
willingness to train for the big meet.
There is large number of athletes
in George Washington University who
would come out for the track team when
they would not try for anything else.
1t takes little time to prepare for run
ming. while baseball or football requires
much team practice.
The prospects for turning out a
team which will reflect credit upon the
university are bright.

Grandstand at New Park Said to Be
Most Notable Structure ON
Long Island.

NEW YORK. JAN. 23.-It is expected
that the stewards of the Jockey Club
will meet today and discuss the matter
of dates for 1896.
There is no doubt that the application
of the New York Jockey Club and the
Empire City track for recognition was
an unpleasant surprise TO most of the
principals in control of the respective
racing associations, and that the re-
quest for dates was cause for much
thought
Cannot Satisfy All.
Whether the stewards will be able to
satisfy all factions in the matter OF
dates is open to doubt, but one thing
should not be forgotten-the men who
will settle the question are the same
men whose efforts for the last nine
years to protect the interests of race
track owners and 1lorsemeu generally
have been the means of fattening the
treasures OF all the metropolitan
courses.
Visitors to Queens. l. l., declare that
the most notable structure in all that
part of Long Island is the immense
grandstand at the new Belmont Park,
This structure is now nearly complete,
and, added to the solid. substantial
clubhouse, the offices. 6eld stand, pad
