The eventy-fourth games OF the New York
A. @. were held yesterday at Travers Island.
and lengthy program with a representative
entry list including all the local cracks and
champions made q capital days sport. Al
though the weather forecast was not tempt
ing to days outing there was a big crowd
on hand. 1t being estimated that 10. 900 persons
iringed the athletic field big majority OF
these were OF the fair sex. and they made an
enlivening picture arrayed in all the glow
OF their spring millinery
The most absorbing feature of the day was
the two mile relay for clubs and collie ges.
The presence of the Yale team caused the
interest. and the Eli cracks were opposed by
the Winged Foot team the Irish A. A. c. and
the Mohawk A. c. Each man ran a half mile
and the order for the first three relays WAS
New York A. c.. Irish A. A. c., with Yale q
poor third.
When they started for the last relay Pill
grim for the New York was leading Taylor
Of the Irish club a couple of yards and Parsons,
the intercolle giate half mile champion, was
about forty yards behind. but with his fine
free stride the Yale flyer began to overhaul
the leaders. Entering the homestretoh
Taylor made his effort and went by Pilgrim.
winning by yard. Parsons was about FIVE
yards away and his individual time was 1
minute SIS LIS seconds. the best time for the
distance made ! america In several years.
The time of 7 minutes 81 As seconds Is a new
worlds record. supplantins the old record
OF minutes 50 seconds made indoors at Buff
falo last year. A markable fact In connec-
ton with this contest was that no less than ten
OF the contestants timed individually came
inside minutes for half mile.
Fast times we're recorded in all the events.
Only one scratch man won an event and this
was in the 22o yard hurdle. when Harry l.
Htllman came home winner. He had the
post Of honor in the quarter mile but the
fact that the winners time was 40 seconds
meant that Himan should have excelled
himself to be in the hunt at the finish. Pill
grim ran a fine race in the quarter. coming
home second of the ten yard mark. Great
things were expected Of Nebrick Of the New
York A. G. In the mile. He was on the scratch
mark, but the size of the field and the big
handicaps gave him but small chance and
he retired after trailing a couple of laps.
Quite a task was laid out for John Flan-
agan ha 1 he appeared in the hammer throwing
Gillies OF the New West Side A. c., who had
handicap Of So feet. hurled the missile ~

more than 10 feet beyond the worlds record
to beat the West Side man.
