Twenty-third Regiment in the armory at At
lantio and Bedford avenues last night at
tracted a big crowd Of spectators. the building
being full TO the doors. A lengthy pro-
gramme OF twenty-three events. only three
or which were Open. made q capital nights
sport. One OF these brought out Ray G.
! Ewry. the Olympic standing jumper. and he
showed his suppleness in q hitch and kick
contest and later on gave the crowd a nne
sample Of how he manages TO make his 1.-the
attenuated muscles propel his o over q
bar in the standing high jump.
In the hitch and kick Ewry had lawson
Robertson as an opponent and he went out
when the tin disk was at Z feet and Ewry went
higher and higher until 1t reached 0 feet Q
inches. 1t was then raised to Q feet So inches
and he just failed: in fact. In one Of his trials
his toe shot higher than the tin. but II did not
touch it. The record 10 Q feet . inches. by
Lee OF Yale about nineteen years ago. Using
a double kick. Lwry hit & height Of 7 feet 10
inches, the record being 8 feet II inch.
