and. and IN the first and second, the low
hurdles the broad jump and the pole

The milo and half-mile runs, the high

making a total OF twenty events In all.
The event OF the day is TO be the dual
relay race for the championship Of
Virginia. between Woodbury. Forest and
the Episcopal High School. in which the
picked men only from both schools VIII
s compete. Indications seem to point to
q very close and interesting race. and
ut tho present time the chances seem
somewhat In Woodberrys favor, owing
10 the excellent record OF their crack
man. Hardy The trophies for this race
viii be unusually handsome, and Will be
present ed 10 the successful team by an
alumnus OF the Episcopal High School.
Apart from this relay race between
these two prominent Virginia schools.
several relays are being arranged be-
tween the lining schools Of Vlr-
gInIa Maryland and Washington AS in
n the case OF the regular events. there
will be n division into three classes, with
the addition OF midget class on the
a game lines as indicated. The relay race
IN the first class Will be run off IN two
divisions, the second being composed Of
teams little slower than those In the
first. and yet faster than the stcond
class teams. The first divisions OF the
q first class Will probably be selected from
the following schools Central High
School. Army and Navy Preparatory
SCHOOLS. boys Latin School. Western
q High School. #5 G Georgetown Preparatory;
q School fnnd Technical High School, from
among which not less than three nor more
than five teams will run in the same
race. This Is In line with the policy Of
the management to allow no more than
{ five schools to compete In relay race.
and not to hold 1t for less than three,
save In the case OF the Virginia cham
a pionship race. In the second division OF
the first class it is likely tha> one or
more relay races will be run. Relay
races w also be organized, subject to
the above rule from tho second and
third classes. provided n sufficient NUM-
Der OF teams be entered. Tho relay race
for the third class will be only 220 yards
per lap, instead OF $40 yards. as for the
first and second.
An unusual and interesting event will
be the midget relay race GEO yeards to
Il the lap between boys under fourteen,
from the Milton Academy and other
teams OF the same age. II as many as
three enter. Berney Wcifers. the ia
4 nous sprintcr. holder OF the worlds re-
cord for the 1oo-yard dash and the 22o,
expects to bring over with him for COM
petition in this race a team of young
future champions in whom he Is much
interested.
Extensive work Is now going on at
the Episcopal High School campus In
lcveling and grading the track and IN
general preparation for the meet by tho

track will probably prove excellent. as
1t Is considered one OF the best clay
tracks in tho state. and everything is
being done 10 put 1t into tho best OF con-
dition. In a way. the hardness OF this
clay track will prove n handicap for the
home team, for q clay track, though
very fast for Il race, Is too hard for sat
4 isfactoryi training.
The meet is being looked forward to
with great interest," and arrangements
arc being made by tho school to handle
n largo crowd. From the entries 1t may,
be said that as many rs $50 contestants
Will be present to put up n spirited con-
test In the various events, for the inter-.
est and amusement Of the thousand and
more people who are expected to View
the meet, II the weather prove to he
bright.
