TAYLOR'S FAST RACE.
NEGRO IN FINE FORM.
Rain Mars Work Of athletes at
n. Y. h. c. Games.


The New York Athletic Club and its thousands
of guests put up brave fight at Travers Island
yesterday against Jupiter Pluvius but the god
sent forth reinforcements before O'clock, and
q dTenched and unhappy band Of athletes fin
ished their struggles, soaked to the skin and
taking their chances OF Charley horse and
other ills a wet runner is heir TO.
It was the first time for years that rain had
come TO spoil the New York Athletic Club
games, and the clubmen felt especially bad
about II, because they had invited more than
twenty thousand guests TO have a look at the
new clubhouse, finished in every important re-
Hpect. The house replaces the old one. de-
stroved by fire some time ago. and is in every
way worthy of the great club that owns 1t. 1t
is absolutely hreproof, and the concrete building
with its red tiles and roof, is in pleasant con-
trast to the green that is everywhere else.
The games. scheduled for o'clock. We're bit
late in starting, because Of the rain. After
o'clock however. Jupiter Pluvus, the aforemen-
toned winlged and said TO himself: Good time
TO let up. Give 'em = chance TO collect crowd.
Then I'll get them. eh ?"
The god got his crowd, though not big a
one as he would have had if he had kept off in
the morning. and he encouraged it by making
the victims think the weather going to be
half way fair. after all.
There was no chance for records. and when

games. They were as nearly farcical meet
ing Of so many fine athletes well could be. and
the real winner Of the day was Jupiter Pluvius.
