excitement existed. Spectators craned
their necks now to see one man in
front, and when they tried to follow
with the eye the fieet-footed aspirants
for honors they failed to see how one
man changed his place from third to
first until the cry went up that the
lrish-American Club runner, Joe Brom-
How, had his opponents well covered.
The men were nearing the last flag
when little Billy Berker, of the New
York Athletic Club, showed a burst of
speed that brought him close to the
shoulders of Bromilow. The latter took
one glance over his right shoulder,
pumped on more steam, and the race
was over, as far as Bromilow was con
cerned. He won by several laps, and
Billy Berker had the satisfaction of
knowing that there was no doubt of
Bromilow's ability as a one-milc run
ner.
The Great Sheridan There.
One of the first men to grasp the
hand of Bromilow was Martin Sheri-
dan, the greatest athlete in the world.
He is a clubmate of Bromilow, and, as
the wonderful discus-thrower picked up
BroInilow, he exclaimed, ut was q
great race, Joe, and I'm glad you won
The answer Joe gave has a lesson in
1t. well, you ant win these things
without suffering. and l am certainly
all in, for that Berker boy pushed me
hard"
President Ryan Cheered.
When it came time for the presenta-
ton of the prizes President of the
Board of Aldermen Patrick j. Ryan
walked to the centre of the drill room
and assisted by the members of the
athletic committee, handed around the
medals and trophies. AS he called each
winner the iron rafters waited back
the cheers which were sent up for shci
generous donor, THE STAR, and En-
other for the head of the Board of Aid
ermen. Dancing followed, and the
strains of the old familiar "Home.
Sweet Home brought to a close one
of the most successful and one of the
largest meets of it's kind ever held in
this State.
One Protest Made.
Paul Pilgrims entrance into the one
mile relay handicap caused a kick. The
New York Athletic Club men had Pill
grim as their mainstay, and when he
picked up his man and beat his oppo-
nent, both the Gordon A. c. and N. Y.
A. c.. kicked, but to no avail.
