Walter Camp, Col.

They propose to give them a chance to hold athletic meets and get training under proper supervision for field sports, giving them somewhat the same advantages that are provided for college boys. The Association has be- come incorporated and their first ath- letic meet will be held Good Friday, April 14th. The following are the events:
 50 yard dash; mile relay for boys closed to grammar schools for the Journal-Courier cup; 1-2 mile novice mile novice run; 10 mile handicap race.
 The Secretary writes the sporting ed itor of the Farmer that the association will be glad to welcome any of the live young fellows of Bridgeport, those 1 mile Or 2 miles nQvce races and especially the ten mile handicap race. For this last race Ex-Senator Frank S. Butterworth who is president of the Association and the builder of the Taft Hotel, has offered a handsome hIty uolldr cup as time pllZe HIS cup is to be held by the one who makes the best time on any of the as- sociation's athletic tracks in a ten mile race three times The name of each holder of the cup will be engrav- ed upon it and his time. In addition to this other prizes will be given, handsome cups. trophies and medals. The athletic meet will be held under the rules of the A. A. U., which any young fellow who wishes to run can join by paying a quarter. The physi- cal director of the Y. M. c. A., or the sporting editor of the Farmer will ob- tain blanks and help any young fel- low who wishes to join the A. A. U. in filling out the same. Entry blanks for the New Haven meet can be ob- tained by addressing Wm. Hunter, chairman of the Athletic committee, Room 59 No. 69 Church St., New Ha- ven, Conn.

Now if the Boys Club wish to live up to the original agreement they can do so by calling up phone 2612-2 at 8 o'clock this evening.
