tically clinched its title as champion OF
the Catholic Athletic League by racing to
q well run victory in the annual athletic
carnival OF the Dominican Lyceum. held

night. The Dominican lads led Loughlin
Lyceum over the line by some twenty
yards. and the knights OF St Anthony
labored along fully nifty Yards behind the
leaders.
They took the lead at the crack OF the
pistol. and each succeeding relay saw
thew draw further away. The race was
run amid the widest tumult as the rival
"rooters" cheered the teams on.
The seventy-yard dash. open TO all
members OF the Amateur Athletic Union.
was enlivened by a dead heat between D.
Ferris. Of the Dominican Lyceum, and A.
Pepes. OF the Irish-American Athletic
Club. Ferris had the advantage OF one
foot on the Irish-Amercan runner, but
the latter closed with a rush and crossed
the tape on even terms. In the run-off
Ferris won by a scant foot.
W. Kramer. Of Long Island. scored an
easy victory in the 5,O0O-metre race and
Michel Arquette, by about one third OF a
lap. while the latter was a similar dis
tance ahead Of F. L. Belars. Kramer ran
his race in 15 minutes and seconds, only
one and one-ffth seconds behind the
worlds record for the distance, held by
George Bonhag.
At the bark of the gun Arquette went
out in the lead, and ran with an easy lope
that carried him over the ground at
| rapid pace. For the first few laps Bellar

in the van, Kramer held the pace at the
mile and passed the post in 4:43. On the
next lap Arquette rushed out, but his lead
was short lived.
Kramer tried the redskin out with a

mile, and it was clearly a two-man race.
Huysman and Bellars were running In the
order named hopelessly out Of IT, At a
mile and a half Kramer led by FIVE yards

easy stride. while Arquette was laborlng
along and showing signs Of distress.
Kramers advisers told him of the Car
Isle boys condition, and he set burning
pace for the next half mile and passed the
mark in Q AZ 40, some fifteen yards in the
lead. Arquette freshened a little at two
miles and crept up perceptibly. but he blew
up and dropped back again. Belars at this
point went up and passed Huysman, and
the Irish runner quit the race. From then
on Kramer went out, and striding in beauti-
full form raced ahead TO victory.
