toned athletic meet ever held in the
city of Newark In connection with
the safe and sane Fourth" The
meet will take place at the new pub
lie school playground. Bloomfield and
Roseyille avenues, and the Municipal
Athletic Association has left nothing
undone to make the sport carnival
an unparalleled success.
While it was generally expected
that the field day would draw a
heavy list of entries, the crop of ell
gibles that poured into the secretary 5
office fairly swamped the committee.
All the principal clubs, playground
centres, public and parochial schools,
and a generous supply of unattached
athletes have forwarded entries In
the various events.
The prizes for the meet have been
hung up by the Evening Star and
consist of gold, silver and bronze
medals for the winners In their re-
spective classes. These medals have
been especially moulded in an attrac-
tive design showing an athlete In
action, while underneath is the seal
of the Municipal A. c. finished in red
and white. the associations color.
In order that all contestants nm
fishing "in the money will receive
an award, the prizes will be appor-
toned as follows: In the senior,
Junior, midget and A. A. u. events
the first three under the wire Will
receive gold, silver and bronze med
ais respectively. while six bronze
medals await the winners In the two
flag relay races. Eight medals are
offered the winners In the oat-
bag relay for girls and the club,
school or playground scoring the
highest number of points Will be
awarded a banner in addition to the
individual prizes.
AS present indications point to fast
tracks in the running events the old
timers look forward expectantly to
the prospect of many records being
shaved or at least equaled by the
cracks. 1t was decided by the COM
mittee at recent meeting that In
the event of rain or other unfavora-
BILE conditions the meet will be held
on Saturday, July 8.
