 Most of the athletes are entered for more than one event and this shows that many of them are in good form for the meet and will make the competition very keen m all the events. No one event is going begging for entrants and most of them will be filled up.
 Tax Collector Burt Loomis will be the official starter at the meet while Joe Hergstrom physical director at the I. NJ c. A will be official timer. Arthur Pilz will be the an- nouncer, while other officials will be selected to judge the winners in the events.
 The track and Jumping pits are in good shape for the day and these will be rolled and raked again be- fore Saturday. The cooperation of the park board in this meet is one of the admirable things about it and shows that athletics have only to be started to meet with the support of the entire city.

The Delaney brothers have entered the 100 yard dash and they will make a good bid for the title of champions of the city Others it is reported are con- templating entering this event and there will be good field starting in this event. In fact it is thought that several heats will have to be run in this event.

 Chief Hart refused to divulge the names of his team and Chief Will liam C. Noble ia as noisy as a clam about the team he has selected to defend the reputation of the fire de- partment, Chief Hart stated that the firemen will be kept guessing until a few moments before the ac- tual event takes place before the po- lice team will be known and the firomen are also playing "possum" in this regard saying Well, we'll seet"
