WE have been requested to print the following report: -
NEW YORK, June 4,1877.In pursuance of instructions, the Executive Committee report in detail briefly the progress of arrangements for the coming Field Meeting of the Association. The track has been engaged for Friday, July 6, 1877, and has been thoroughly inspected by the Committee. The path, which is composed of cinder and clay, is one fifth of a mile in circuit, and excellently adapted for running and walking, and is now in perfect order for training purposes. The dressing-rooms are being provided with lockers by the New York Athletic Club, and contain every convenience for contestants. The apparatus necessary for every contest is now ready at the track. Arrangements are now in progress for providing seats for three thousand spectators, and every convenience can be expected by visitors. As regards prizes, although the financial success of the day will, in great measure, determine their value, yet they will, in any case, surpass in quality and workmanship anything of the kind presented outside the field of college athletics. The Committee intend to award solid gold badges to First and Second places, and in every case the prize alone will be well worth the contest. The entry-book is now ready, and in the hands of Mr. H. L. GEYELIN, of the University of Pennsylvania, and already the names of prominent athletes appear on his lists. The Committee are preparing a set of Field Rules, which will be distributed before June 20. The Committee, in closing, would earnestly beg the hearty co-operation of all the athletes of the various colleges. Assuring all such that they may rely on honorable treatment and every chance of success, and that no effort shall be spared to render the coming Meeting the most successful in American athletics,
We remain, respectfully,
CLARENCE W. FRANCIS,EDWIN H. HERRICK,D. C. MORRELL,Executive Committee.
