1-mile run 4 m. 29 1/2 s. N. Y. A. C. Games, May 31, 1880
Our only fear for Mr. Myers is that he may not become fully acclimated in time for the sports; but, if he is in a position to do himself justice on the day of the English championships, we do not doubt that he will amply prove to his friends that their confidence is not misplaced. We wish him all possible success.
The winter meeting of the N. Y. Athletic Club will take place on March 14 and 15 next, and that of the Manhattan Athletic Club on the following day, March 16, - both to be held at the Madison Square Garden, New York. The latter is given for the purpose of raising sufficient money to pay the expenses of Myers in England. Among other attractions, Myers himself will attempt to beat his own 3-4-mile record, in which attempt he will be assisted by several prominent amateurs; as, L. A. Stuart, Voorhees, White, &c., who will run with him in turn, relieving each other at intervals. It will doubtless be a great performance for that track.
The N. Y. Sportsman has failed to make its appearance for the last six weeks or more. We hope that the expense attendant upon its December improvements has not compelled the editors to discontinue it. We shall issue with the Crimson a revised copy of our best-on-record tables which appeared last year. They will be very carefully revised, and all the corrections will be made which this last busy athletic year has rendered necessary.
