The attendance at the contests in the gymnasium on Saturday afternoons is ridiculously small, and the number of competitions is so few that there can be little doubt that the advantage which it was desired should be gained will amount almost to nothing. On Saturday last no one appeared for the pole-vault. It may seem that when the spring comes the best work is to be done. This is a mistake. It is the mid-winter training that brings out the winners in the spring contests, and if the Mott Haven cup is to reappear here it will come about by the labors of January and February continued through March and April rather than by the late attempts of the latter months alone.
