The gymnasium presents a very lively appearance on afternoons at present. Squads of men are seen exercising in different parts of the building-some at the chest-weights and others with the Indian clubs, dumb-bells, etc.; in fact things begin to look decidedly business-like. The Mott Haven candidates are working regularly every afternoon, and also the football squad, which is now very large, is diligently at work under the supervision of Captain Cumnock and Mr. Lathrop. It is the purpose of the managers to let the men work together for a while and learn just what they are to do, and then break them up into small classes, which will work independently of one another. As soon as the weather will allow, the men will practice outdoors, but until the ground is in fit condition, they will devote themselves to gymnasium work, besides taking a short run daily up North avenue.
