There will be some supplementary races to-morrow to determine definitely the members of the Mott Haven team. The races will take place at four o'clock, and the following is the list of entries...

The parents of Brooks and Hamilton regard athletic training as just a trifle less dangerous than working a battery on Cemetery Hill, and the blue...
