...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.

...seventh heaven of ecstasy, and a nurse to take off his hat to, and to lavish his most winning smile upon, and it will be hard to find a more contented being than Signor Smitherini. He knows that he is inspiring two or three little souls with perfect bliss, and is himself expecting every moment an increase in his worldly goods. Is not this true happiness, to be doing good to others and to be getting good from them in return? One cannot imagine an organ-grinder to be a scamp. Take the blackest scoundrel...
