The South Armory.

The South Armory, where the Boston Athletic Association is to hold its meeting on Saturday night, is admirably fitted for athletic games. The floor is about one hundred and ten yards long and is without a post, the roof being supported entirely by trusses. There is room enough for the straightaway seventy-five yards, without making the stop incoveniently sudden. The track for the longer runs is one-ninth of a mile in circumference. It now consists merely of the section of flooring which is marked off at either end by a curved strip of black paint, but planking will be set up to mark clearly to the runner as he comes up the straight stretch on either side the exact size and shape of the curve that he must turn. The seats for the spectators will be rather close to the outer edge of the track but not uncomfortably so.

The Armory presents an animated appearance now in the afternoon, as a number of Harvard men and others do a considerable amount of training there in order to get used to the floor and the curves of the track.
