Athletic's at the World's Fair.

Arrangements are being made for a grand athletic carnival at Chicago during the World's Fair. The games will be under the auspices of the Chicago Athletic Club, of which Mr. A G. Spalding is chief supporter. Mr. Spalding has already secured the use of the old Brotherhood Baseball League grounds for September 14, 15 and 16, 1893 and for September 18, if necessary. The carnival will be held in connection with the annual championship contests, which are held by the Athletic Union.

The managers of the Athletic Union have authorized Mr. Spalding to have a one third of a mile cinder track laid out, and also a two hundred and twenty yards straightaway course. A grand-stand to seat 25,000 will be built.

Provided that the World's Fair managers agree. World's Fair medals will be given. Each competitor will also receive a souvenir. The committee of entries will communicate with clubs of Europe and Australia. The carnival will thus have an international importance and will call out a host of competitors.

The programme for the three days is as follows: - First day, open handicap games; second day, football, lacrosse and lawn tennis; third day, championship games. The events arranged for the latter are as follows: - 100 yard run, one mile walk. 220 yard run, three mile walk, 440 mile run, two mile bicycle race, 880 yard run, pole vault for height, one mile run, running high jump, five mile run, running broad jump, throwing 16-pound hammer, throwing 56-pound weight for distance, putting 16-pound shot, 120 yard hurdle race, ten flights, three feet six inches high; 220 yard hurdle race, ten flights, two feet six inches high: individual tug-of-war, unlimited weight.
