M America ANOTHER CHANCE MADE RAPIDLY NEARING THE END. Tlie F.xcelsior Athlotio club hns made another change in the exercise under its auspic-s, hilled for April 0 and 10 at the Academy of Music List February Mio club decided to take charge of the fourth annual tourna ment of the Amateur Atlantic Aso- mtion of athletic. Entry blanks were sent out to all the clubs of the association, and the affair was exten sively advertised throughout the Eis- tsrn states. For some unknown reason tho ofli ;rs of tlie Excelsior club did not seem to get lunch encouragement or assistance from the board of managers of the Atlantic association, who were to receive half of the profits; and con s quenlly the sentiment of the club's members was that tlm association tour nament would be a Rssto, so thev de cided to drop the matter altogether As was stated in this column a week ago, tlm club intended to run a tourna ment of its own on the dates advertised for tho association events, and puts forth ull its ende ivor to make it eclipse all former tournaments. ASSl'RED EVERY ENCOURAGEMENT. President Joseph J. McXally nnd Sucretary John Collins left tor Pliila- leiunia last Wednesday to attend a meeting of the board of managers of the Atluntic association mid usk a re lease from the contract made in Febru ary, When the matter was brought up explanations were made by the members of the board that threw a dif ferent light on the sulij-'ct. I he apparent non-interest on the part of the managers turned out to bs without foundation. Instead Cillini ind MsXslly were assured and con vinced that earnest 00 operation was in progress for the success of tue ns?o- ciation tournament Assurances wete given that several first Class amateurs of the ilitrrent clubs of the association ha l already began training and would oe on hand when the time c mis. Why no answer came to Secretary Collins from over a hundred entry blanks forwarded to the various club, iinl which aroused the idea that the association tournament would be un succmiful, resolves itslf satisfactorily whot! the explanation is given that the entries will not reach here until the men are ready to come along, too. ENTRIES ALREADY RECEIVED. President McNally went on to New York from Philadelphia to s-?e P. J Donahue and secure niin us refere. .Mr. bonnhoe was a lvortissd ns the referee nt the last tournament of the Excelsiors nnd did not show up.
