Make-Up of the New York Teams.y.E.010000010uThe relay race at Franklirt Field’s opening to-morrow, in which most of the Interest Is centred, is that between Harvard and Pennsylvania. Until this year Harvard has been unbeaten in this kind of racing and she has entered all the principal contests of the past.Relay races, however, are an invention of the last few years. Single racing for a quarter mile as well asother distances dates back to the first of athletic contests, but the idea of running four men as a team, each to take up the race at the time the other finished, has remained till modern times to be originated and is undoubtedly destined to fascinate the general JJI public as completely as football or1 haqp btW(2.0000000mafCatgal(ThHXi1.21W.s(Pe113110.53OthToiT0ntkbase ball. The interest during the race is certainly more intense, although of course it doesn’t last as long as the former games. Harvard has excelled in this sport because of her far-famed ability to develop men for the quarter-mile distance.The first and only time Harvard has suffered defeat in this sport wras last winter at the Boston Athletic Association games, when Pennsylvania in a very close race crossed the tapeahca* i.NEW YORK RUNNERS.The College of the City of New York yesterday selected the four men who will represent them in their race with the University of the City of New York in the relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania. The men selected and the order in which they will run Are A. C. Deignau, '95; A1 Allmuth, ’96; C. F. Jellinghaus, ’97, and G. V. Lyons, ’98. Of them Lyons is the better man, while Allmuth, Deignau and Jellinghaus are nearly on a par. They will contest againstC. C. Smith. '96; A. E. Munson. ’96; B. Foster, ’98, and W. H. Roberts, ’96,of the University of New York.Lafayette, who will race against Lehigh, will be represented by JohnD. Clarke, George Barclay, Alfred S. Sigman and George D. Walbridge, while Lehigh has selected F. I. Wheeler, George L. Yates, S. J. Gass and B. B. Loomis to uphold their colors. Wheeler and Clarke will be matched in the first race. Clarke has a record nearly four seconds superior to his opponent and should lead by a good margin at the blose of the first relay, running In 55 seconds. Yates will contest In the second relay, against Barclay, and should regain some of his companion’s lost ground, he having a record of 55 seconds against Barclay’s 56. Gass, who competes against Sigman, should again do much to place Lehigh on an even basis,running close to 55 against his opponent’s 59, while Loomis and Walbridge are about on a par, both having difficulty before them to beat the other out of the place for a victory. It is thought popularly that Lehigh will have the call, owing to the fact that in recent years they have given more attention to track athletics than their Easton rivals, and have made rather better performances than the men representing Lafayette.The work on Franklin Field Is being pushed rapidly and It is hoped that the track will be in good condition for Saturday's sports. Two engines have been at work rolling for the past two days and the track is now quite hard. No fast time is looked for, however, as the track Is bound to be heavy. There are some twenty men working on the base ball diamond and have finished sodding it. The outfield is being leveled up androlled.pan furl lt;7 t a hi3 tlt;to 1 F Bla TonondthirSoialsoFBellgall4 to8 tCraiandAL1Barverandlt;wen1.19secotendlivelnersrumchardowFIlongwonsecothirPilgPeteSeKeyFinrond;thlrcnoreBoyFoxTh(Coudre-(HarJimnTaccPriniFovolionors,lopinthird
