Mott Haven Candidates.

For the last five or six days the running track has been in good condition and has been used for practice by the Mott Haven candidates. Most of the men, except a few doubtful ones from '88, are now taking light exercise daily. There are not as many sprinters as usual now at work. For the quarter and half mile runs there are about the average number of candidates, and an unusually large number of mile runners. There is also a good outlook for the hurdle and bicycle races. The field sports are not so flourishing as those of the track. More men are wanted for the hammer, shot and pole vault.

It is still too early to tell what the prospects are in the individual events, for hard work will not begin until after the April recess. Of last year's Mott Haven team some of the '88 men may compete again, and all the others are in training with the exception of Bell '91, who has trouble with his heart. Lund, will in all probability run again after the recess. Wright and Cogswell are still in doubt, but may be persuaded to take part in the sports.
