Improvement in the Running Track.

The Athletic Association is making an improvement in the board walk, extending from the gymnasium to the Physical Laboratory, which will offer an additional advantage for the training of the Mott Haven candidates. The walk for seventy-five yards is being made twice its former width. This will enable the men to do their outside work without being interfered with by others who are running at a different pace and by the public. As several men will be able to run abreast, short races can also be held. But the greatest advantage may be looked for in bringing out men for the hurdle races. By means of posts which will be set on the sides of the walk, both high and low hurdles can be had which will be wide enough for several men to run together.
