All the more Important athletic clubs of New Tork and the neighboring cities and several of the larger colleges contributed to the army of athletes who competed In Madison Square Garden last night in the nrst half of the two-day Winter carnival of sports of the Mew Jersey Athletic Club.

In the international dumb-bell competition, Fred Winters of the New Weat Side Athletic Club held a seventy-two-pound, twelve-inch bell in his right hand and a aixty-two-pound bell in his left, stretching oik his arms at full length. The refeeoe said It was a world's record. Cycle racing was of a farcical character, owing to the inability of the riders to stay up on the slippery turns. By the time several heats had been run the falling of riders at the turns was more Interesting than the racing itself, and the plucky ones who remounted and finished were more heartily cheered than the winners.

A discussion on college athletics took place last night at the meeting of the Quid Nunc Club, In ttte Misses Merrington's Academy, Lenox Avenue and One Hundred and Nineteenth Street Charles P. Sawyer, sporting editor of The Evening Post, read a paper on College Athletics." As a preface, he spoke of athletics in general, aaylng this country In the past tew years has developed Into an and sport loving people. He said there never had been a more health-giving fad than that of bicycling, and attributed the decrease In mortality in this city to that and other athletic outdoor sports almost entirely.

College athletics," said Mr. Sawyer, have been placed on a higher level, and no lonxer are the athletic sports of the undergraduates deemed a necessary evil." It was the speaker's attitude on football that incited the discussion. He said the game must be regulated or it will be abolished because of its brutality. As originally intended, when agility and not mere brute strength was the chief prerequisite, the rame wa all right. But of recent years It had degenerated into a mere exhibition of brutality, and this was particularly true of the season Just past.

Mr. Sawyer said he witnessed all the big games, and they were much the same. Bach player simply tried to permanently disable the opposing player. After this rather severe arraignment of the game, he suggested numerous restrictions, and stated that If played as he suggested, or along those lines, the game should prove very helpful. In the discussion which followed, arguments pro and con were made by the Rev Ijr Beattle, Vernon M.

David Lambert, aged forty-two la the victim, and though still alive at midnight he was unconscious, and his death is only a question of a few hours. Six shots were fired at him, all of which took effect, one bullet crushing his skull another lodging in his right lung, the third in his elbow one in his hip, while the other two inflicted flesh wounds In the abdomen The affair happened late this afternoon' and the story, as told by Mrs. Lambert is to the effect that In response to a knock on the door shortly before 5 o'clock she opened it and was confronted by two masked men. who Immediately seised her and going inside threw her on the floor, rar. ged her and bound her, and then chloroformed her.

Mrs. Lambert was alono in the house at the time, and the robbers proceeded about Lhe house in search of plunder. While they were up stairs Mr. Lambert returned from this city, and Just as he entered the house he was deliberately shot at by the mem. who emptied two revolvers into him.

He fell to the floor unconscious and has remained so ever since. The robbers then calmly-drew the shells from their revolvers, reloaded them, and took Mr. Lambert's team and drove away After gTeav exertion Mrs. Lambert ue-eeeded in freeing herself a few hours later and going to the nearest neighbor, about half a mile distant, told of the affair.

ef Prnnnbl Sensntlenal Interest nn His lianas. District Attorney Otcott said yesterday that he had on his hands a case oC possible murder, which mlibt rival that of Charles Zanoll In sensational Interest The particulars of the case he declined to give. He said that his reason for keepinr the facts from the public waa that their disclosure might defeat the ends of justice. 'Neither would the police give any Information in regard to the case. It was rumored that the police were seeking to arrest a man now traveling In Europe, and that the case was connected with the case of Bernard who dided at his home, 17 East Fifteenth Street, on Friday.

Dec. 10. Mr. Rogers was fifty-seven years old. He was born in Ireland, and had lived in this country fifty years.

He was attended In his last Illness, from Nov. 15 until his death, by Dr. Wiliard Parker. The records show that he died of cerebral hemorrhage, coma, and chronic nephritis. Two days after his death his body waa placed In a vault In Calvary Cemetery.

Mr. Rogers's sister. Mm Thompson, with whom he lived, keeps a little uress goods store at 17 East Fifteenth Street. 8he lives oyer the store with Henry Rogers, a brother of Bernard, and a daughter of the deceased, a girl about nineteen years old. Mrs.

Thompson said last nfght that she was astonished to think that her brother's case could be the one to which the District Attorney referred. She said her brother bad left no property, and that his life was not Insured. He had separated from his wife, she said, fifteen years ago. He had been a sufferer from paralysis and kidney disease for years. A Dr.

Strong, she said, had attended him before Dr. Parker, besides another physician, now traveling in Europe, whose name ahe did not remember. Dr. Parker said last night: Mr. Rogers died Just as I certified that he did.

If his is the case, they -cannot get around my certificate. If reports have been made to the authorities regarding his death they have been made by his wife, who cannot have any suspicions that are well founded." Ke EsasMl Ware Trnat Yet. CHICAGO. Dec. 17.
