New York Athletic Club
Private club at Central Park South and 6th Avenue, formed in 1868 by William B. Curtis, Henry E. Buermeyer, and John C. Babcock in the backroom of the Knickerbocker Cottage on 6th Avenue between 27th and 28th streets. On 11 November 1868 the club sponsored the New York Athletic games, the first indoor amateur athletic meet in the United States, in the unfurnished Empire Skating Rink on 3rd Avenue. On a cold, rainy night the meet drew more than a thousand spectators, who saw six track and eight field events; among the innovations introduced at the meet were cleated athletic shoes and an early bicycle with a large front wheel called a velocipede. The club built a boathouse on the Harlem River in 1870, opened a club at Mott Haven in June 1874, and in 1880 purchased an island of 30 acres (twelve hectares) in Long Island Sound as a training retreat for its elite competitors. Called Sheffields Island (later renamed Travers island for the clubs president William R. Travers), the island had two buildings in which as many as seventy athletes could live and train while carrying on business in New York City. By 1898 the club had many prominent businessmen in the city as members. The clubs building on Central Park South, opened with great fanfare on 22 January 1929, houses extensive athletic facilities, restaurants, and guest rooms.
