 The attendance at the final contests of the Yale athletic games was, if possible, larger than that of last Wednesday. The gallery was crowded with ladies who seemed to take lively interest in all the proceedings. At 2 o'clock the judges, Messrs. Donaldson, '79, Camp, 80, Parker, 80, and Lamb, '81, to- getLer with the referee, Dr. Fl. A. Oakes, '75, and Pollock. '82, the time keeper, took their places. The referee immediately called for the entries for the horizontal bar. After about twenty minutes work, the prize was awarded to Burns, 80, over Scofeld, 80 s., Merrill, 's1, Bishop, '82 and Buel, '83. The work of Bishop was especially fine, and is de- serving of mention. In tumbling, Scofeld, 80 s., Hawkes. (med., Merrill, 's1, Burr, '83, Tucker, '83, gave 8 fine exhibition, Tucker, the little freshman, being the favorite of the ladies. The prize was given to Scofeld. The high jump was won by Cuyler, '82, at feet, 10 inches, Folsom, '83, failing at feet, 10 inches, Hutchinson, 80, at fleet, inches, Lamb, '81, at 4 feet, 10 inches. After the club swinging, for which the prize was awarded to Gilbert, '81, the ring was formed for the fencing. The contestants in fencing were Messrs. Morrow and Harper, 80, Rice and Welch, '82, McDonald, 'S1. The fencing was decidedly below par, and received the well merited derision which such slashing de- served. Harper and Rice did good work and it should have been credited to them. Mo- Donald was decided the winner by five points.
 The heavy weight boxing created no end of amusement, as neither Hull nor Folsom were adopts in the ssmanly art" After much pum meling MT. Folsom was declared the victor. In the light weight boxing Watson, 'S1, S., defeated Enc, '82. The light weight boxing was the event of the afternoon, Messrs. McHenry and Walker, 80, the contestants, being chums in college, and being considered nearly equal in skill. After an exciting con- test the prize was awarded to Walker, who was more graceful than his opponent, though not so hard hitter.
 The first men who entered the ring as wrest- lers were Graves, '81, and Weaver, '92, who furnished the intermittent circus last Wednes- day. This time, however, Graves made short work of his adversary and won two falls in quick succession. Graves next met Durand, '81, who proved harder customer, but was finally vanquished in 3 min. 37 sec. Hebard, '82, and Carpenter, '82 s, entered for the middle weights, Hebard winning. Hebard deserves credit for the plucky way in which he faced his adversary, who was 8 much heavier man, and for tho skillful man ner in which he threw his man. Waring, '81, and Wetmore, L. s., were the feather weights. Waring, '81, won easily in 2. 35.
 This was the last event of the afternoon, and the prizes were announced as follows Horizontal bar, Bevens 80, pair candlesticks; tumbling, Scofeld, 80, s., silver goblet; high jump, Ouyler, '82. silk gymnasium suit; high kick, Beach, '83, Majolica tray; Indian clubs, Gilbert, '81, pair oandlesticks fencing, Mo Donald, '81, pair foils sparring, Folsom, '83, gilt cigar stand Watson, '81, s., Malay fig ure; B.

 The exhibition, taken as whole, was sue cess, and proves conclusively that there is suf- fcient athletic talent in college to support an association. The thanks of the college are due to the following gentlemen who comprise the committee: Burns, 80 (chairman) ]; Hawkes., '79 (med.); Fargo, 's1; Badger, 's2 Beach 80 and Hiopiuson 80 s.
