The men were allowed five minutes to work on the rope, but the '95 men gained such advantage on the drop that by vigorous spurts they succeeded in pulling the rope over ill minutes and 21 seconds. '84 and 'S6 then pulled. This con- tes5 was closer, but '6G won. The next event was the 100 yards dash There were seven l starters.
