Other Good Work Done.
The Columbia College athletes could not
have wished for better day to show their
prowess and speed on the athletic field than
thew had yesterday for their spring games
large number OF students and many smiling
and enthusiastic young ladies went up to the
Berkeley Oval early In the afternoon TO cheer
their favorites on to victory. Those who at
tended had the satisfaction OF seeing about the
finest display of athletic feats which has been
done at the Columbia games for many years.
Nearly all of tho men training for tho inter-
collegiate team competed in their special
events, and they all acquitted themselves cred
itably and have given the Columbia men ro-
newod hopos OF making rst-clasS showing at
the Intercollegiate meeting. Besides the mem
bers of the intercollegiate team, the work
done by many OF tho lesser athletes was very
good, indeed, and showed that thore was no
lack OF material in tho college from which to
draw in succeeding years.
Tho successful nature OF the games may bs
seen from the fact that Ave Columbia College
records were broken, very phenomenal oc-
curronce and in three events the records made
eQualled tho previous records The records
broken were in the following events: 120 yards
hurdle. Herbert Alapes ran this distance IN
los seconds, breaking his own best previous
mile bicycle race, W. H. Hall surprised most OF
ti tho spgeiatorS by riding very fast r4ce, His
seconds. made by d. II. Renton in 1855. Hall
