220-YARD RUN.

clVal ana II. A. Gerdes also starueu
time, "a 3-5 seconds.
1t was generally expected that thi
would be a hot race, and so /
proved to be. Gard again demon
strated his superior fieetness of foot by
outfinishing his opponent after a hare
struggle. Howard Just beat Benjamin
for the silver medal. Gard now holds
the 220 record, as the best previous clut
record was 25 1-5 seconds, held by j. w
Winston. The best time ever made al
the championship games of the Pacific
Coast Athletic association is % 70
made by V. f. Schetferstein, in 1890.
RUNNING BROAD JUMP.
Il. Crump, IL feet 81a inches, first
Il. D. Chapman second, George Beebe
third.
A protest was entered against Ben
jamin competing, as the competitors
had commenced before he could get
reaoy after the 220-yard run. This very
unamateurish proceeding robbed Ben
jamin out of several points and virtually
made Crump present of the event, as
the other contestants were novices. This
was one of the few events in which the
club record was not broken.
ONE MILE BICYCLE RACE.
D. L. Shrode first, D.L. Burke second,
w. ]. Allen third; time, 3:14.
This race created considerable en-
thusiasm, and excitement waxed high
when the men mounted their machines
for the signal. The race was desperately
fought from beginning to end, but the
HERALD's "Monrovia Cyclone" pedalled
furiously to the front, coming sdown the
straight and won cleverly from Burke.
Monrovia broke loose when the result
was announced and triumphantly car
ried Shrode ON their shoulders to the
dressing room. Young Allen rode a
game uphill race. The coast record for
the mile is held by w. S. Wing. who
covered the distance over the Agricul-
tural Park track in 2:531s seconds. Wing
died quite recently in Florida.
ONE MILE RUN.
Thomas McAleer first, Sam Peterson
second, G. V. Howard third; James
Ryan, E. w. Hopperstead. F. G. Robin
son, W. HI. Syme and ]. R. McNab albo
started time, :06 2-5.
This was probably the biggest field Of
starters ever seen in mile race in Cal
ifornia. Syme assumed the lead at the
start with McAleer in close attendance.
At the quarter the athletes were all
punched. The pace was too severe for
quite number, and when the half
was reached the runners were very
much spread eagled. McAleer showed
to have the most stamina and won
rather easily from Peterson, who ran
nobly for beginner. The time made
by McAleer is now the club record, sup
planting the record of 2:13 previously
held by A. d. Taylor.
RUNNING HOP, STEP AND JUMP.
E. d. Chapman, 81 feet 81 inches,
first, George Beebe second, B. A. Benja-
min third.
Chapman beat this distance very con-
siderably at an extra trial. Benjamin e
best performance was not allowed, as he
stepped on the line in taking off. This
game is not standard and has gone out
of date. The best coast record is Al
feet.
ONE MILE WALK. se
E. w. Hopperstead first, H. Chevallier
second, A. w. Francisco third; time,
minutes 52tsecopds sssa' 'ls.s A'ss'ss'.. {.
This event does not need an extended
notice. 1t was the poorest contest OF
the day, and the time made was away
below zero.
HALF-MILE RUN.
Thomas McAleer first, @. w. Bell sec
ond, James Ryan third time, I'll 4-5.
This was grand race, and the spec
tators will long remember the great
struggle between Charles Bell of Pasa-
dena and McAleer. The pace was hot
from the crack OF the pistol. 1t soon
settled down to battle between Nc
Aleer and Bell. The latter. led 22O
yards from home by four yards. Nc cAleer
gradually overhauled his Pasadena op-
ponent, and by grand continuous
squirt won brilliant race from Bell in
the last dozen strides. McAleer now
holds the club record, the last previous
record being 2 minutes 81 seconds. The
best time ever made at the champion
ship games of the Pacific Coast Athletic
association is 2:6 35 seconds, made by
Sutton in 1889.
RUNNING HIGH JUMP.
Paul Flammer, first, 4 feet TO- y inches;
E. w. Hopperstead, second, B. A. Ben
jamin, George Beebe, third.
The record made at this game was not
up to expectations. The athletes were
worn out by their previous exertions
and could not do themselves Justice. 1t
was very close between the men, Flam-
mer just beating Hopperstead in Jump
ing off the tie. The referee awarded
the third point in the event to Benjamin
for clearing the stick in betterstyle than
Beebe.
HALF MILE SAFETY BICYCLE RACE.
d. L. Burke, first, w. A. Tufts, sec
ond, R. G. Woodwork, third. Jake
Koen also contested; time, 1 :23.
E. A. Singleton, the pneumatic tired
man, did not compete. Burke won with
something to spare from Will Tufts. The
time made by Burke is now the coast
record.
440 YARD RACE.
G. V. Howard first, Thomas McAleer
second, H. A. Gerdes third; time, 55
seconds.
This was the last race on the pro-
gramme, and was we'll worth staying to
see. Howard came out victorious after
hard struggle with McAleer, the time,
55 seconds, being the best ever made in
this city. The best time ever made at
the championship games of the Pacific
Coast Athletic association is 81 As sec
onds, made by Cassady in 1890.
