The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-10-07

speediest runner on the track for gpees distances
ana, had he entered less contests and put more
time on the grand event, the result might have
peen different In the two fifty-yard dashes be-
tween Bennett and Lee Willard the work of both
was excellent, but was won by Bennett with
about loot to spare on each occasion. Willard
was the better starter, but Bennett the better
man in the last fifty feet
AS usual the 100yard dash attracted much
attention and for convenience the list OF entries
was divided, making two races. The frst Ben
nett won by foot in 10 As seconds, with Lee
Willard second In IL seconds. The time was
very good considering that the wind was against
the runners Atkins had hard work In the second
up 10 within seventy-fye feet of the finish when
MS reserve power helped him to squirt and win
oy three feet. The mile race was slow for the
hrst half as Paul Smith set the pace and held
himself In reserve TO finish strong against his
overworked antagonists. Bennett made a squirt
at the hrst quarter OF the second half and gained
nifty yards which he held until the home stretch
when pain in his side made him slow down
ana give smith the lead Smith was an easy
winner In 5:2225, with Bennett second in 5:24 2-a
vi ali the contests none were more evenly con-
tested than the pole-vaulting, and the work of
atkins, IL. M. Shipley, T. NJ Shipley and Z. C.
Sharpe was really fine. Atkins fairly outdid
himself or H. NJ shipley would have won The
hlgh-kieking contest brought forth two contest
ants in the persons of H. NJ. Shipley and W. L.
foison. General opinion named Poison the
winner on account OF his length, but once again
opinion was wrong and shipley won by a fine
exhibition OF high jumping and good kicking.
In the younger members who took part the
association has some good talent and m ay ex-
pect good work from them at the next annual
r. A. Fredericks, especially, gives great promise
OF becoming a fast Splinter and p. I. Gilbert
may develop into fine jumper. Howard OAR
hngton won the ball throwing contest with q
record of log yards and inches.
G. B. Kittinger, r. l. Lillico and E. B. Down
Ing acted as timekeepers, DR.. c. A. Smith and o.
b. Rawson as judges and Z. Coke Hill as
starter. The entire programme of sports was
under the personal supervision OF Professor
Lippy.
