Our English cousins are n trife behind the

annual Oxford Cambridge athletic meeting c.
B. Fry. wearing tho blue Of Oxford. won the
long jump with % feet inches. and this has
been hailed as the worlds record jump It
looks as II the Englishmen intended to ignore
Rebers great performance. for Land and
Wafer says that Frys jump is likely to stand
for many long day. and puts in the shade all
the old bogus performances OF Yankee Ero-
amateurs and o!d-time down-hill tumblers."
The annual meeting Of the English Amateur
Athletic Association was held April and
showed the organization to be in n healthy
financial condition. The total receipts OF the
year amounted to f64n. The auditors esti-
mated the assets OF tho association for the
year at FL .OS5. 1t was decided to invest fur
Their sum at the discretion OF the trustees in

CAMRR1psE, April 2o-The athletic interest
Of Harvard this week has centred in base
ball and rowing. With five games played by
the varsity team In one week and all the class
crews putting In their !" first licks" before the
great contest on the Charles River next Mon
day afternoon. this consolidation Of athletic
tntorest is not strange.
The Harvard baseball team have shown con-
siderable improvement in batting. The games
with Dartmouth proved that even Cook. who
has so often blinked harmlessly at the ball as
It passed by. is getting to slug the sphere with
sarnestnesa. Highlands. too. seems to be
calming down q bit in pitching. The men
have been practising batting with Highlands
on days when no regular game was scheduled.
thus getting themselves into practice to hit
Young OF Princeton. whose style. Keeie says,
IL very similar to that of Highlands. The
teams work next week will be the most i'm
