AN EXCITING FIELD DAY.

l. Yale Developing a Strong Mott Ha- ven Team-An Exciting Bicycle Race-A Yale Man Paints In the Mile Walk-Wright Defeated in the Half. Mile Race. ,+r- 7!'- <, 4,.'.
 The Harvard men would swear by the beard of Trainer Jim Moulthrop, if he had one. "Jeems" said that his team would win, whether they began at 2 o'clock or at half past three. But they had to hus- l tie to do it. The weather was too cold for | any record breaking, but it was not too cold to congeal the enthusiasm of the spec tators. The events were all full of interest and surprises, and in several instances fa- vorites were not winners. The points were scored in this way: For first place five points were given, for the second two points, for the third one point. The outlook for victory for Yale in the early part of the afternoon seemed very bright, but when the 220 yards hurdle race was lost to the enemy, and the half-mile race also Harvard's success was assured. Still Yale did very we'll and made 51 points to Harvard's 61, only needing six more points to win. The attendance was not very large, but comparatively large delegation of Harvard men were there.
 Almost as soon as the hands of the clock on the grand stand at the Yale field yes- terday afternoon showed that the time was half past three pistol shot started offathe first heat of the first event of the afternoon the hundred yards dash in the Yale-Har- yard athletic content. Almost simultaneous ly w. L. Thompson, '93 H.; W. H. Glenny, '94 s., Y.; o. K. Hawes, '92, H.; W. Swayne, jr, '95, Y.; J. s. Cook, '92, H., were tearing like mad down the track, Young Swayne, '95, in the lead with o. K. Hayes, Harvard, second. They ended in this order in 10 2-5 seconds. The second heat was run with the following entries: | A. H. Jones, 93, Y.; A. Pond, jr., '95, Y.; and E. w. Allen, '94 S., Y. Allen won in the same time that Swayne made and Brown l came in second. The first and second men in each heat contested in the final. Swayne led, Allen came in second and Brown third. Seven points for Yale and one for Harvard.
 The entries for the 12O-yard hurdle | were for the first heat: J. H. Hammond l Lyman '94, Y.; for the second, G. R. Fear ing, jr., '93 H.; NJ. S. Hart '94 S., Y, and M. Van1ngen '95, S., Y. Lyman took it easy and let Shead come in first. The sec- ond heat was close. Fearing had a l quicker start, but VanIngen presssd him close. Both men were wildly cheered as they passed the grand stand neck and neck, but Fearing got in first. The time | of the first heat was IF 4-5 seconds, of the second 16 4-5. In the final Lyman came in first, but the Harvard men shut out VanIngen.
 The next event, the two mile bicycle race, was the most exciting in the series. J. w. Allen '93, Y; F. s. Elliott '95, H.; G. R. Brewster '94 S., Y., and P. w. Davis '93, H., started off in the first heat
 For sixteenth of mile they almost crept

 and @ half; then Davis spurted for the
 lead with Brewster pressing him close
 When they came in the stretch Allen col

 wheels were thrown to the ground, and
 Brewster and Davis easily rode in and
 finished. The referee decided that Aller
 had fouled and permitted Elliott to enter
 the finals in 7 minutes, 7 2-5 seconds.
