becoming as cold as ice-water. Professor
Van Court kept up circulation of the
blood by shouting at Professor Meihliug
to keep the urchins off the fence. which
duty the far-famed exponent of catch-as-
catch-can neglected to great extent. much
TO the chagrin of Jack McGlynn, whose
duty 1t is to see that the fences are kept
clean.
Athlete Purcell adopted the Hibernian
knack of keeping his anatomy warm by
smashing his sides with the palms of his
hands. which scheme was successfully
carried out by George Green, who will ap-
ply for patent OH the latest fad in few
days. Bob Macarthur looked wise as
usual, but professed great surprise at not
having seen Captain Elliott enjoying the
first good fog bath of the season. Walker
Gaffney was satisfied that there was a
weather Jonah somewhere iG the club.
and Judging by the quiZZl al look be gave
Valkyrie Baird, the past grand master CT
pede estrianism, Olympians thought that
Mr.. Gaffney had hit the nail on the head.
The races were well contested. how
ever, and much credit is due the gentle
men who managed the track and field
eveD.s. as delays were very few indeed.
Two coast records were relegated to
back seat, viz. the half-mile run, which
min. 2h sec., aud the one-mile run. which
was reduced fri min. 40 As sec. to 4
min. 39B sec Both of the above records
were held by Robert Macarthur. who must
now take to the track again to keep his
name before the public as holder OF
records.
Koch of the Berkeley University. who
lowered the half-mile. is well-built man,
who has excellent staying qualities and
good Judgment in runnilQ.
Bert Coffin. who was beaten by Koch,
ran well, but displayed decidedly poor
Judgment by running on the outside Of
the college athlete during the greater part
of the race. He might have tied the WIN
ner had he trailed the latter until they en-
tered the homestretch.
Skillman, who few years ago ran some
splendid races in the East, was defeated
Yesterday by little Brown of the Stanford
University. Skillman took the lead and
held 1t until they passed the grand stand
on the last lap. when Brown shot to the
front and came home good winner.
