1t blew half a gale OF wind, and the dust
floated in clouds up and down the cinder
track. but the enthusiasm of the athletes
was in no wise abated.
The youngsters who had come along with
their big brothers to shout for their respec-
tive alma matters acquitted themselves in a
highly satisfactory manner, and one small
individual with a gray military suit and a
tin horn footed himself into such a state of
excitement that he inadvertently tumbled
through a hole in the grand stand in his err
thusiasm for the 0. ii. s.
Considering the adverse winds that made
it necessary for the runners to tack right
and left in their course. there was some
very good time made.
