AND Hamline Second-MacaIeS
Not in the Sports.
1t would seem that kind Providence
remembered yesterday as being the
time set apart for the decoration of the
graves of the nations dead. and decided
to make the day Of such brightness and
so full of the Joy of nature that the
great grief of people would be forgot
ten for the time and all the world re-
joice.
Never did the sun shine brighter than
yesterday, and never was the sky more
blue. Far above the earth a few fleecy
wreaths of vapor lowered In faint i'm
itatlon of clouds; but they served tobet-
ter cool the fiery darts from the sun
than to act as the repository for rain
drops. 1t was truly pleasant day. and
as the birds sang in the trees their every
note seemed to say: Beautiful day,
beautiful day, beautiful day."
Out on the prairieS which lie to the
westward of the city there could be
seen yesterday afternoon many persons
vending their way towards the grassy
park known as Kittsondale. Some were
mounted on bicycles, some rode in the
cars and a few walked. All were i'll
holiday spirits and attire, and their
faces Shone with the pleasure of antici-
patton. At the time the games were
called there was a crowd of about 800
present to witness the intercollegiate
struggle Tor the prizes offered to the
winners of the various games and sports
by Hdmline, Manchester and Carleton
colleges.
There was some delay in getting the
programme started, but after the pre-
llminarieS everything moved along
nicely. All OF the records were excel
lent, considering the inexperience of
the contestants, and the applause was
well directed and frequent.
The first event was the 100-yard dash,
in which there were six contestants,
two from each college. They were
Messrs. Tasker and Wallace. of Ham
Lire; Tieterna and KoonS, of Macales-
ter, and EXner and Baldwin, of Carrie
ton. There was some delay in getting
the men off through the refusal of
Starter &. l.. B. Withrow's revolver to
give the signal, but after the revolver
of a police officer had been called into
requisiti0n the start was soon made. 1t
resulted in the winning of the dash by
TaSker, of Hamline, who made it III
10 4-5 sec. Baldwin, of Carleton, was
second. The contest was very close
one.
The second event was mile run, and
there were five entries. They were A.
ID. Griffin and Hamilton, of Hamline;
Stanley. of Manchester, and Barney and
King, of Carleton. Griffin won the
yards. Barney took the second prize.
The time was 4 min 81 sec. Both of
the winners are freshmen, and their
classes introduced some awful yells
when Referee Elsiuger made his award.
The third event was 220-yard dash,
in which there were six entries: Wal
lace and L. E. Griffin, of Hamline;
Ewert and Dade. of Manchester, and
Baldwin and McChesney, of Carleton.
Baldwin won the contest in % 3-5 sec
ondS, although Wallace and Griffin
crowded him close. The latter two
were tie, the second place being de-
cided in favor of Griffin by the tossing
of coin.
Then came the pole vaulting, one of
the prettest events on the programme.
The contestants were Wheeler ana
Stocking, of Hamline, and Dunton and
EXner, of Carleton. The Manchester
boys did not show up for the contest.
The jumping was started at feet
inches. There was trouble in securing
CuG proper pOleS Oh Tile UdIS. dLu III WAS
found necessary to get along with
cumstanceS and appurtenances been
better it is not doubted that
better scores would have been
made by the jumpers. Stocking went
out of the contest after making feet
and inches. EXner made s feet and
inches. and he then retired. Wheeler
staid with Dunton until he had jumped
feet inches, after which he was un-
able to make the foot 10 inch Jump,
which was successfully made by Dun
ton. The latter was declared the win
ner, and Wheeler was given the prize
for second. After the conclusion of the
Jumping there were some changes made
in the measurement of the poles, reduc-
ing the height jumped one or two inches.
Putting the siXleen-pOund shot was
the next event, and the SightSeerS
climbed the various fences to gain the
tield in the rear of the judges stand.
There were five entries for this contest,
rasker and Griffin, OF Hamline; Koons,
of Manchester, and Tigen and Burton,
of Carleton. TaSker won easily by put
ting the shot 80 2-10 feet Griffin was
second with a record of 25 4-10 feet.
The running high jump was a lively
spectacle, and the contestants all did
clever work. The bar was placed at 4
feet inches. There were six contest
ants: L.. E. Griffin and Peck, of Ham
line; Gill and Vance, Of Manchester,
and Dunton and Tigen, of Carleton.
Gill went out at feet 4 inches, and
Tigen could not jump higher than feet
inches. Dunton stopped after jump
ing feet inches, and Peck cleared 4
! feet 10 inches. Griffin made pretty
| jump of 81 feet and was awarded first
| place. Peck was given second place.

about the half-mile race, and there were
six entries for it, two from each OF the
| three colleges represented: A. ID. Grif-
