The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-11-25

has gait which greatly resembles that of
George. the great English crack. During
the first two circuits Of the track the
Olympic racers were in the lead, but alter
that Berkeley went to the from and held
1t only by nose to the finish. If some of
the Olympic men had not lost their heads
while crcling the track the result might
have been different. The mile was made
by the Berkeley team in 3 min. 81 80 sec.
The 1000-yard obstacerace produced
great amount of fun and laughter. The
trick of this event is to climb over fence,
crawl through barrels. jump into tanks of
water and walk rail fences All these
around the track. +. +. Foster of the
Olympic Club succeeded in scaling the
distractions first and Hunter second.
The two-mle bicycle handicap was an
other star feature of the occasion. Ten
promised to race, but only four were on
hand when the race was called off. G.
Taylor took the lead on the start and kept
the position throughout greater part of
the contest. George" Fuller. who rode
very foxy race. followed Taylor very
closely, but was careful to see that he
didn't run away. Taylor led away in the
stretch, and it looked az If he would beat
Fuller ou', which he would certainly have
done had not George" made a magnifi-
cent squirt and won by nose.
The field events are as a rule not so in
teresting and generally little or no atten-
ton is paid to them ard yesterday was no
exception to the rule. However, the
records made in the field events far ex-
celled those on the track.
Patterson broke the coast record in the
running nigh jump. making feet Tx
inches, while the coast record is feet 9h
inches.
Feldcamp made 21% feet on the running
jump, which is remarkable leap.
n &c InIi
hammer 116 feet 5 u inches, which smashes
the coast record ali 10 smithereens.
IT, q. Lewis. Olympic, vaulted 10 feet
inches, which pulveriZes the coast record.
THESE were ali wonderful feats, yet they
received scarcely any notice.
