box whcru tho American ambassador and q number of prominent Englishmcn were gathered the Englishmcn made poinS of their hands when q Yale man was successful. and MT. Bayard was equal ly carOful to applaud the successes of the Oxford mcn, but cycrywhcrc elso the most intense jealousy was manifested
 In front of what was known as fale's pavilion, which was supposed to be re- served for Americans. n crowd of we'll dressed men and women gathered, and when tho littss knot of Yale men gave tho college cheer many of these people would turn round and make insulting remarkS.
 Scene at the Finish
 They call themselves gentlemen" scornfully remarked n lady in the Amer ican party, and when Ealo won some events and her partisans were rejoicing hurly Britishcr yelled, "Remcmbcr that the Britannia beat the Nigilant six times" None of these remarks was madc good naturcdIy but with tho most intense pas sion. The scene at the end expressed tho whole feeling.

Messrs- Hickok or the Yale team and Fry of the OxfOrds were interviewed by your correspondent after the games. Fry was very happy. Ho said the Oxford team was delighted with tho Yale athletes. He though the Americans had not done their hest and certainly were not up to the record This was because they wero overtraincd. while the Oxford men had not reached their form because they wcrc undertraincd-
 All the members of his team were sur priscd at Hickok's work with the hammer and weight Hcregrcttcd that the wealth CT conditions were not better and thought that if the track had been dry sheldon would have cleared 2i feet in the running broad jump.
 He said further that. although it was difficult to induce the Oxford men to train in the summer time. he was determined If possible to get Oxford to agrec to a re- turn match with Yale in 1895. He hoped that the athletes of the two universities could meet annually.
 BIckok Disappointed
 Hickok said he was bitterly disappOint- ed-not so much because the Yale team wero beaten as because the men did not do as well as they did in the trials ''I have thrown the hammer he said, over fe5 feet, but today could not exceed no feet However, there Is no use in looking for reasons. They got therc first, and we wcre beaten. They arc n splendid lot of fellows. and thcrc Is nothing to regret but tho result"
