 Fry's vietory in the opening event wa.
 greeted with shouts of applause by the
 natives present. but the Anl.ricans had an inning soon after. and they woke the echoes when Hickok tossed the ham
 mer to victory.
 cady started spiendidly in the hur-
 dlos, but fell earlier in the race than
 was at first reported. Hatch led up to
 the last hurdle, where Oakley shot past.
 Hildyard started on a pace making mis-
 sion for Grosnhow m the mile. but More
 land saw through the game and stuck
 to the first string. Greenhow left him
 at the half and won in q romp amid
 tremendous cheering from the British
 ers.
 Sheldon turned out for the jumps with
 platter on his knee. His perform
 anoes under the circumstances were highly crsditabls. Hatch was not at his
 best and failed to take or" with any
 succsss. The quarter mile was one of the star events of the day Jordan led
 for a furlong. when Sanford raced past and went for the top corner at sprintine speed. Jordan used his knowledge of fheerack to sdvantage and nursed him self to the .sryvtch and gradually wore down the Yale man. The winner was worn out and dropped Into c. N. Jack sons arms after crossing the line.
 When Sheldon made his big hit In the broad jump the Yale contingent. got to- gethsr and let of one of their historic "Hah-rah-rah" yells. The uninitiated spectators were badly scared at first, but soon grasped the situation and enjoyed 1t heartily.
 The nnish of the ss0-yard run, which gave the victory to Oxford, was signal ised by & scene of wild welcome. The Oxonians made a rush for Greenhow and carried him shoulder-high to the pavilion.
 The consensus of opinion among the experts was that the Yale men were in- sufficiently trained. Yale was strongly represented among the onlookers by c. W. Colgate. Russell Colgate, Sherman Hall. pr. Futile, c. v. Hopkins. L. Mo Kee. D. Mckee, G. N. Morgan, c. H. George. A. W. Ludke. R. T. Crane. R. Diokey and A. L. Moore. Oxford and Cambridge were also present in force, headed by W. E. Lutyens of Cam bridge, the famous mtler, who defeated Greonhow last MArch.
 The dinner rendered to the Americans after the games was rather late func- tion. owing to the delays at. the scene of the tournament. The chair was taken at o:15 by Sir Richard Webster He was supported b. the American ambassador, Thomas r. Bayard. Among the guests were w. p. Lutyens, the Cambridge champion, C. D. Fry, Astley, Guy and Vivian Nickalls, the famous scullers, c. H. sherriu and M. Van thgen. }r2t
 Expressions of regret sat being una- ble to attend were resolved from the Haharrajah of Cutch- Baher. the Earl of Londesboro Lord Chief Justice Rus- sell, W. K. Vanderbilt, George Gould and several other prominent American and English citizens. The queen and President Cleveland were toasted to an accompaniment of enthusiastic cheers, with the Yale yell as a ,climAx.
 Sir Richard Webster in proposing the health of the Yale men said he never saw finer body of athletes or team moro cordially welcomed. and he ex- pressed a hope that to-days tourna- ment is only the precursor of many such contests. w. }. IIickok re- sponded for the Yale team. Ex-Comlno- dore Greenfell toasted the Oxonians. c. B. Fry replied.
 Mr. Greenfell then threw some ora 'torical bouquets at Our American Cousins" and Ambassador Dayard paid him back in kind and said he felt proud to see the flags of the two great nations side by side and their sons pttted together in friendly combat. Such international journeys. he said, promoted union and should he encour- aged in every way as adjuncts to the welfare of humanity.
 After the first toast at the dinner Sir Richard Webster presented the medals to the winners. In giving Cap- tain Hickok medals Sir Richard said:
 "All the athletes of England are grateful to you for bringing over such B fine team"
 In toasting the Yale team Sir Richard said that if they had been successful the old country would not have be- grudged them all the honors, as Eng lishmen regarded them as of the same flesh and blood Such competitions aroused some of the best feelings of and bore good effects in the after life of every competitor. He did not doubt that he himself was remem- oered more gratefully at Cambridge be- cause he had won the one mile foot race than because he had taken a re- spectable degree. He felt convinced he would hear some time of the young men before him in the senate, or house of representatives or white house. Loud cheers)
 Sheldon of the Yale team proposed he health of the Oxonians. When he ,losed his speech the room was shaken with the Yale yell, which so delighted | he company that all called for g. repe- ition of it. The yell was given again with a will.
 Fry of Oxford in his reply said that | le had hardly expected -Oxford's suc- ;ess. He had never before contested vith such agreeable opponents,
