appesred the band struck up "Hall CO.
lumbia," which was greeted with loud
applause on all sides.
When the pistol was fred there was a
roar Of applause, and in a second or two
it was seen that Fry, the Oxford man,
had the lead. While 1t was in progress,
Captain HlckOk advanced 20 make his
mighty throw.
The hammer contest proceeded unin-
telligibly TO the vast majority or those
preseut. for the spectators were still Ia
tent upon the lOO-yard dash. Applause
is heard here aud there, but IL is by no
means epidemic, for the spirit OF the
affair seems as dull as the weat her.
Suddenly there Is roar OF applause as
Hicklk'S hammer whirls by the Oxford
mark. Then Robertson turns five
times and shoots the hammer for his
last throw. The judges seem 10 take
an age in deciding upon the winner,
but eventually up goes the American
flag, and the band strikes up Yankee
Doodle"
The men are now out for the second
event, the hammer order being chang
ed.
Yale shouts regular catch for Yale
aud Oystsnder replied, raging: shut
up. you idiots"
Hlckok received a special ovation as
he left the pavilion. While the hammer
throwing proceeds Pond and Sanford
struggle bravely with Fry and Jordan,
but the latter were not TO be headed and
Fry won amid great cheers from the
Oxonians and English, and Yale, de-
feated, walked quietly to quarters.
YALE GOT THE BEST OF THE START
in the hurdle race snd led to the third
hurdle, but then Oxford rushed up even
and all went over the fourth hurdle to-
gether. When Cady fell, however, IL
was apparent that Oxford would win.
The mile race was ready aJ $3.50 p. m.
Hldyard, OF oxford, took the lead,
which be dropped after the first lap and
eventually gave up.
Long before the finish ii was evidenl
that Yale was not OXford's equal.
GreenhOw, OF Oxford, who was running
third until the end OF the second lap,
went 10 the front at a terrific pace and
gradually increased the lead until the
gap was much too big ever TO be closed
and he rushed home amid q tremendous
din.
In the running broad jump Oakley, Of
Oxford, led of, clearing % feet 4 inch.
Sheldon sent Yale'S spirits up with a
Jump OF 20 feet II inches. Fry
landed with % feet q inch. Sheldon
scored % feet / 1 inches. Finally Shell
don cleared % feet II inches and won.
The qusrter.mlle was called at $50 p.
~, Oxford leading at the start, then
Sanford Yale forges to the front amid
the greatest excitement Of the day.
Sanford spurted and struggled gallant

tle winning lines, falling into the arms
Of the spectators with Sanford second
amid hurricanes OF applause.
OXFORD THEN HAD WON FOUR
events to Yale's two. Brown, (Yalel,
led off with 80 feet in the shot put, and
Oxford replied with 81 feet, which pre-
ceded HiCkok's Al feet y inches. OK
ford could not manage TO do better and
put the shot with an evident feeling Of
inevitable defeat, which was deepened
10 conviction when Hickok again cOm-
passed Al feet > inches. Against this
oxford struggled vainly, though game
ly. until Hickok gave the Coup D'Grdce
with a put Of Al feet n inches, aud
the event was Yale's.
The high jump proceeded quickly.
All knocked the bar down at feet
inches. The jumpers then tried it
again, when Sheldon cleared 5 feet S$t
inches. Then Swanwlck negotiated the
same jump successfully, which brought
forth renewed roaring applause from
Oxford
The event was pronounced to be tie,
and the grand result was hardly doubt
ful unless Yale could win the half mile
run, in which event the whole contest
would have been tie.
At 7;55 p. N. the pistol shot started
the men on the half-mile run. Green
how came 10 ahead Of Pond by six
inches in a terrific finish. only to be
seized in the arms OF yelling OxonianS,
raised alOft and carried along the track.
after the finish poor Posd was COM
pletely exhausted.
