16.-A cold gusty wind was blowing all
the day. 1t was raining at intervals an d
the grounds appeared sodden and likely
to prevent fast time. The main pavilion
looked dismal as streams of rain water
marred its dark blue decoration and
drenched the American and English flags
which graced the structure. Those inter
ested in athletic sports felt decidedly blue.
Before noon, however, the rain ceased.
The general opinion seems to be that Yale
will win the majority of the events. The
members of both teams are reported to- be
in good condition. The officials selected
for today's games were: Referee ii. Beard
sail, President Northern Counties Assoc
iation.

bridge athlete; q. Herbert, secretary Lon
donl Amateur Association. Starter, Mr..
Wilkinson of Sheffield, ofiiciral starter OF
the Sheffield professional handicaps.
Timers-S. X. Holman and William
Barnard, London Athletic Club, and n.
