The bell was rung promptly at 4:30
p. NJ. Tor the competitors in the 103-yard
dash. The moment the Yale men APP
peared the band struck up Hail Coluni-
bian which was greeted with applause.
When tho pistol was fired there was a
roar of applause, and in second 1t was
seen that Fry OF oxford had The lead.
While it was still in progress Captain
Hickok advanced to make his mighty
throw. The hammer contest proceeded
unintelligibly 10 the vast majority OF
those present, for the spectators were still
intent upon the lG0-yard dash. The ap-
plause was heard here and there, but 1t
was by no means epidemic, for the spirit
OF the affair seems as dull as the weather.
Suddenly there is roar of applause as
Hickock's hammer whirled beyond the
Oxford mark Then Robertson turned
the five times and shot the hammer for
his last throw. The measurers seemed to
take an age in deciding upon the winner,
but eventually up went the American
flag and the band strikes up "Yankee
Doodle.p
The men then went out for the second
event, the hammer order being changed.
Yale shouted, "A regular catch Tor Yale, -
and by-stander replied, raging: shut
up, you idiots.o Hickok received u
special ovation as he left the pavilion.
While the hammer throwing proceeded,
Pond and Sanford struggled bravery
with Fry and Jordan, but the latter were
not to headed, and Fry won amid great
cheers from the OXonians and English,
and Yale, defeated, walked quietly to
quarters.
The hurdle race was on the far side of
the course, and previous to the event
being called most of the. Yale contestants
INDUCED in few preliminary jumps, as
ii introducing themselves 10 the English
hurdles. Yale got the best of the start,
and led up to the third hurdle, but then
Oxford rushed up even, and all went
over the fourth hurdle together. When
Cady fell, however, it was apparent that
Oxford would win.
The mile race was ready at $50 P. n
The pistol sent them Oft with splendid
start, Hildyard OF Oxford taking the lead.
which he dropped alter the first lap and
eventually gave up. Long before the
finish it was evident that Yale was not
Oxford's equal. Greenhowe of Oxford,
who was running third until the end OF
the third lap, Went to the front at ter
rife pace, and gradually increased the
lead until the gap was much too big ever
to be closed, and he rushed home amid a
tremendous din.
The running broad jump followed.
Oakley of Oxford led off, clearing - feet
inch. Hatch OF Yale balked and fell.
Fry then rushed at it and slipped, but
Sheldon sent Iale's spirits up with a
jump of u feet II inches. TheH Oakley
and Hatch followed, but the latter baked,
half returned. went again and made an
unrecorded jump. But poor Fry came
up smiling aud made mighty effort, and
the crowd roared when he landed. The
The Obs were repeated with cheers as
the marker gave him % feet inch. Shell
don followed and scored u feet Ii inches.
All looked dark blue for Oxford. Hatch
went on again, made a half start, re-
turned, ran and jumped, but fell behind.
Fry followed with jump of q feet 8
inches, and Sheldon finished, again
Jumping Il feet 81 inches by plumping
down where his heels touched, while the
crowd laughed. Finally Sheldon cleared
y feet IL inches and won, Fry second, y
feet inch. Oakley (OXfordl was third,
q feet inch.
The half-mile was called at 6:18. Shell
don's splendid jump had put the Ameri-
cans in good spirit. OFT they went, OK
ford leading at the start. Then Sanford
of Yale worked to the front amid the
greatest excitement OF the day. The last
fifty yards we're run at terrific pace and
Jordan was getting to the front, although
Sanford spurted and struggled gallantiy.
Jordan finally headed Sanford and
rushed through the winning lines. falling
in the arms OF spectators, with Sanford
second, amid hurricanes Of applause.
oxford then had won four events to
Yale's two.
Brown of Yale led off with 80 feet in
the shot put and Oxford replied with 81
feet, which preceded HIckok's IL feet IL
inches. Oxford could not manage ~to do
better and put the shot with an evident
feeling OF defeat, which was deepened to
conviction when Hickok again COM
passed I'll feet inches. Against this Ok
ford struggled vainly, though gamely,
until Hickok gave the coup de grace
with put of Ill 1eet 7l inches, aud the
event was 1ale's.
The high jump proceeded quietly. The
enthusiasm was wild, but it became uni
yersal as Sheldon lightly compassed q
tilo jump.
Other efforts followed, some successful
and others falling flat on tie grass. All
knocked the bar down at feet Z inches.
1he jumpers then tried it again, when
upon Sheldon clearing it wild uproar
broke out from Yale and from the parti-
zans OF the American men. Oxford fol-
lowed and Knocked the bar down. Cady
placed handkerchief in front OF his feet
and cleared it again for Yale. Swanwick
OF Oxford also cleared it. a feat which was
received with much tumult by the Ok
fords. Sheldon jumped and failed. and
Captain Hickok was seen to be rubbing
the \ ale mans ankle. Gardner of Ok
ford then made failure, and he was fol-
lowed in this by Cady of Yale. Then
Shedon cleared feet 81 inches, amid the
din OF rival college cries. Then Swan
wick negotiated the same jump, which
brought forth renewed roaring applause
from Oxford.
In the meanwhile Sheldon was rubbing
his knee, and soon atterward tried again
and failed. The crowd at this point took
up what they supposed to be Yale's cry,
and began yelling, .'Quack, quaclx, Yale,'
Gardner then tried again and failed, aud
so did Cady. Finally Swanwick jumped
once more and failed, and the event was
pronounced to be tie. and the grand re-
suit was hardly doubtful, unless Yale
could win the half-mile run, in which
event the whole contest would have been
a tie.
At T:3o the pistol started the men on the
halt-inile run, the report echoing over The
grounGs, and losing itself in roars of en-
couragement from Yale, as her colors
were Carried 20 the front in the first lap.
Greenhowe of Oxford. however, was run
ming with much reserved strength, and
he Pushed TO the front, causing Oxfords

down him, though Yale yelled never so
hard in her effort to encourage the New
England runners, and Greenhowe came
IN ahead of Pond by six inches in a
