Fry comes up smiling and makes a
mighty effort and the crowd roars as he

The quarter-mile was called at $3.50
p. m. Sheldon's splendid jump had put
the Americans in good spirits, although
Hickok said: 1--WE have hard row to
hoe now. Losing the hurdle race lost
our chances" Off they go. Oxford lead
ing at the start. Then Sanford. Yale,
forges to the front amid the greatest ex-
element of the day. The last fifty
yards were run at terrific pace, and
Jordan was gamely and steadily getting
to the front, although Sanford spurts
and struggles gallantly. Jordan finally
heads Sanford and rushes through the
wing lines, falling into the arms of the
spectators, with Sanford second, amid
hurricanes Of applause.
OYfOrd then mad won fOur pVnntS tn
Yale's two. Brown, Yale, led off with
39 feet in the shot put, and Oxford re-
piled with 81 feet, which preceded
Hickok's Al feet AZ inches. oxford
could not manage to do better and put
the shot with an evident feeling of in
evitable defeat which was deeDened to
conviction when Hickok again COM
passed Al feet inches. Against this
Oxford struggled vainly though gamely
until Hickok gave the coup de grace
with put of Al feet u inches and the
event was Yale's. The high jump pro-
ceeded quietly; the enthusiasm was
wild, but it became universal as Sheldon
lightly compassed fine jump. Other
efforts follow, SCme successful and
others ending fiat on the grass. All
knocked the bar down at feet inches.
THE JUMPERS
then tried 1t again. when, upon Sheldon
clearing it, wild uproar broke out
from Yale and the partisans Of the
American team. Oxford followed and
Knocked the bar down. Cady placed
handkerchief in froIt for his feet and
cleared it again for Yale. SWanwick,
of Oxford, also cleared it. feat which
was received with much tumult by the
Oxonians. Sheldon jumped and failed,
and Capt. Hickok was seen to be rub
bing the Yale mans ankle.
Gardiner, of Oxford. them made a
failure. and he was followed in this by
Cady, of Yale.
Then Sheldon cleared feet 50
inches to the din of rival college cries.
Then Swanwick negotiated the same
jump successfully. which brought forth
renewed roaring applause from Oxford.
In ihe meantime Sheldon was rub
bing his knee, and soon afterwards
tries again and fails.
The crowd at this point took up what
they supposed to be the Yale cry and
began yelling: "Quack. quack, Yale"
Gardiner then tried again and failed,
and. SO did -Cady. Finally SWauwick
jumped once more and failed, and the
event was pronounced to oe a, tie and
the graud result was hardly doubtful
unless Yale could win the helf-mile
run, in which event the whole contest
would have been a tie.
At 1855 p. m. the pistol shot started
the men on the half-mile run, the re-

ROARS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
from Yale as her colors were carried to
the front in the first lap. Greenhow, of
Oxford. however, was running evidently
with much reserved strength, and he
pushed to the front, causing the OXon-
ianS to yell like madmen. Pond could
not down him, though Yale yelled
never so hard i'll her efforts to encourage
the New England runners. and Green
how came in ahead of Pond by six
inches in terrific finish, only to be
seized in the arms of yelling OXonlaus,
raised aloft and carried along the track.
After the finish poor Pond was conf
petely exhausted. and fell into the
arms of two friends, who fairly carried
him from the field, while few feet dis
tant the victorious Greenhow was being
borne along hOisteu to the shoulders of
the bowling crowd. The following is
