haitian Field to-day. Two weeks ago the
representatives or the London Athletic
Club were whitewashed by the New York
Club in a programmes which consisted OF
eleven events. Some Of the men who con-
tested in that Waterloo on the field were
In it to-day. The experts expected that
the Cambridge College men should win as
least five OF the events, but 1t was gen
orally conceded that the Yalensians had
the better end in the international strug-
gle. Captain Horan and his men were In
excellent condition to-day: but the best
they could do against the sons OF ELI was
TO win the quarter, half and one-mile
races The weather conditions were favor
able for a good days sport and the cool
afternoon was much pleasanter for the
visitors than the torrid heat Of two weeks
ago.
The track and inield were in excellent
condition to-day. but there was no fast
work done like that OF two weeks ago.
and the crowd which attended that meeting
double that OF to-day. When the
games began not more than seven thou
sand persons had passed through the
turnstyles. The clubhouse was decorate1
with American and British flags while tho
flags which marked the finishes were COM
posed of the colors OF the London and New
York Athletic Clubs. The yiaduct and
Dead Head hill accommodated fully five
thousand sightseers. 50 that altogether
there were about twelve thousand specta-
tors. The carriage inclosure was well
patronized. and Mr.. c. Oliver Iselin, OF De-
fender fame, had a party on tallyho.
He had his mascot, the famous yellow
dog, in the post of honor on the box seat.

yard dash. No time was lost by starter
Jordan in getting the men off, Richards
and Burnett were the Quickest away. and
the Englishmen we're unable TO overtake
them. Richards led all the way and won
by about twelve inches from Burnett, who
beat Levin about six feet. while Wnding
was very bad fourth. In the one-hundred-
and-twenty-yard hurdle on the cinder path
Cady and Hatch were pitted against Pix
ington and Fletcher. Cady and Hate
jumped to the lead. and the result was
never in doubt. Cady was more fortunate
to-day than on previous. occasions. as he
took his hurdles cleanly. and won from
Hatch by a yard. equaling his own record
of sixteen seconds. The high jump was
very tame exhibition compared with the
extraordinary feats of Sweeney.
AN EXCITING STRUGGLE.
The three-hundred-yard run was produc-
tive of an exciting struggle between Rich
ards and Levin. Byers led at the start.
but Richards soon overlook him. In the
stretch Fitzherbert challenged Richards.
and Levin ran up very fast toward the
finish. but Richards shook both of. and
won by about two feet Levin just nipped
Fitzherbert for second place. There were
only two runners in the half-mile contest,
Captain Horan, of the English team. and
