crew at Henley and the poor showing of
Yale last year at Oxford. 1t will be a
struggle to show Great Britain that in
the matter of sports, America is second
to nothing on the face of the earth. II
the hopes of the New York team are real
lied the victory will be most opportune.
for just now the Englisnmen are growing
in most distressing fashion to the
American mind. The Cornell boys were
sneered at; the Croker-Dwyer horses
laughed at and the Yale boys politely toll

III. sent home loser by Defender Amer
ica's sport lovers will have been vlndi-
Gated.
But at the present outlook Defender
will have an easier task than the one
which stares the athletes in the face.
They are going to meet the best team ever
sent out OF Eng land, and a comparison of
the respective records of the men who will
probably contest shows that If the New
Yorks win 1t will be by N narrow margin.
When the games were first arranged By
the London Athletic club it merely took
the form of an inter-club affair. But the
British sent out recruiting agents which
secured the amateur ranks of Great Brit
ain for the best men in the respective
classes. The New Yorks took the hint and
did the same, thus broadening the con-
tests, so that they will be really interna-
tional in scope.
The events to be decided are these:

visitors in all probability. F. s. Horan
of Trinity hall. Cambridge one of the
finest distance runners in the world, be-
ing the English representative. He has
run three milss IN less than 14:l5. f. G..
Carter will try to uphold the American
end, in this race. but his task is big
one. Three miles is not his favorite dis
tance. Four and half miles and over IS
more to his liking. There is chance
that better man than Carter may be
found for the race. for as it stands it is d
gift to the visitors.
The 12O yards, high hurdle race should
however, be gift for the New Workers.
Stephen or "Cy'' Chase, the long. Ianky
Vermonter, who has swept everything be-
fore him at his game, holding Godfrey
Shaw the Englishman, safe, if their rec
ords count for anything.
The running high jump is weak spot
in buth clubs. If the Xavier Athletic
club should release Mike Sweeney and al
low him to join the New Yorks it would
pc all over. A. r. Williams, the Eng
lish high jumper, cannot do better than
FIVE feet eight inches, while Sweeney
could be handicapped five inches and
then beat him. Should Sweeney fail to
enter it will fall to l.. p Sheldon, the
broad jumper, to do the high jumping.
Sheldon has done five feet eight and
three-quarter inches and is not much
hatter than Williams.
The herald., 1895-08-18

There is little hope of beating the Eng
lishmen in the 440 yard race. Il. G..
Bredip will be their standard bearer and
although he is 80 years of age he is in his
prime as runner. In 1893 he won forty
one races at distances from 900 to 1000
yards. A quarter of a mile is his .avorite
nearly six feet in height and trains down
to featherweight. Sands and LYONS,
the quarter men of the New Yorks, would
probably be lost by Bredin and an effort
will be made to get Merrill of Harvard,
who holds record OF 80 2-5, and could
give Bredin a race.
In the $50 yard race Bredin will also
represent the visitors, and Charlie Kill
patrick the New Yorks. The Englishm m ell
have as much chance of winning this
race as we have OF landing the quarter
mile. Fitzpatrick won the intercollegiate
and A. A. Y. championship, capturing
the latter in :55 AS. If Bredin beats
Fitzpatrick it will be big surprise.
In the one-mlle the visitors have a
strong man in w. +. Lutyens. He has
gone the distance in better than 4:20. 1t
is possible that L. 4. Bacon may represent
the Englishmen IN this race. A couple of
weeks ago he beat Lutyens in the re-
markable time of 4:17. These two men
form an almost invincible team. George
Jarvis and George Orton, the two New

Mr.. Bryant lost his arm and leg some
six years ago, giving them for the life OF

the time. He was then travelling with
an opera troupe in the old world, and a.
the time of the accident was at sydney,
Australia. While walking with the
young lady in question he was crossing

going one way and another in the oppo-
site direction. The young lady only saw
one of the engines, and he sprang to hold
her back, when he was caught by the
other and his right arm and leg taken
off. Up to that time he had not done
any whisting on the street, but had de-
voted his energies principally to making

figure that the Englishmen have first

practically conceded that the visitors will
