The morning times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1897, 1895-10-06

1895 was decided today at Manhattan
Field, when the SONS OF Old Ell triumphed
over the crack athletes from the English
varsity on the banks of the Cam, and the
blue of Yale was placed above the light
blue banner of Cambridge in eight of the
eleven events decided.
The long list of victories-on land and
water. which were placed to the credit
of the stars and stripes as against the
British lion. and which made the year au
eventful one in the annals of American
sport, were fittingly concluded by the
establishment of the supremacy OF tho
champion American college over the pre-
mIer athletic varsity.
Between 5000 and 5000 persons paid
for admission to Manhattan Field, and fully
Us many more awaited themselves of the
places of vantage overlooking the field.
The track and iDfield were in splendid
condition. There was quite q buzz OF
excitement when the Cantab pair, E. II.
Wilding and Il. Ii. Levin, came out for the
cirst event-the 1OO-yards dash, which
developed into a round of applause when
Billy Richards and Burnett followed in their
dark blue jerseys with a big white Y on
1he breast.
Conner Williams was to have been the
Cantabs' first string in the short sprint
but he was not well enough to start, and
Wilding was substituted.
FIRST EVENT YALE'S.
fhestart was down out OF sight ofthepEass
stand, but when they came in view at
fifty yards, it was readily seen that the
first event was Yale's. Richards and Bur
nett led the light blues to the tape, which
Richards broke yard in front of levin.
Wilding was beaten off.
Taking time as standard E. II. Cady
had the foot of the Cantabs in the hurdle
movable hurdles and for once form was not
amiss.
at the fourth hurdle Cady had a slight
lead of Pilkington, which he increased at
Me eighth, where Hatch also passed the
light blue. Cady jumped better than he
ever did before and beat Hatch by about
four feet. The Cambridge crack finished
a yard and q half behind the winner and
knocked down three hurdles on the journey.
FitZherbert, the English quarter mile.
champion, was thought to have very good
chance in the 300-yard dash, but the long
striding Briton was practically never in the
contest and Billy Richards landed the third
straight victory for Yale, beating the Cantabs
econd string, levin, by four feet. Fitz-
herbert was third, a yard behind Levin.
There was only one man in the half mile
Seymour Horan, the Cambridge president,
who made all the running, and " on by eighty
yards from the Yale representative, Crane.
The half mile and mile were virtually
conceded to the light blues, as Yale had no
one class enough for either Horanor Lutycns.
The latter cut the pace in the mile to suit
himself and the time, 4:35 3-5, was prob
ably the slowest the crack Varsity miller
has done for long time. Lutyens was the
greatest niler tIrp.d ont of tbp Enpligl
'varsities.
SUPERIOR TO THE CHOICE.
The Cambridge second string, Levin,
again proved superior to the choice, FitZ-
herbert, in the quarter mile run, and was
also too good for the Yale pair, Richards
and Wade, though If the former had timed
his effort better he might have won.
This was the third and last event to the
credit of the light blues
In the high hurdles, English style, with
fixed hurdles on the turf, Hatch turned
the tables on Cady and won by six feet
from Fletcher, the Cantab's second string,
who was yard in front of Cady. Pix
ington tipped his fifth hurdle and gave
up the contest.
