NEW YORK, October 5.-The last In
ternational event OF importance In the
year 1895 was decided to-day at Manhat-
tan Field. when the sons of Ola 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 of Cambridge In eight
OF the eleven events decided.
Eight thousand people paid for admis-
sion to the Manhattan Field. and fully
es many more availed themselves OF the
places OK vantage overlooking the neld.

cant seats when the game commenced
but the second stand and the cheaper
seats in the bleacheries did not I'LL
nearly as well as on the occasion or the
London Athletic Club and New York Ath-
letic club match Of September 2lst. Still,
there was a large and very fashionable
attendance.
IL was a beautiful day. If trihe cool
from the athletic standpoint-just such
weather as the visitors are accustomed
TO experience across the sea.
The arrangements inside the grounds
were excellent. and noticeable inn
proyement over other athletic meetings
was the absence of the usual horde OF
useless officials. The track and inheld
were in splendid condition.
