Nrw RECORDS.
The time-2l 3-5 seconds-makes new
hgures for the worlds record, which up
to to-day stood at 2l:i-5 seconds
The Londoner's best effort I'm the shot
was within several feet OF the y. Y. A.
c. second strings put and i'm this as in
tho hammer, Green and Gold were fairly
outclased.
The hurdle race promised a most exclt-
ing contest, and next TO the hundred
yards run, was looked upon as the closest
event of the lot. with shade OF odds
In favor OF Gofrey Shaw, the English
captain. 1T was also thought that the
race would settle the point as TO whether
the English system of fixed hurdles on
grass or the American hurdles on cinder
was the fastest. as both Shaw and Chase
are champions at the respective methods.
Chase knocked over his first hurdle.

Cady fell az the third stick and quit
At the eighth hurdle Shaw was almost
level with the. American champion, but
could not hold him. and Chase cleared the
last obstacle hurdle better tha Shaw

The 40 Yards run came near developing
the sensation Of the day. This was an
other of the doubtful events. IN which

the English championship this year.

about six yards. Sands having dropped
out about fifty yards from the finish.
LONDON DID not COME Up.
The broad jump was another instance
where the London string did not come
up 10 their home form. oakley has
frequently done twenty-five feet tel
inches and better, while Mendelsohn is
capable Of doing better than nineteen feet

However twenty-five feet six inches
by Bloss and twenty-one feet one incl
by Sheldon was TOO good for either OF
the visitors.

passed him. The light-blue president
dropped out Of the running. and VIII

chance of getting on terms with Conner
