OF THE TROPHIES.
In the most perfect of October weather. with
the sun shining brightly from cloudless SKY
and tempering the slight chill In the air, more
than 5000 persons saw the Yale-Cambridge ath-
letic games at Manhattan Field yesterday after
noon and enjoyed them thoroughly. The uni
versity athletes represented America and Eng
land, and America is winning everything TINS
year nobody was surprised because the Yale men
won most of the games.
It was not such a triumph that at Manhat-
tan Field on that recent sultry day in September
when American athletes won all OF the eleven
contests against the picked men OF England but
the sons Of Eli were the victors In eight OF the
eleven contests yesterday and that was glory
enough in an intercollegiate struggle.
No more courteous treatment could have been
accorded to strangers than was received by the
Cambridge men. and when they won they were
applauded with hearty good will. There was no
sign Of unfairness or OF trickery In any OF the
games. and the arrangements for every trial or
speed and muscle were as perfect as could be
imagined.
THE FIELD IN FINE CONDITION.
Manhattan Field was never in better condi-
ton for athletic games The turf firm for
the race with fixed hurdles and the cinder track
had been rolled to such smoothness that it fairly
glistened in the sunshine. A large blackboard.
which could be swung about to announce the re-
suits of the contests to the people on all the
stands was in a convenient place. and a large
megaphone was handy also for announcements.
The competing athletes appeared to be in the
pink of physical condition, and there was no dis
parity In favor OF the Yale men In the eyes OF
the people who looked at them as they made
ready for the contests. 1t was not record-break-
ing weather but the conditions were favorable
for excellent work
The light blue OF Cambridge was conspicuous
in the bunting which was displayed on the
grounds. but the dark blue Of Yale was every
where to be observed in the crowds on the
stands A band of Yale students had come from
New-Haven to see the gsrf les, and every man OF
them wore his college coloss. There were many
Yale alumni present and fn0st OF them carried
dark blue flags In their h3nds and waved them
whenever there was occasion. Many young
women wore dark blue ribbons as breastknots or
decorations for their hats. A Flagstaff In the field
was used to make the first announcements or the
results, and every time there was Yale victory
the dark blue flag run up Then the dark
blue flags on the stand would futter wildly.
When the light blue flag was run up to announce
a win for Cambridge, the little Yale flags would
rest but the hands that had held them would be
clapped vigorously.
There would have been a larger crowd at Man
haitian Field yesterday had not Spectators
bought up so many tickets in advance and held
them a means Of extorting high prices for
seats A great many who went to Manhattan
Field refused to pay 81 or more for seat and
went to join the vast throng the viaduct to get
a distant view OF the games for nothing. Some
of the boxes on the grand stand were not occu-
pied A box had been reserved for Mayor Strong,
but he sent word ne could not be present. Will
lam C. Whitney had paid for box. but he was
not to be seen in 1t.
