Englishmen had to yield to the better
bune and muscle of Americans in the
Manhattan field day. Two weeks ago the
represe ntatives of the London Athletic
club were whitewashsd by the New York
athletic club, in programme which con-
sisted of eleven events. Some of the m en-
who contested in that Waterloo were on
the field today. The experts expected
that the Cambridge college men would
win at least one event. but it was gener-
ally conceded that Yale had the better
end in tho International struggle. Cap
tain Horan and his men were in excel
lent condition today. but the best they
could do against the sons of Eli was to
win the quarter. half, and one mile races.
