and last event of the day, the interest,"

I=waned.
NEW WORKERS WON EVERY EVENT
OF the eleven events on the programme
-nly three were looked upon in the lighi
OF certainties for the Americans, viz:
the high jump, shot, and hammer. The
half mile and mile were regarded q
pretty good things for the home club, but
by no means certainties, while the other
events were considered to be very open.
That the Mercury Foot would capture al
the eleven off the reel was certainly not
even hinted at. The half-mile run was
the first act in what was to be a tragedy
for the wearers of the green and gold.
| Carley fitzpatrick, the American champion
over the distance, and Harvey Lyons
| were the pair selected to carry the New
| York A. 6. and American coiors, while
| F. s. Horan and c. H. Levin sported the
green and gold. -

Lyons business in the race was done
| after the first quarter, as he started to
make the pace a hot one for Kilpatrick,
who is a trifIe slow in getting into his
stride. When Lyons dropped back Kill
patrick went to the front. followed by
Levin and Horan. Levin quit entering
the back stretch. Horan went in the
chase of the American champion, but not
withstandng his pIucky effort, could not
get within less than six yards OF the Union
College flyer at the finish, and the first

minute 54 2-5 seconds, made by Cross OF
Oxford University, in 1883, had been beaten
by full second.
Then came the hundred yard dash. andff
there was any one event that was deemed
a sure thing by the visitors it " as the sprint
ing dash, but wefers was in prime form and
moved over the path like a deer. Crum
evidently was not in top condition.
wEFER WINS IN RECORD TINE.
Wefers was quickest away in this event
and at twenty-five yards had lead OF

In front of Grum with Stevenson last At
80 yards wefers began to draw away and
