H. Aud of Kamehameha.
! This was the most stubbornly fought
contest of the day. The Kamehameha
| boys made the best showing in the
| beginning. 1t was not long before
! Spencer went out, leaving but four
contestants in the field. On account
of his accident in the hurdle race En-
| Chang was not in very good form, and
| found considerable trouble in vault
! ing. At 7 feet 10 inches it looked very
much as if Chang would have to- drop
| out. He failed twice, but made a final
| effort in the third trial and went over.
| From this time on he kept up well
with his opponents. At 8 feet 6 inches
! Auld dropped out. and was followed by
Baker This left En- Chang and Dana
alone in the field. At feet Chang and
| Dana got over, but it could easily be
seen that their limit had been reached.
The bar was put to feet 8 inches, but
neither of the contestants could clear it.
| This made the result a tie
Later, En- Chang of PunahOu and
Dana of Kamehameha tossed up to see
which would be set down as the win
ner of the pole vault. En- Chang won
the toss and 31a points were given
