The Athletic Meet.

The Athletic Meet.
| The fourth semi. annual athletic meet OF
the Randolph High school At the Man
chester park Saturday afternoon was wei!
attended, and the events were fairly, and
some even holly, contested. y
The post graduates secured SO points,
| the Juniors SO, the seniors "a, the sopho-
mores IS and the freshmen 16. There was
considerable class rivalry, and the compe-
| tition was close, so much SO indeed as to
promise an even closer contest next year.
The sandy track and stiff wind, which
blew all the afternoon, accounted for the
slow time made in some events, more par
ticularly in the bicycle races which were
quite a little slower than at the former
meets
Three records were broken. Newton
made the mile run in 505, his previous
record being 5.36. In the pole vault, F.
G.. Grain outdid p. w. Connolly's record
OF feet / inch by just an inch, and H. F..
Moulton, in the running high. jump,
cleared the bar at feet inch, breaking
Newton's record Of feet IL inches.
Much interest was manifested in the BIZ
cycle races, each OF which was won by a
different contestant. But for slight lead
obtained by the seniors in the third quar-
ter of mile, the relay or class race would
have been the most exciting event OF the
day, as 1t was, it caused great deal OF In.
