Vermont Academy Field Day.

The ninth annual field dav of Vermont
Academy occurred on Monday afternoon
All things considered it was a success al
though the records were very poor. A
number of men who may be expected to
make the team to compete at Hanover were
obliged to stay out from the events and
this made the competition little less in
teresting than it otherwise would have been.
The star work of the day was done by Dan
Campbell of Bellows Falls, who took first
place in every run, thereby winning the
TINES medal which is given every year to
the athlete securing the greatest number of
points. Washbum also did good work,
breaking the school record in the shot put
as did Eastman in the pole vault. As a re-
suit of the field day the senior class holds
the championship of the school and is the
possessor of the class cup for this year. To
celebrate their victory they had parade
with tin horns, drums, flies, ETC., in the
evening roundly cheering their athletes who
had won such laurels for them in the after
noon. The summary of events is as fol-

Saturday afternoon the most uninterest-
ing game of the season was played between
the academy team and the Springfield town
team resulting in victory for V. A. by a
score of 2S-6. The Springfield team were
not in it from the start and soon lost heart
and it became doubtful only as to how
great score the academy would win by.

well in the outfield, while Gilbert and Rich
