COLLEGE RACE. COMMENTS

The 2-mile handicap race at the Conven-

comers, was won by "Chfc' Cassin, Sites
second, and Morris. third. Hewes obtained
fourth place, while Frear fell before the
end Of the race The time Of the race was
6:S5A.
Morris and Sites were tho scratch men
Cassin. Hewes and Frear being given a laI
and a half handicap. Hewes skated on or
binary hockey skates. Sites started of
strong. and soon had half q lap on the th-ee
men in front Of him. Hewes was goins
slowly, Frear had dropped out. Morris had
been left quite q distance, but Cassin as
keeping up we'll. About the fourteenth lap
however. he Jagged a trifle, and Sites took
a fresh attempt to cut down the handicap
but he did not squirt until the eighteenth
lap, and was unable to catch the flying boy
Cassin winning by about two feet.
This is the first race young Cassin has
started in, and his work shows that he has
a future before him in this line OF sport
At no time did he slow down except at one
corner on the fourteenth lap, and it was
plainly seen that he was not in the best OF
condition. Sites has not been training, and
race, of course, does not detract from the
champions standing. and he still holds q
large share Of the admiration Of those who
attend the rink. Morris had not skated
since the two-mile event In the champion
ship series, and so was not ht to enter. Yet
the race was exciting and hotly contested
and was witnessed by large gathering,
which gave hearty encouragement to the
fleet men on the ice.
