leave until the last event had been con
cluded, late in the afternoon
| The program was u long one, but so

Georgetown during the coming season, es-
pecially Mott Haven, to which meet nearly
all the winners will be sent.
The events We're not without their sur
prises, and the success of several of the
new men was a source OF much mystifica-
tion to those interested in the athletic af
fairs of the varsity. Probably the greatest
surprise OF the day was the showing of
Cody, who won the hundred-yard dash in
a brilliant manner. This young sprinter
had never before run in a race. and. though
ne was allowed a handicap OF two ami a
half yards, he had no trouble in qualifying
for the race, and, in the finals, tie broke
the string fullya a yard ahead OF such speedy
men as Fox, Walsh and Owens, in 10 Id
seconds His victory was a Most popular
one, and il received more enthusia site ap-
plause than any during the afternoon.
The half mile run was as pretty an event
as one could desire, aud although it was
won by Lyons, the scratch man. young
Dessey ran a beautiful race, and his work
was heartily applauded. Dessey was at
one time almost a cripple, but under Trainer
Foiey's care he has recently developed into
one OF the most promising OF the younger
sprinters in the college.
Ib the hurdle race there occurred another
surprise in Daley's winning Che event by
half foot McAnerny was Thought To
have this race clinched, but he could get
no better than third place, Douglass,
another new man, coming IN second. Nc
Anerny was not in the best of trina, hut
that should not detract from Daley's well
earned victory.
A most popular victory was that of
Maloney, in the 220yard DASH which re
won very handily by over two yaids.
Maloaey is the clever little catcher OF the
bah team, and it was his first race. He
had only been training for a few days
and his work as something II a re, elation,
for il was not thought that he was lar
ticular,y speedy.
The mile event was Won by Nagle in
fine style. He had forty yards handicap
on McGirr, the scratch man, and at the Ind
of the race ne had increased that lead by
fully ten yards. McGiTr seemed 10 be
In poor form and he was plainly very tired
wien the second lap was completed.
Both the bicycle events were won by
Fred Schade, who had no trouble in pulling
away from the bunch whenever he at
tempted his famous sprints.
The meet was a big success from every
point of view, and the managers feel justly
proud OF their work.
