The athletes Of the class Of 's9, Of the
Central high school, captured the lions
share Of the events yesterday at the
fair grounds, where there was held the
seventh annual field day, the members
Of the '98 class winning second honors
in the matter of points.
The '99 men won seven hrsts. five
seconds and three thirds; the '98 men
captured four firsts, eight seconds, and
one third, while the '97 fellows had to
be satisfied with four firsts, one second
and five thirds. The freshmen brought
up the rear with one first, two seconds
and one third.
The weather yesterday was fairly
good, the strong wind, how
ever, preventing any very fast
time. The track was in ex-
cellent shape. 1t is much to be re-
gretted that in games Of this sort little
or no success is made Of keeping from
the track and judges stand a horde of
enthusiastic partisans who interfere
sadly with the view Of the races from
the grand stand, and as well ada
greatly to the risk Of accident. AS an
illustration, in one of the bicycle races
yesterday, a young fellow attempting
to cross the track was struck by
racer and thrown down with great
force. Luckily he escaped with slight
injuries. One lone mounted policeman
found the task of keeping the crowd
of spectators in its proper place an
exceedingly difficult one. The Inn
mense grand stand contained a. bevy
of charming girls, who shouted Justify
as their favorites and classmates came
in under the tape. winners. In several
of the events they were unable to see
the finishes owing to the thoughtless
crowd.
