yesterday afternoon. Though many stars ap-
peared TO contest for the handsome prizes.
there were many absentees. and the fields.
though high class. were small in nearly every
event. The competition was spirited however.
and the performances throughout were first
class.

by triple win both hurdle races and the
broad jump were captured by the big Unl-
versity of Pennsylvania man. In tho high

race between J. J. Peters and W. NJ. Flncke
OF Yale in the 12O-yard hurdle race.

from the scratch mark. in order to settle tho
question Of supremacy. Peters finished Sec
