interest from many of the meets. The
annual intercollegiate meet, known as
the Mott Haven games from the fact of
its being held at Mott Haven, near New
York, was easily won by Pennsylvania.
Princeton was second, Harvard third
and Yale fourth. Eight records were
broken. 1t is more than likely that
Harvard and Yale will abandon these
games in future in favor of dual meet
The individual all round championship
was contested as usual at the New Jer-
sey Athletic club grounds at Bayonne,
N. j. There were only four aspirants
for the honors, which were carried OFF
by E. c. White of Cornell under the n.
j. A. C. colors, with 5,243 points. His
nearest rival was R. ]. Sheridan, the
brawny representative of the Pastime
Athletic club of New York, who scored
1872 points.
The A. A. u spring championships,
held at New Orleans, were bonanza
for the four northern athletes wearing
the Mercury foot of the N. Y. A. c. who
were present. They carried off every
event they entered, winning eight
championships. The winged footers
again scored decisively at the eleventh
annual national A. A. U. championships
at Chicago winning ten events. A. c.
Kraenzlein of tahe Chicago A. G, was
the individual hero Of the occasion,
capturing both hurdle races and scor-
ing in both the broad and high jumps.
The N Y. A c. won So points, the G.
| A. A. 81.
The % mile Marathon race" of the
| Boston A. A, which has become one of
| the great events of the season, was
won on April 10 by r. J. Mcdonald, of
| the Cambridgeport Gymnasium Asso-
| citation in the record time of hours
and 40 minutes. A. L. Wright, of
| Brown University, won the national
cross country championship on No
vember "a. The national interseholas-
tic athletic championship was won by
| the Berkeley school team of New York
| on June IL.
The feature Of the turf season was
| the phenomenal showing made by Tod
| Sloane, an American jockey, in Eng
! land. He won more than $4,000 for
his owners and piloted A horses first
under the wire. In spite of Star
| Pointers effort to break the pacing
| record of 1854 the mark still stands,
| his best effort being 1894. Joe Pat
| chen made a new worlds record for
| trotters of 2:02 with an amateur
| driver, and beat John R. Gentry in a
| match race in September. The Puritan
| stake was won by Cresceus; the LOUIS
vile Derby, May 4. by Plaudit; the
$4,000 stake at Buffalo, August 10, by
| Directum Kelly; the Futurity stake,
August "a, by Martimas, and the Tran
sylvania, at Lexington, KY, by John
al ch 10 II
place, as usual, at Madison Square
Garden during the week of November
IA. The historic English Derby, at
EPSON, was won by j. w. Lanarch's
Jeddah.
A national association was formed to
control horse shows, which will make
these events more popular than ever
and more useful to horsemen.
Yachting was more notable last sea-
son on account of what was arranged
for than for the actual races. The
chief event of the year was the chal-
lenge of Sir Thomas Upton for the
Americas cup. He left the arrange
ment of the terms to the New York
Yacht Club, the holders of the trophy.
The first race will take place on Octo-
Der 8. Sir Thomas has ordered boat
from Fife, the famous yacht builder Of
the Clyde, which will be named Sham
| rock. A syndicate of New York
yachtsmen, headed by J. p. Morgan,
has instructed the HerreshoffS to con-
struct another defender.
The Seawanhaka cup was once more
won by the Canadians, G. H. Duggans
Dominion defeating the challenger, C.
H. Cranes Challenger, in straight
heats. The Canadian boat was in
effect catamaran, d type generally
| understood to be ruled out Of all yacht
ing contests unless specially provided
| for. The articles, however, governing
the races did not specifically state that
a double hull should not be used, con-
| sequently the Canadians were techni-
cally entitled to the cup. There was
a good deal of feeling over the affair,
and for some time it looked as though
there would be no more races. How
ever, after some correspondence, the
Seawanhakas sent another challenge,
and next season the races will be sailed
under a new set of rules.
Bicycle racing was very interesting
all last season The principal ques-
ton at issue is whether the L. A. W.
shall still control racing. At the an
nual race meeting of the league at
Louis vile on August II, Owen Kimble
won the national championship. Many
new records were made during the sea-
son. The mile record, paced, was low
cred to I'm. 81 Ass. by Taylor of Cam
bridge. The popular Irvington- Mill
burn road race was won by ]. ]. McCar-
thy of Belleville, n. j., the Chicago
road race by Joseph Ringl On April
10 Fixes defeated Barnaby in a 30-mile
race at Charles River park. On May
30, at the same place and distance, Lin
ton beat Fixes. August IL Michmael
beat McDuffie in New York at 80 miles
In the six day race at Madison Square
Garden Charles w. Miller again won,
| riding 2,007 miles, with Waller second
and Pierce third
Rowing matters showed that Cornell
was still supreme in that department
On June % she won the great three
| cornered four mile race between Cor
| nell, Yale and Harvard at New Lon
| don, the crews finishing in the order
named and Cornell leading all the way
On July in a three mile race at Sara
| toga between Cornell, Pennsylvania,
| Wisconsin and Columbia the second
named crew won in the record time Of
| Ism. 5115s., Cornell being second On
