Daily Harvard) and Harrington (Har-
varO tried broad jumping in order to
test the ground, and performed very
creditably, though the distances were
not measured.
| Clark (Harvard) Foote Harvard
and Palmer Oale) logged couple Of
miles.
Ten members of the Oxford Cam
bridge team did little dilatory work.
While it is too early to discriminate be-
tween the contestants, the Englishmen
do not appear to be in as good condition
as the Americans Bevan Cambridge
/ who is slated for the long jump, is
manifestly out Of condition. The Amer
!, leans all around are younger and
lighter, but they are in excellent form.
Among the Englishmen, Hunter Cam
BRIDGE, booked for the mile run; Da-
wilson Cambridge who is to start in
the quarter-mile run, and Vassal Ok
ford) who will take part in the long
jump, did creditable work
C. N. Jackson Treasurer of the Ok
ford Athletic Club, who has charge of
the English team, was among those
who watched the performances. He
said to a representative of the Asso-
Fciated Press:
.'It is too early to predict, but both
teams seem in excellent condition. The
prospects for July 22d are most flatter-
ing"
The Americans returned to Brighton
this evening. Although lawn-tennis
tournament was proceeding, the work
of the Americans proved more attrac-
tive to the large crowds assembled in
the grounds, who closely watched the
performances.
| Chairman Wendall, Chairman of the
Yale Harvard team, superintended and
timed the contests, assisted by Secre-
tary Becks of the Queens Club, all the
members of which did everything in
their power to make the visitors feel at
home.
| Mr. Wendall, in behalf of the team.
expressed delight at the condition Of
the grounds and track, all of which he
thought superb. He said, so far as
the team was concerned, it had found
the climate, thus far most exhilirating,
and as the contests in America usually
occur in midsummer. the warm wea-
ther was altogether in their favor, and
if the next week continued warm the
Americans would certainly have no
ground for complaint against the eli :
mate.
