Mcguire was third by a sixteenth. The
Grants declined to run over today.
In the mile, Alexander Grant beat out
Wright by ten yards The half mile
was fought out from start to finish
and Marvel was only four yards ahead
of Bray. The other men finished close
up.
The quarter mile was won in the last
five yards and it was only Long
sprint that carried him in ahead of Hol-
land
Both hurdle events were easy for
Kraenzlein. Expectations of great
things in the field events were not real
lied except in the discus, and as this
offers a chance for new figures, the old
record had to go.
The meet was finely conducted with
William 3. Curtis of the New York
Athletic Club as referee, and corps
of assistants representing nearly every
prominent athletic club in the country

for nearly the distance, but lacked the
finishing touch to overcome the leade''s
distance. He was fast enough, how
ever, to lower Wefers' colors.
The best events were the 220 yard
final and the five mile run, the latter,
for the first time In this country, 60
ing as a dead heat to AleXAndsc and
Dick Grant. Bernard Wefers, who re-
turned to the track in order to COM
pete, proved himself a game Splinter,
but in the critical second was twice
beaten at the tape.
In the field events Powers and Elan
nagan shared the honofs with the
weights, while Bakers jumps were
quite an incident of the meet. The
worlds record which fell was in the
latest competitive sport in this country
discus throwing-anG Powers first
broke the record, but Sheldon finally
established the new figures.
The century sprint was run in two
heats. In the first Kraenzlein had an
easy win, while Wefers beat out Hines.
In the second young Duffy, who has
Just come out under the tutoring of
Donovan, and Walter Christie. the IA
nous professional surprised everyone
by eQualling the record. 1t was no easy
win for him, for after taking great start
he was pressed to his best for %
yards. His finish was an easy one, wita
Stephens two yards behind him.
After the heat there was momentary
dispute, Mike Murphy, the well-known
trainer, claiming that Duffy beat the
pistol It was fact that a prettier start
was never seen. but the judges declared
that the start was fair and that Mr.
Bowler. the starter, who groomed Duffy
for the event, had not favored the
youngster. The final, though run in
ten seconds fiat, was very close, for the
men ran abreast until ten yards from
the worsted. when Duffy sprinted
across first, with Kraenzlein only few
inches behind him.
Three feet from the finish Wefers led
Stephens slightly. Probably through
over confidence Wefers involuntarily
Stacked up and threw up his hands as
if finished and Stephens threw his
body forward to what looked an even
thing, but the Judges said the Halifax
man was third.
The 220 yards dash was the most
spectacular In the first trial Wefers
led Marshall all the way and appar-
emily won, but the judges decided it
was a dead heat. The second heat was
nip and tuck for half the distance,
when Long outran the others. The final
saw the men come down the stretcn
shoulder to shoulder, and in great
burst of speed Long won. Wefers again
lost to Stephens in the last Is feet,
through involuntarily easing up at the
finish.
OF the other events the five-mile run
had the greatest wind up. McQueeney
quit at mile and three-quarters, For
almost the entire distance Dick Grant,
in his Harvard sweater. led, with Alex
ander Grant and Mcguire at his heels.
On the last quarter mile both Grants
sprinted, leaving Mcguire behind. Alex
ander Grant took the lead and In q
sprint the brothers made the finish
abreast.
Dick claimed he won, but the judges
called it a dead heat, although it was
evident that had Alexander Rugged tbs
pole, he would have won out, as hi
brother would have had one stride ex
ira, and. that distance, small as it was
would have won out for Alexander

HAVE NO COMPLAINT.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26-Officials
of the Chinese legation stated today
that the Chinese minister, Mr. WI
Ting Fang, had made no complaint
against DIR. Bedloe, the United States
consul at Canton, China, in connection
with certificates to Chinese going to
the Philippines. This statement gives
the case of Consul Bedloe rather an I'M
certain aspect.
The state department yesterday de-
MED that DIR. Bedloe's suspension was
due to any connection with the selz-
ure of the steamer Abbey. This led to
a revision of the first publication so
that Consul Bedloe's recall was ascrib-
ed to the action of the Chinese minis
ter in presenting charges.
