see the baseball game between the knicker-

the carnival at 10 o'clock in the morning. and
when the track events began at half past l
there was record.breaking attendance for

but had he competed. the pennsylvanian
would have been forced to do his utmost to
equal the winners performances. Powers.
who competed under the colors OF st. Pauls
Lyceum A. A. OF Worcester. proved an adept
at nearly every ono of the ten events on the
programme. He went through the ordeal with
any previous winner. and apparently held the
percentage record safe when the men were
called to the mark for the one-mile run. the
last race Of the day. Powers only needed to
run the distance In minutes and 10 seconds
to eclipse the record OF 6,244's points made by
Ellery II. Clark two years ago. The long dis
lance proved too much for the already tired
athlete. His time OF 8 minutes "a 80 seconds
only Melted him 800 points. aud brought his
total for the ten events to 6,2O3.

failed to reach the standard in tho pole vault
owing to q misunderstanding. He took what
he thought were trial runs at tho bar to judge
his distance. but the measurers counted them
as tries. Whites error let up Sanderson. the
Canadian. and it was nip and tuck between
them for second place until Sandcrson came
