| The 1,5c0 meter fiat race brought nine
contestants to the tape, representing
Denmark, England, France, Austria
and the United States. David c. Hail
of Brown university and John Bray of
Williams college were the two Amer
lean entries. Almost from the start the
race seemed a contest between Bennett,
English, and Deloge, French These
two raced around the turns close to-
gether and as they entered the stretch
they drew away from the others and
had hard tussle, which Bennett won
by two yards, with Deoge second, and
Brey third. Time. 4:06. Christensen,
Dane; Kraschtil, Austrian; Louis,
French; Remmer, English, and Pukl,

NJ. Tauzin, who has held the French
record for years was considered a sure
winner. There We're only three in the
final. Tewksbury went to the front as

The $500 metres steeplechase handi-
cap, which included stone fences, a wa
ter jump, hurdles and other obstacles, |
created greater enthusiasm than all the

participate the duty fell upon Mr.. Or

nearly all the running with orion rest

France and England took the water |
jump abreast. On the third and fourth |
rounds England, France and the two
Americans were the only ones remain

pace. Orton was last and as many |
thought, virtually, out of it, but. on
turning home he woke up, passing |
