The Athletic Meet.

The Athletic meet, that was to have
been held, Saturday, May 10, between
M. C. l s, G. W. F., w. q. s., and s. Fl.
s., was postponed because of the rain
to Monday, May 81. Waterville High,
did not send any men, on account of the
weather, it being thought that the meet
would not be held. Good Will Farm
was not represented on account of the
scarlet fever at the farm. The result
was an easy victory for the home
team. Although the afternoon was
somewhat showery, fair sized crowd
witnessed the events. Much interest
was manifested in the work of the re-
spective teams, although it was evi
dent from the beginning what the out
come would be. Because of a deficiency
of starters from the visiting team some OF
our own boys were able to save them
selves in many of the events, especially
In the hurdles and one mile run, thus &C.
counting for the low records. The
work of Macfarlane, M. G. l., was es-
pecially commendable and Parker, S. n.
s., proved himself one of our best men,
while Harville easily comes next. The
works of the distance runners, Thomas,
Hoyt and Jewett was all that could be
wished for. Clark and Page upheld
their reputation in the mile bicycle race.
Bigelow did himself justice by winning
the Is ID. hammer throw, breaking the
record made at the class meet. Stinch-
field showed by his work that he will
be a valuable man for the Brunswick
meet TO be held next Saturday.
Marston, Smith and Webb were especial
| ly valuable in the hurdles, the latter
showing up fine in the 440 yard dash,
while Goodwin showed a decided i'm
proyement In his form over last Satur-
days work. The results of good train
ing were shown throughout the events
and there seems to be good chance for
the S. H. s. to carry away few honors
from the Brunswick meet, next Satur.
