across the Atlantic and the climate of Eng
land should work unexpected havoc. the
visitors should have no difficulty In secur-
ing some of the running events.

afternoon proved a trying one for the COM
petitors. Princeton was peculiarly un-
fortunate, for. in addition TO having Perry

pole jump, and may not be able to compete
next week. The most friendly kind OF spir-
IL existed between the English and Amerf-
can competitors. Carroll. when Iaselles
failed to clear the bar and gave the Tigers
the victory. won golden opinion by stepping
forward shaking hands ard warmly saying:
at was one of the prettiest bits of jumping
have ever seen here"
