| Paris, July 16--Twenty- champion
contests In connection with the exposi-
tion have been decided during the last
three days and America can boast of
winning six cen and of securing thirteen
seconds and twelve thirds. Nine events
took place to-day in which the Ameri-
cans placed six firsts SIX seconds and
seven thirds to their credit. They cap
tured the 200 metres hurdle race, the
standing high jump, the three standing
jumps the long jump, the hop, step and
jump, the hammer throwing and the
standing long jump; and they did it
easily In fact the facility with which
the American athletes carried off, prizes
finally grew monotonous.
Three events We're won by foreign
ers. One, the tug of war, was not con-
tested by the Americans. In the 500
metres fiat race which was won by an
Englishman Tysoa the American, took
second and third places. In the re-
naming race, the 1000 metres steeple-
chase, they failed to get a place, Eng
lishmen taking all three.
This result was somewhat of a disap-
pointment for the American spectators
as they had hoped to see Orton repeat
his splendid performance of yesterday.
Rmmer an Englishman, took the lead
at the outset and was never passed.
McClain ran in close for two-thirds of
the course, while Orton and Grant
brought uD the rear.
The first event was the 200 metres
hurdle race and resulted; A. C. Kraen-
zelin of University of Pennsylvania,
first: N G. Pritchard champion 100
yards runner of India, second, and Wal
ter 3. Tewksbury of University of
