bury, Orton and Tauzin will contest in the final.
The time Of neither heat was worth mentioning,

unnecessary exertion.
The introduction Of American college cheers
into to-day's proceedings was a complete revela-
ton to the Frenchmen and other foreigners.
At the first yell they apparently imagined some
invasion of wild Indians had occurred, but after
hearing the various cries about hundred times
in the day they appreciated the fact that 1t
was simply an outburst Of American enthusiasm
or announcement of the college men, a number
Of whom were present. The Frenchmen. how
ever could not become reconciled to this form
Of cheering, and they were heard to frequently
exclaim, What band of savages" The Ameri-
can methods of starting, jumping and shot put
ting were also Of interest to the Europeans. who
watched curiousIy the crouching posture Of the
sprinters as they waited for the firing Of the
pistol and the elaborate preparations Of each

The natty college costumes of the Ameri-
cans were a decided contrast to the homemade
attire Of some of the best European athletes,
who instead of donning sweater or bath
robe after the trials, walked about in straw hats
and light overcoats.
Much confusion marked several stages Of the
proceedings though the officials were always
courteous and well intentioned. and no American
athlete was heard to complain of any unfair or
unkind action their part.
