Gwynne Evans, who is training, in a way,
for the Exposition games. made several tries
at the running high jump, doing five feet
five inches on the fourth jump, and that
without spikes. Most of the boys tried to
throw the spears, which are an entirely
new thing to them. as they have always
been confined to the Turner's in athletic
contests. No one was able to come any
where near the record of severty-tive feet.
and most of the boys pronounced them too
light to be thrown any great distance. The
spears are seven feet in length and weigh
five pounds.
