where Long caught him. The two had a
heart breaking run to the finish, which
Long reached one yard in advance.
Schulz was Is yards to the rear. The
time was 40 2-5 seconds, beating the
French record of 80 3-5. Had the other
Americans started, America would I'M
doubtedly have gained first. second and
third. Had today's records alone decided
the discus throw ing, Sheldon would
have won, for today he outstripped his
Hungarian competitors. Butsthe records
made in the preliminaries stood in th
finals and yesterday they did better, with
the result that Bauer, Hungarian, was
first at SO metres and 4 centimetres and
fonda, Austrian, second at 30 metres

In the 1900 metres fiat race, David @
Hall of Brown university and John Bray

first place with 100 centimetres. He made
an effort to clear 1877 centimetres which
would have given him the worlds cham
pionship, but he failed. Leahy, Irish,
was second with 176 centimetres.
The French1nen were loud IN their
shouts as the contestants for the 400
metres hurdle came upon the track, as
NJ. Tauzin, who was held the French rec
ord for years was considered a sure win
ner. There were My three in the final.
Tewksbury went to the front as soon
as the pistol was fired and was never
headed. He was followed closely by
Tauzin, Orion bringing up the rear.
Tewksbury won rather easily but Tauzin
was only yard ahead of orion. Time
| 81 3-5 seconds.
The $500 metres steeple- chase
handicap brought six men to the
scratch. With Messrs. Alexander Grant

pate the duty fell on Mr.. Orion or Mr..
Newton to win the event for America
