sure winners before tho meet takes place,
which means that the entrants are well
matched, so far as can be learned from
their previous performances.
The medals have been received and
are of especially handsome design and
should be incentive enough TO make every
man put forth his very best efforts, aside
from the honor Of winning an athletic
event.
