of the afternoon. All of those starting
were young boys and in this Steep again
demonstrated his ability as a long distance
runner. He was leading by many feet at
the finish but Turner, second, was close.
Bates making good third. The two last

SPECTACULAR RELAY.
BY the time for the relay the shades of
night were fast closing over the field. Both
sides gave ample evidence of still being in
the game with their loyal cheers and en-
thusiastic yells. This race was one of the
prettiest of the kind seen in this city. Each
man ran 440 yards, and it was anybody's
victory until the last minute, when Duggan,
suffering from his ankle, won the day for
his school and fell headlong in the arms of
a trainer.
The relays were established in front of
the grand stand for the finish, and at the
opposite side of the track. Patton and
Rhodehammel were the first to carry the
relay. The former of Shortridge. took the
lead and appeared to put his colors on a
fair road to ultimate victory, when Rhode
hammel began TO gain, and when they
reached the opposite side of the track
where fresh men awaited, both Shank, OF
Shortridge, and Scott, of NJ L. II. B., lett
at the same time. The former. however,
made a big gain over his opponent, and
when Michael took the pace it looked to be
easy for the wearer of blue and white, who
made the air ring with their shouts. Did
del, however, with determined effort, start
ed after the disappearing form of blue, and
as the two approached the station much
ground had been gained. Ten Eyck, who
took the Shortridge relay, had fine start
over Alfred Duggan, but the gap was soon
closed and as the students fiocked on the
field, peering eagerly to see who would be
victorious. the red jersey was seen TO pass
the blue, and second later Duggan crossed
the tape, exhausted but triumphant. 1t
was then 7:30, and the small band of fol-
lowers filed out of the grand stand yelling
and cheering. the red and white intoxicated
with victory, but Shortridge still game.
