#s CHARLOTTESVILLE v A.. NJ ay Is 81
The fourth annual duel meet between
Johns Hopkins and Virginia resulted IN
rather an easy victory for the v!sitors,5
who won out by a margin OF TWEEN ti-two
points, Hopkins getting total Of si'tt
three to forty-one for Virginia.
Three Virginia records were e broken c. m
ali By Virginia men, the mile, two mile
and hammer throw. In the mile run
Bosher, or Virginia, took the lead at
the start, and was never hi led winning
byGa big margin over G rifflth. Of Hop
kins. IN the two mile run Griffith kept
close "a to Harvard until the last lap.
when the latter3took a big squirt and won
$handIly, John Ashbys Williams. OF WASH
8ington, added nearly ten feet toll Viz ,iir'-$
ginia record In the hammeS throw.
5S CAPTAIN Hunter equalled the Hopkins
record in the hundred yard dash. while
Joe Hin broke the Ho1klns record IN
the high hurdles. Brakeman. the Hop
kins freshman. surprised his teammates
by ticlng for first place in the pole vault.
This, however, was due to the fact that
Taylor, yirglnia's crack Naulter, who;
has cleared the bar at ten feet seven
inches had the misfortune to- sprain his
ankle early in the contest.
The most exciting event OF the meet
vas the 44O yard dash, in which Captain
Naples, of Virginia, defeated Padgett
byg a few inches "
The $50 yard dash was ALMOST a dead
heat between Bosher and N1cNagny, OF
Virginia. who broke the tape a hundred
yards ahead OF their competitors.

tied to their wharves. and TO them have been
added four more. while the companies have been
able to add but two to the number OF boats

What is looked upon as decidedly the most
important development Of the day is the ap-
parent change in the attitude Of Captain Willard
