When he failed to show up at head

advised him not to fill his engagement

There was nothing left for the Union
management to do but to make the an
nouncement This Umpire Collum did
to the 5000 assembled in the stand and
in the bleachers.
He stated that any persons who so
desired could get their money back by
surrendering their rain checks at the
box office. This a few persons in the
bleachers did, but only six left the

land was away with the 440-yard dash,
beating out w. *. FOrhan'S record of
81 and 3-5 seconds, held by Westbrook
Seminary. At the very last of the at
ternoon'S events Smith of kent'S Hill
exceeded even his own expectations by
doing 10 feet inches in the pole vault,
beating out the record of feet liz
inches held up to yesterday by A. c.
Chase of Hebron. This was one of the
surprises of the day as in the morning
the height vaulted was only feet 5
inches.
The reports which had been coming
from the various schools gave those in

would be close between Hebron and
Portland, and Saturday morning at
the various fraternity houses where
the contestants from the competing
schools were being entertained, pros

Coach McGraw admitted early in the
morning that, with the heavy losses
that Hebron sustained through the
loss of several men by graduation.

Portland entries, the margin of victory
would stand nowhere near that of last
year, when the Hebronites scored 70
odd points to Portland Highs is.
Coach Thompson Of the Portland team
was willing to admit only that his
team would score as many as 25
points and the general concensus of

getting first and third with a new rec
ord in the trials of the discus, third in
the shot-put and second and third in
the hammer throw. Bar Harbor, which
is always strong in the weights, got
first in the trials of the shot-put and
the hammer throw. Portland was
showing up well in the dashes.
The 100-yard dash. the 44O-yard
dash, the halfmile and the mile were
the great events of the day up to the
time of the pole vault, which took
precedence for interest in the field
events. In the final of the 100-yar,l
dash Stacy of Hebron and Cole and

stretch neck and neck and Stacey won
