SHEPPARD WINS FINAL.

London, July 21.-Melvin w. Sheppard
of the Irish-American Athletic club,
who took the measure of England's
best distance men in the 1.50Ometer
run at the Olympic games just a week
ago, scored another victory today when
he finished far in the lead in the 500
meter event. establishing a new Olym-
pic record of 1852 As for the distance
and continuing on to the half mile,
which he ran in 1854, with three fifths
of second off c. H Kilpatricks
worlds record, made in New York in
1895
Another gold medal went to America
when Harry f Porter of the Irish
American Athletic club captured the
high jump by clearing the bar at feet
inches and beating the Olympic rec
ord made by J. K. Baxter in Paris in
1900 of feet As inches. After as
surfing himself that he was the win
ner he went after the worlds record.
The bar was placed at feet So in
ches. Just one-eighth of an inch higher
than the record, which was made by
NJ. F. Sweeney in New York in 1895,
but it was just shade too much for
him.
