 This ended the running and every one was glad. Gilbert took the pole i Vault as related above The ground had not been dug well the. other side of the bar and there were many small stones for him and Mcleod. his com petltor, to land on, The crowd gave them both cheer and liked the ! vaulting.
 After Smithson had won the broad | jump, the contest of the high jump was held, J, II. Hayes, l.. A. A. C., won at feet 12, a foot below the record. William Coughlin of Hartford had tied him, but lost In the toss up. ! C. Stetson was third.

 IL was now time for putting the shot. Ralph Rose, an advertised | Olympic champion and sure com ! petitor, was out on the broad Atlantic urging the engineers to send tho boat l ahead SO that he could reach New | Haven and with no avail Then It was found that there was not shot | to put nearer than the Yale gymna- sium and this dlsconcerted the ath- letes, But IL was finally decided to part with the Scotch hammer from its wire handle. and use the head for a shot Tho head was oval rather | than round and this made lt inconven- lent. C. Stetson. Pastime. won with 36 feet Inches, taking the toss up | from Coughlin of Hartford. who had | tied him Duncan, Mohawk. was third with 35 feet , inches. The manage ment received many congratulations on the original way in which the shot was procured
 The shades of night had now fall- en and the official handlcapper, F. ]. ! Coffcy, arrived. He had spent the ! day out of town and some one else had done the handIcappng The vis- ting athletes gave cheer for their | expense money was to come from him. ! Never was man more welcome than Mir. Coffee.
 Nearly half the officials provided for | were present, hut badges were not | given all of these and sso many of them were ultimately put of the 1 ground for their pains hy the inofn cient but self-important constabulary. | This naturally further handicapped l the performance.
 lt should be remembered that thnre was no connection between the com ! n1ittee which made arrangements for the state convention of the X. c. H l and the persons who had the field day in charge. The arrangements for inc first were as perfect as those for the second were imperfect
