and there was great excitement. as
Craig of Michigan, Ramsdell and Minds
of Pennsylvania, Robson of Wesleyan
and Cooke of Princeton toed the scratch.
Craig took the lead and RamsdelL
who had defeated him in the 100 yard
dash. could not catch him. There was
no surprise when 1t was announced that
worlds record. Ramsdell took sec

score by two.
VIII Pennsylvania was generally look
ed upon as the probable winner Of the
championships, things looked rather blue
for the Philadelphia institution early in
the meet. This was brought about by the
unexpected defeat OF PAUL.. the mile in
tercollegiate champion, who was beaten
to the tape by q few inches by Taylor of
Cornell in slow time. Taylor ran with
fine judgment.
PAUL also failed to win the half mile
for Pennsylvania. and his running in this
event seemed to indicate that he was not
in the best of condition. Pennsylvania
hopes, however. were raised after the
twO-mile race, In which Wolfe won two
unexpected points. making up for Paulls
defeat. This race was won by Berna of
Cornell.

was looked upon as likely winner In this

vault. Nelson gave a great exhibition of
vaulting. After winning the event at IL

record at II feet 101a inches. He got
over the bar, but in coming down his ell
bow struck the crosspiece. much to the
dismay of the 1900 persons that looked
