SOME comment has been elicited from those who have seen the prizes of the H. A. A., owing to the fact that the cup given for the mile-run is so much less important than that for the mile-walk. The reason, however, becomes apparent upon a little reflection. The prize for the mile-walk was bought with the money subscribed by a club-table, made conditional on eight minutes being equalled. This was the exact time made. An equally handsome cup was offered for the mile-run conditional on 4 m. 55 sec. being made. This time was not made, and the mile cup was provided by the H. A. A. The cup is a very pretty one, but unfortunately it is thrown in the shade by some of the others.
