The Manhatten Athletic Grounds in New York were, on Saturday, alive with a large crowd of contestants and spectators, all interested in the ninth annual games of the I. G. A. A. Delegations of student spectators were present from several colleges, noticeably Columbia, Yale, Princeton and Leigh, while a small knot of Harvard man cheered on the contestants from Cambridge. The day in New York, as well as here, was warm, and although too much for some of the contestants took any chilliness out of the air and warmed up the men to their work as the records show.

HUNDRED YARDS DASH.The meeting was opened with the trial heats of the hundred yards dash. W. H. Philip, '84, of Union, won the first, 10 2-5s.; Brooks of Yale, the second, 10 2-5s., and W. Baker the third, 10 2-5s. Billings, '85, the only other Harvard man entered, came in second in the third heat, and so ran in the finals. In the final heat the word to "set" was so quickly followed by the pistol shot that Baker was taken unprepared, and so failed to catch Brooks who won in 10 1-5s. Baker came in a close second. This was quickly followed by the trial heats of the

TWO-MILE BICYCLE RACE.There were three heats. Norton refused to ride, being afraid of the sharp corners, and Matthewson was distanced and dropped out before his heat was completed, so the chances of Harvard winning this event were early dissipated. Hamilton of Yale, won the first, with Reed of Columbia, second. Howard of Cornell, took the second heat, and the third was won by a man from one of the smaller colleges. The final heat, which was ridden later on, was taken by Hamilton, in 6m. 48 1-2s. Reed, second. Meanwhile the

TUG-OF-WARtrial pulls were taking place. Seven teams were entered; Cornell. Columbia, Lafayette, Lehigh, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Yale. In the first round Harvard was pitted against Cornell, who got the drop by two inches, because Easton had too short a rope. Harvard easily pulled it away, and when time was called the ribbon was 18 inches on Harvard's side of the scratch. The second round brought the Harvard team face to face with Yale who, having drawn a bye before, were perfectly fresh. Harvard won the drop by one inch and then heaved and obtained eight inches in all. They then waited for Yale to heave, but the blues failed to make any movement throughout the five minutes to the surprise of all, and so Harvard won by eight inches. The final tug was between Lehigh and Harvard. Those on the grounds thought that Lehigh had shown up better in the preliminary trials, but when the last five minutes pull was over, Harvard had pulled a foot and a half of their adversaries' rope over to their side, and had won the event.

THE ONE-MILE RUN

was next in order. Harvard did not show up well among the eleven entries. Walker tailed in toward the end and Root only showed himself in the middle of the crowd at the finish. Faries of the University of Pennsylvania, won with a record of 4m. 45 1-5s., and H. L. Mitchell of Yale, was second. To contest the

RUNNING BROAD JUMPthere were eight men. Bodelsen of Columbia, was the winner by a jump of 21 feet 3 1-2in., which betters the record by half an inch. A. G. Fell of Princeton, was second, 20ft. 11 1-2in, Fogg, '85, made a jump of 19ft. 4 3-4in. but overstepped his other trials, and so did not gain a place. Henry only jumped 19ft. 1in.

The next running event was the

440-YARDS DASH.Harvard was represented by Goodwin and White. The race was handily won by Goodwin, who finished in 52 3-5s., with Smith of Columbia, second. White came in a close third, making a good showing, two out of the three leaders being Harvard men. Next in order was the
