THEROWING THE HAMMERwas next in order. Only six men were entered and the result was not phenomenal. The first prize was taken by Coxe of Yale, who threw 83ft. 2in Allen, '84, took the second prize with a throw of 77ft. 1 4in. The

HALF-MILE RUNfollowed and proved a close and exciting race. The contestants numbered about a dozen, among them being Goodwin, Brandt and Root. The race for first place lay between smith of Columbia, and Goodwin. Smith pressed the latter until within about twenty yards of the finish, when Goodwin broke away and won by a considerable lead. Brandt came in after Smith a good third. The time made by the winner was 2m. 5 1-2s.

The last event, except the final pull of the tug-of-war, already described, was the final heat in the

220-YARDS DASH.On the outcome of this race the result as to the winner of this cup depended. It was a veritable contest between Harvard and Yale, and proved to be the most exciting as well as mentors occurrence of the afternoon. The trial heats had been won by Baker and Brooks respectively, and the spectators looked for a close race. They were not disappointed. Brooks led along the straight track for over 160 yards, and then Baker passed to the front and won in the remarkable fasty time of 22 2-5 seconds. This is not only better than the college record, but beats all American records and equals the best ever made in England. Had Brooks won, the cup would have gone to Yale, so the closeness of the whole contest can be easily appreciated.
