Holden were the first and second in the first, and R. D. Smith, '86, and Derickson, '85, Columbia in the second. The final heat was won handily by Wendell Baker, in 22 3-5s. Derickson was second.

THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP.There were five entries, Fogg, Clark, and Atkinson of Harvard, W. B. Page, '87, U. of Penn; and G. Richards, '87, Columbia. For the first time in several years, Harvard, instead of taking first and second places, had to be content with bringing up the rear. Page won the event by a jump of 5 ft. 10 1-2 in. Atkinson and Richards tied for second place at 5 ft. 9 3 4 in. In jumping off, Atkinson failed to clear 5 ft, 7 1-4 in. which Richards did, thus winning second prize.

THROWING THE HAMMER.Coxe of Yale, Rushmore of Columbia, Brinton, '87, U. of Penn., and Gibson, '88, and Allen, M S. were the contestants. Gibson and Allen both made throws over 80 ft, at which Coxe felt scared, and trembled, but not for long. He made at last a throw of 88 ft. 1-2 in. and won the event, Gibson was second with 82 ft. 4 in. to his credit.

HALF MILE RUN.Here again there was a large field of contestants, Fessenden '87, representing Harvard. A quick pace was set at the start, and Fessenden was used up at the end, almost fainting on the track. Mitchell of Yale was the winner, and Faries of Pennsylvania second.

FINAL TUG-OF-WAR.Last on the programme came the final pull of the tug-of-war between Harvard and Lafayette. It was an exciting time, Yale had won the four first prizes, and Harvard only three. To win the cup, the tug-of-war must be taken by Harvard. The rival colleges howled for Lafayette, and our delegation cheered for Harvard. At the drop our team was successful, and soon they had six inches to their credit. Then our men sat still and let the Lafayette men try to take the rope back. Easton, however, sat it out calmly, and could not be moved. At the end of four minutes, the word was give, Harvard heaved, Easton came down, and the Lafayette anchor rose to an angle of 45 degrees. Had the rope been less stiff and more manageable, he would have been pulled off the cleats; but before another heave was taken by Easton, Lafayette had let out over a foot of rope and their anchor settled back on his cleat. Time was called with the ribbon 18 inches on our side of the centre.

Thus, in spite of bad starts and other things conspiring against them, the Harvard team won the Mott Haven cup for the year 1885. The record of prizes stands:

Harvard, 4 first, 5 second.

Yale, 4 first, 0 second.

U. of Penn., 2 first, 1 second.

Lafayette, 2 first, 0 second.

Columbia, 1 first, 6 second.

Michigan, 1 first, 0 second.

Princeton, 0 first, 1 second.
