The Challenge Cup.

HARVARD WINS IT FOR THE SIXTH SUCCESSIVE YEAR.

THE RUNNING BROAD JUMP.This event was but poorly contested, two of the four men being from Harvard. Bradley, '86, was the winner, his best jump measuring 19ft. 6 in.; Fogg, '85, was second; record, 19ft. 4 1 2in. Mapes of Columbia, and Rubsamen of Yale were the other men.

THE QUARTER-MILE RUN.This race was practically a walk-over for Wendell Baker, '86, there being no good man to press him. In fact only two others, Griffith, '86, Princeton, and Ellison, '85. U. of P., went in. Baker's time was slow, as he was saying himself for the 220 yards dash. It was 54 2-5 sec., Griffith was a poor second.

MILE WALK.The entries for this event were seven in number, but before two laps had been walked, all but three had either fallen out or been disqualified. The three left were Bemis '87, who had the lead, Ware of Columbia, and Wright, '86. third. Bemis kept the lead until the middle of the last lap, when Ware, who had been warned twice, managed to pass him by a very questionable style of heel and toe walking, and came in ahead. Ware's time was 7m. 27 3-5s. Bemis made it in 7m. 31 3-5s.

THE HURDLE RACE, 120 YARDS.This was the most unfair contest of the whole afternoon. Ludington of Yale, and Safford of Columbia, and Bradley, '86 were the contestants. The starter gave the word to get ready, and the first two started without waiting for the pistol. Bradley requested that they be set back according to rule, but the starter without heeding him fired his pistol, and Bradley had to follow the other two, by that time already half way to the first hurdle, or get left entirely. He ran so much better than they that he cleared the last hurdle almost at the same time with them, and finished but a few inches in the rear of Safford, who, in turn, was almost abreast of Ludington, the winner. The time was 19 1-5s.

THE POLE VAULT.This was rather a tame contest. The three Harvard men. Frothingham, '86; Dudley, '87; and Craig '87; all failed at 9 feet. The winner, L. D. Godshall, '87, Lafayette, make a record of 9 ft. 7 1 4 in. The second man was A. Stevens, '87, Columbia.

THE 220 YARDS DASH.This was run in heats, Baker and
