Owing to the bad weather the attendance at the third winter meeting on Saturday was not as large as usual. The meeting, however, was, on the whole, an interesting one, although the exhibition of jumping and high kicking could not compare with the third winter meeting of last year, when several records were broken. The first event was the

RUNNING HIGH JUMP.A few minutes past two o'clock the contestants in the running high jump appeared. The bar was placed at four feet six inches. It was quickly raised from this height, however, until Henry failed at 5 feet, Batchelder having previously withdrawn. Buckingham fell out at five feet one inch. Clark, Bradley and Rogers now did some good and graceful jumping. Rogers jumped five feet three and a half inches, but failed to clear half an inch more. Bradley jumped five feet four and seven-tenths inches. Clark then attempted to make up the five inches handicap. Last year Clark, Atkinson and Fogg tied at 5 ft. 8 3-4 in., and much interest was felt whether this record could be bettered. Clark jumped 5 ft. 9 in., which, however, did not make up the handicap of five inches. Bradley therefore won first prize with Clark second. Clark's jump of five feet nine inches is the best ever made in the gymnasium. The contestants in this event were H. L. Clark, '87, E. H. Rogers, '87, E. Buckingham, '87, B. C. Henry, '86, J. D. Bradley, '86, T. C. Batchelder, L. S.

FLYING RINGS.The flying rings was the next event on the programme. It was well and closely contested, Pudor and Batchelder doing some very difficult and graceful feats. The event was won by Pudor. The contestants were: G. A. Pudor, '86, T. C. Batchelder, L. S., and A. T. Dudley, '87.

ROPE CLIMBING.G. A. Pudor, '86, had walkover in this event.

POLE VAULT.The pole vault competitors were: T. C. Craig, '87, and J. W. Dudley, '87. Dudley failed at eight feet three inches. Craig vaulted at this height and won the event.

HORIZONTAL BAR.This exhibition of horizontal bar work was better than it was last year. There were four contestants, all of whom showed strength and skill. J. C. Faulkner, '86, won the general applause by his graceful movements. The prize was awarded to him. The other competitors were: H. Swain, '89, R. T. Osgood, '87, and T. C. Batchelder, L. S.

ROWING.The exhibition of rowing by the University crew was greeted by the loud applause of the audience. The crew rowed in fine form, the spurt at the finish being especially well done. Three cheers for the men were proposed by President Smith, and were responded to with enthusiasm.

In the interval between the rowing and the high kick, the Mott Haven cup, which was won last spring for the sixth time by Harvard, was brought out by President Smith. He announced the contestants who had aided in winning the victory at the Polo Grounds as follows: First prizes, the tug-of-war team, - Easton, Curtis, Remington and Pease; Wendell Baker in the 2.20 yard dash and quarter-mile run; Bradley in the running broad jump. Second prizes were won by D. C. Clark, in putting the shot, Gibson in throwing the hammer, Dean in the bicycle race, Fogg in the running broad jump, and Bemis in the mile walk. The cup was first awarded by the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association in 1876, when Princeton was the victor. For the next three years Columbia held it, but in 1880 it came to Harvard, where it has since remained. President Smith announced that if Harvard wins at Mott Haven this spring, the cup will belong to Harvard for good, as she will then have won seven of the fourteen spaces on it.
