Yesterday afternoon the amateur record in the two hundred and twenty yards dash was broken by Wendell Baker, '86. We extend our hearty congratulations to the representative of Harvard who has won such honor for himself and for the college, by his great success. It is gratifying to reflect that this record has been established beyond dispute. The judges and timers were gentlemen of the highest reputation, and prominent in athletic circles, so we may feel sure that this record will never be questioned. It was a beautiful race, and it was fairly won against the only antagonist, time. The hard and faithful training of the winter met its reward. In the name of the college, we again congratulate the winner on his great success.
