Of the events the most exciting were the 220 yards dash, the mile walk, the 120 yards hurdle race and the 100 yards dash. Records were broken in the 440 yards dash, the mile walk, the half mile run, the running high jump, putting the shot, and the pole vault.
The first of the track events was the 120 yards hurdle race, trial heats. In the first heat Codman of Hale's won easily in 18 3-5 sec. with V. E. Mitchell, W. A., second. In the second heat Grew, Hop., and Woodruff, P. A., came in almost together in 19 1-5 sec. Woodruff knocked over the last hurdle. Hurd, Brookline High, won the third heat easily in 18 4-5 sec. with H. S. Davis, Worcester High, second. In the trial for seconds to determine which should run in the finals, Woodruff won in 19 sec., Mitchell second and Davis third.
Next came the trial heats in the 440 yards dash. In the first heat Storrs, R. L. S., took the lead from the start and won in 54 2-5 sec.; Cook, W. A., second and Reynolds, Fall River, third. the second heat was more exciting. The men started well bunched, and on the back stretch W. S. Davis, W. H. S., spurted and took the lead, which he held till the finish. As the men came into the home stretch Deveneck, B. and N., spurted and took second place, but could not win from Davis. Brewer, Hop., ran just hard enough to make third place. Time 57 1-5 sec.
There were five starters in the bicycle race, among whom was Fenner, W A., who made the record of the association last year. The men rode the first half mile with Mitchell, W. A., to set the pace, Fenner trailing him, and Kimball, R. L. S., keeping close to Fenner. At the half, however, Fenner took the lead and held it to the finish. His time was 3 m. 1 45 sec. Kimball kept close to Fenner throughout the race and pushed him hard at the finish but could get nothing better than second place. Prierce, R. L. S, was a good third over Jenkins, Belmont. Mitchell rode himself out in the first half.
In the first trial heat of the 100 yards dash Davis, Hop., won in 10 4-5 sec. with Blossom, R. L. S., second. In the second heat Jackson, B. and N., won easily over Clark, Belmont, in 11 1-5 In the third heat Pavson, No., beat Smith, B. and N., in 11 1-5 sec. The fourth heat was won by Billings, W. H. S., in 10 4-5 sec. with Clark, E. H. S., second. In the trial heats for second men, Blossom won in 10 45 sec.
The finals in the 120 yards hurdle was very close, the first three men coming over the last hurdle almost together. Codman won in 18 2-5 sec. and Woodruff took second place from Grew, who fell just after jumping the last hurdle, but recovered himself in time to win third over Hurd, who had fallen earlier in the race.
In the final heat of the 440 yards dash Brewer had things all his own way and won by 10 yards in 53 2-5 sec. beating his own record by 4-5 sec. Second place went to Storrs by a pretty spurt on the very stretch. Reynolds took third.
The finals in the 100 yards dash came next, and were so close that daylight could not be seen between the first three men. Jackson was the winner in 10 4-5 sec. Dove was second and Billings third.
In the first trial heat of the 220 yards dash Storrs, R. L. S., won easily in 23 45 sec. Jameson, R. L. S., was second. Dove, Hop., won the second heat in 24 sec. with Woodruff, P. A., second. Jackson, B. and N., took the third heat without a struggle and came in looking at the second man, Hitch of Milton, in 24 2-5. Denholm, W. H. S., won the fourth heat in 24 2-5 sec. with Bullard, E. H. S., second. In the trial heat for second men Woodruff won in 24 sec.
In the mile walk McLaughlin, W. H. S., took the lead at the start. By the half mile mark he was thirty yards ahead of the second man, but after that Norton, Hop., began to cut down his lead inch by inch till, as they entered the home stretch, there was scarcely fifteen feet between them; but McLaughlin was too strong for him and finished first in 7 m. 36 1-5 sec., beating the old record by 20 1-5 sec. Johnson, W. A., was third.
Batchelder, R. L. S., broke the record of 2 m. 10 1-5 sec. by 2 2-5 sec. in the half mile run, leaving the field well in the rear from the start. His first quarter was done in 1 m. 2 1 5 sec. W. S. Davis, W. H. S., was second, and Hallowell, Hop., third by a plucky spurt at the finish.
