The finals in the 220 yards dash were the most exciting event of the day, for the other events were all decided but the pole vault, and the 220 yds. dash would decide which school was to win the cup. The men were nearly even at the grand stand, but in the last 40 yds. Storrs, R. L. S., and Dove. Hop., drew away from Jackson, B. and N., and Storrs won by about 6 in. in 23 3-5 sec., equaling the record. Storrs had already run two hard heats in the 1-4 mile, and one in the 220 yards dash, so the this last performance was really remarkable.
In the field events the first was throwing the base ball, which was won by V. E. Mitchell, W. A., who threw 330 ft. 3 in. Mahoney, E. H. S., was second, throwing 307 ft. 4 in. Russell, All., third, 301 ft. 11 in.
The running jump was won by Sheldon, P. A., with a jump of 5 ft. 5 3 4 in., beating the former record by 3-8 in. Dibblee, B and N., jumped 5 ft. 5 in., and Borden, F. R. H., tied with Codman, Ha., for third place at 5 ft. 4 in., and divided the point. Borden won the medal by toss.
Mahoney, E. H. 8., made a new record of 32 ft. 6 1 2 in. in putting the 16 lb. shot. Driscoll, B. H. S. took second place with a put of 31 ft. 9 1-2 in., and Vaughan, B. and N., third, with 31 ft. 5 in.
In the running broad jump, Rice, No., won, jumping 19 ft 11 in, Dove, Hop., was second with 19 ft. 8 1-2 in., and Driscoll. B. H. S., was third with 19 ft. 3 1-2 in.

Brewer, Hop., tore a muscle in his leg in the finals of the quarter-mile, thus losing to his school first place in the running broad jump, in which he holds the record of 21 ft. 6 in. He might also have won the 220 yards dash, as he holds the record in that event too.
