Annual Spring Meeting.

The games on Saturday afternoon promise well for the success of the Mott Haven team in the coming meeting with Yale at New Haven. In the first event on the program, the 120 yards hurdle race, Garcelon began by lowering the Harvard record to 16 1-5 sec., and even then only just succeeded in winning from Munroe. Later he did the 220 yards hurdles in the fast time of 25 1-5 sec. Merrill also did admirably well in the two dashes, winning both, the first in 10 2-5 sec., the longer one in 22 1-5 sec. Phillips '97, with no one near enough to make him race, lowered his previous record of 7 min. 27 2-5 sec., in the mile walk to 7 min. 8 2-5 sec. Immediately afterwards F. S. Elliot '95, rode an exhibition two miles on the bicycle. He rode for a record, with four men pacing him two laps each, and covered the two miles in 5 min. 7 2-5 sec., which goes below all collegiate records. Below is a summary of the events:
