NEW YORK, May 29.- The trial heats in all the field events in the intercollegiate games and all the track events except the mile walk and mile run were contested yesterday. The track was not very fast owing to the rains last night, but the times in several events were fairly good.
E. F. Davidson, of Rochester, surprised everyone by his good work in the half and the quarter. The unexpected also happened in the failure of the Harvard quarter-mile runners to get a place in the finals.
