It is to be hoped the notice for hammer throwers published in another column will meet with a hearty response from all who are of the necessary weight and strength to do good work in this event. On account of the cold and wet weather it has thus far been impossible to do any work in the weight events except in putting the shot in the Gymnasium. The shot-putting contests which have been held from time to time have been of some benefit, but have not brought out as many men as it was hoped they would. Putting the shot requires not only strength but considerable skill, which cannot be acquired all at once.
