HARVARD ATHLETIC GAMES.

The games held under the auspices of the Harvard Athletic Association last Saturday were good, but can be by no means compared to last year's meeting. A heavy shower which fell at two o'clock somewhat dampened the ardor of the many spectators who had begun to gather. At half past two the benches were filled with spectators,-many ladies among them, who braved the two showers which fell during the progress of the games and remained until the end. The events were held in the following order:

THROWING THE HAMMER.Four men entered for this event, all of whom came to the scratch, namely, A. L. McRae, S. S., E. E. Allen, '84, J. J. Roberts, '86, D. B. Chamberlain, '86. The throwing was somewhat wild, and after a prolonged contest the first place was gained by Allen, '84, with a throw of 80 feet, and McRae a fair second, with 75 feet, 10 inches. While the hammer was thrown the

100 YARDS DASHwas run. The contestants were, W. Baker, '86, F. S Billings, '85 and E. H. Rogers, '87, who, after several false starts, got off squarely and finished in the order above given, Baker taking the lead easily in the race and holding it well. Billings and Rogers ran side by side, but at eighty yards Billings worked ahead and came in four or five yards after Baker, with Rogers a good third. Baker's time was 10 1-8. Next in order came the

120 YARDS HURDLE RACE,contested for by S. Abbott, '87, G. R. Agassiz, '84, J. D. Bradley, '86, and S. Cary, '86. The men got off all right at the second trial and Agassiz took the lead, but fell badly at the third hurdle. He picked himself up and ran on. Cary also tripped, and as he injured his leg did not continue the race. Bradley, who had taken the lead after Agassiz's fall, easily held it and came in first with Abbot a bad second. The winner's time was 19 1-4 seconds.

RUNNING BROAD JUMP.F. B. Fogg, '85, L. Lincoln, '86, and W. A. Henry, L. S., appeared on the field and both Fogg and Henry overstepped the mark on the first trial. Fogg jumped correctly at the next trial and managed to cover 19 feet 6 inches, which the other contestants failed to reach, leaving Fogg the winner, with Henry second.

1-4 MILE RUN.F. W. White, '85, and O. A. Mygatt, '87, toed the mark and got off well together. White passed Mygatt at the 40-yard post and rapidly drew away, finishing 20 feet in front of Mygatt, in 53 1-2 seconds, Mygatt's time being 56 1-2 seconds.

PUTTING THE SHOT.A. L. McRae, S. S., D. B. Chamberlain, '86, and J. J. Roberts, '86, entered. Chamberlain put it 31 feet 10 inches, with Roberts second, whose record was 29 feet, 9 1-2 inches. As the shot was

being put, Bemis attempted to break the Harvard record in the

MILE WALK.He started off in beautiful form and by square heel and toe work managed to get over the first lap in 1 minute, 48 seconds. The second lap compelled him to slacken his speed a little, and was walked in 3.45, the third in 5.44, and the fourth in 7.37 1-4, three and a quarter seconds above the Harvard record. Bemis' style of walking is excellent, and he ought by no means to feel discouraged at his failure to break the record, as the rain went far towards slackening his speed. As Bemis finished his last lap, the contestants in the

RUNNING HIGH JUMP.took their places and one after the other cleared the bar up to 5 feet, 5 inches. Here C. H. Atkinson, '85, and F. B. Fogg, '85, tied, as they both failed to clear 5 feet, 6 inches. H. L. Clark, '87, got over 5 feet 6 inches, thus winning. The jumping was good considering how soft and slippery the rain had made the ground. Quite a delay ensued before the

MILE RUN.As soon as the men were found they ranged in position in the following order. J. B. Walker, '84, A. E. Strong, '85. W. Austin, '87, G. F. Davidson, '85, W. C. Fish, '86, and W. A. Henry, L. S. Shortly after the start Henry took the lead, but Davidson soon passed him and the men ran one after the other for the first lap, when Austin dropped out. On the second lap Walker, who held third place, passed Henry and followed closely in Davidson's foot-steps. At the end of the third lap Fish and Henry dropped out and left only Davidson and Walker. Davidson was passed by Walker on the last time around. Walker spurted finely on the last hundred yards and won in 5 min. 1 7-8 seconds, with Davidson second, 5 minutes, 6 seconds.

As two men failed to appear for the 220-yards dash, it was not run, and the next event in order was the

HALF-MILE RUN,for which W. Baker, '86, S. Abbot, '87, T. H. Root, '85, C. F. Brandt, '85, and E. E. Graham, '86, entered. Baker got a good start and immediately took the lead and passed the mark on the first lap in the fast time of 1 minute, but visibly slackened on the last lap and only finished in 2 minutes, 9 seconds, leaving the other competitors 40 yards behind. Brandt and root ran side by side, but Brandt pulled ahead as he passed the tape and came in 2 minutes, 14 seconds. Last of all came the

POLE YAULT,for which only two entered, namely, H. F. Mandell, '84, and P. R. Frothingham, '86. Both cleared the bar up to 8 feet, but Frothingham failed to lift himself over 8 feet, 11 1-2 inches, and as Mandell could not get over 9 feet, 5 inches, he ceased to try and was declared winner at 8 feet, 11 1-2 inches.
