THE HANDICAP RUNS.

The quarter-mile race for the Wells Cup yesterday afternoon was won by J. G. Willis '02, with a handicap of five yards. O. W. Richardson 2L. won the two-mile handicap run, starting from the scratch.

In the quarter-mile race, E. Bell '04, one of the limit men, set the pace for the greater part of the distance, but was passed by Willis as they came into the home stretch. Willis won in 51 1-5s., with W. G. Clerk '01, a scratch man, second, and third, S. H. Bush '01, from the 10-yard mark.

For the first six laps of the two-mile race, the pace was set by the limit men, the five scratch men running together behind the main bunch. On the seventh lap Richardson took the lead, followed closely by F. C. Williams '01, C. J. Swan '01 and E. W. Mills '02. Richardson kept ahead easily, and finished in 10m, 4s., without being pushed. Williams fell on the home stretch, and Swan finished second, and Mills third. Both were scratch men. The time for this race is within 3 1-5s. seconds of the Harvard record, made by H. B. Clark '01 in 1899.
