HARVARD WINS THE MILE.

Harvard won the mile relay race in Philadelphia on Saturday in 3 minutes, 21 2-5 seconds, breaking the previous intercollegiate record by 1 4-5 seconds and equaling the world's record made in 1897 by the New York Athletic Club team composed of Long, Lyons, Burke and Wefers. In the two and four mile championships Harvard finished second and fourth respectively. The championship relay events were equally divided, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Yale each winning one event. With the exception of a strong south wind the day was a good one for running.

THE MILE RACE.

In the mile championship Schick by a quick start and fast running obtained the lead and held it until turning into the stretch, when Moulton of Yale closed up on him and the two struggled for first place, Moulton finally winning by two yards. Clapp increased the lead over Lightner to about ten yards, holding it until he entered the stretch where Lightner on a sprint closed up the distance and finished only a yard behind. Willis took the third quarter and made the fastest time for Harvard. On the back stretch by a remarkable spurt he passed Hunter of Yale and maintained the lead to the end, finishing about four yards ahead of the Yale man. This lead was increased by Rust, the fourth relay, to eight yards. Long of Yale caught up with him on the back stretch and the two came round the turn together. About thirty-five yards from the tape Rust by a supreme effort forged gradually ahead and won by about three yards. The times made by each Harvard man follow: Schick, 50 1-5s.; Lightner, 50 4-5s.; Willis, 49 4-5s.; Rust, 50 3-5s.

The time of the race by quarter-miles was: 1/4  1/2  3/4  MILE. 49 4/5s.  1m. 40 4/5s.  2m. 30 3/5s.  3m. 21 2/5s.

THE TWO-MILE RACE.

At the start of the two-mile, Boynton, Baker of Columbia and Smith of Pennsylvania remained close together. In the second quarter, Smith took the lead with Boynton a close second and Baker third. On the back stretch Boynton attempted to pass Smith, who increased his speed and finished two yards in the lead. From then on Columbia was practically out of the race. Gill started the second relay for Pennsylvania and Adams for Harvard. The two remained together almost throughout the half-mile. Gill, however, by a spurt finished almost fifteen yards ahead of Adams. DuBois, who was pitted against Pennsylvania's fastest man, Klahr, was unable to diminish the lead so that when Behr started on the relay for Harvard he was fully twenty yards behind Orton of Pennsylvania. Behr could not gain any on Orton and the last relay finished almost as it began. The time by half-miles follows 1/2  1  1 1/2  2 2m. 1 3/5s.  4m. 4 2/5s.  6m. 2 3/5s.  8m. 4 4/5s.

The four-mile relay was an easy victory for Yale who took the lead at the start and kept it throughout the entire race. Wisconsin pressed Yale hard at times, but was never able to take the lead. At the end of the first relay Foster who finished last was nearly twenty-five yards behind the winner. Grew did not gain in the second relay. In the third relay Buffum lost more ground and when Mills started on the fourth relay he was about three-quarters of a lap behind the others. He slightly diminished the distance between himself and the winner.
