...reasons for this failure are attributed as were before by us in the case of our spring meeting; namely, to the fact that the best athletes are engaged in the more important branches of baseball and boating, and are unable to devote their time to anything else. The highest jump was 4 feet 11 inches; the time of the mile run, 4.55 1/4, which was very good time; the hurdle-race was won in 19 sec., and the hundred-yards dash...
...next event on the programme (the one-mile walk) there was only one entry (Mr. G. W. Green, '76), and consequently there was no race, the rules of the Association requiring two contestants in order that there shall be a race.

After much deliberation the prize was awarded to Mr. Brett. The standing high-jump was next in order, and was well contested by Messrs. Hall, '76, Latham, '77, and Martin, '77. Mr. Hall fell out first, and Messrs. Latham and Martin both cleared the rope at four feet seven and a half inches. As neither of the contestants could jump any higher, a tie was declared...
