The programme, which we give below in full, is divided into two parts; one for college men only, the other for all amateurs. Gold and silver medals will be given for all the events, except the tug-of war, for which sets of colors will probably be the prizes. The college events are: I-mile walk, 1/2-mile run, 75-yards dash, I-mile run, 1/4-mile run, 220-yards hurdle, and tug-of-war (teams of four men each...
