...Mile-Walk - H. H. Bemis, the only contestant, succeeded in making his mile in 6 minutes, 59 1-2 seconds breaking the previous Harvard record of 7 minutes, 1 second, held by E. C. Wright, '86. Bemis walked in excellent form, and his success was the more remarkable on account of a strong east wind, which made good work difficult...
Wright, '86, will probably contest in the mile-walk at the inter-collegiate games this year...
...Manhattan Athletic Grounds next Saturday, when we may look for a "busting of records." In this instance the "busting" will probably be at the wrong end, as the number of our athletes is not astonishingly large, and what few we have are for the most part astonishingly slow.

...this year's fall meetings of the seven colleges mentioned in the table. Neither Harvard nor Princeton will hold any field meeting this fall, so that their records cannot be added to the table. The Columbia records at the 100-yards, 220-yards, 1/4-mile, and 1-mile runs, and the mile-walk, cannot be fairly compared with the performances at the other colleges, as the former were all made by men who had more or less handicap given them. We have omitted the records at the hammer from this table, owing to the fact that hammers of different weights were...
