...supposed that H. Smith, N. B. C. C., 50 yds., would win readily over R. H. Davis, scratch. At first it looked as if the race was between H. D. Hutchins, 100 yds., and Smith. Davis did not seem to gain much, while Smith readily overtook the leaders. During the third and fourth laps Davis gained steadily and at the end of the third he and Smith passed Hutchins and Drummond.

Wheeler, '86, (90 yards). Baker did not run well, and although he overtook Blossom, Wheeler won the race by about 12 yards. Wheeler's time was 1m. 59 s., Baker's 2m. 5 1-2s.
