The next event, which is of interest to Harvard men, was the pole-vault, which was won also by T. G. Shearman. He broke the Yale record with a vault of 10 feet 3 1-2 inches. Harvard's best record this year is but 9 feet 3 1-2 inches. The meeting was closed with sparring and fencing contests, which are of none but local interest...
