There was a rumor that Newell would furnish a surprise in the mile run, and break the record by several seconds, and he probably would have done this if he had run with more judgment.

Thrall, the mile walker, has broken the the collegiate record of 7 min. 6 sec., and the fact that the American champion, Liebgold, has entered in the games next week will give Thrall a chance to show his best work.
