...apparent upon a little reflection. The prize for the mile-walk was bought with the money subscribed by a club-table, made conditional on eight minutes being equalled. This was the exact time made. An equally handsome cup was offered for the mile-run conditional on 4 m. 55 sec. being made. This time was not made, and the mile cup was provided by the H. A. A. The cup is a very pretty one, but unfortunately it is thrown in the shade by some of the others...
...Athletic Meeting of this college was held on May 29 at Hamilton Park, New Haven, before a small audience. There were few entries, and as several events did not fill, men were allowed to enter at the post. 100-yards, F. W. Brown, '78, S. S., 10 1/4 sec.; running high jump, O. D. Thompson, '79, and Jewett, '79, tied at 5 ft. 2 in.; half-mile, H. Livingston, '79, 2 min. 8 sec., not 2 minutes as reported in our last issue; tug of war, '81; throwing baseball, W. J.

Yonkers. - The Yonkers (N. Y.) Lyceum held its games on June 7: broad jump, A. McNichol, 19 ft. 4 in.; 100-yards school-boys' race, J. F. Jenkins, 11 1/4 sec.; mile-walk handicap, H. B.

Yale. - The Athletic Sports of this college came off, on May 29, at New Haven. F. W. Brown, '78, won the 100-yards dash in 10 1/4 sec, which is wonderfully fast time. H. L. Livingston, '79, won the half-mile run in 2 min. If this time is correct, and the distance run was 880 yards, it is the fastest amateur time in America by some seconds; and we think, although we have not the records at hand just now, that it is very nearly the best amateur time ever made. Mr. Livingston also won the quarter-mile...
...meeting of the Cambridge University Bicycle Club held in the first part of this month near London, Eng., the three-mile race was run in 11 min. 31 sec. Of course this time, although only fair for the other side of the water, was made by men who were thoroughly trained and who rode over a cinder path. When our University Bicycle Club is organized, and a good track has been laid on Holmes or Jarvis, we have no doubt that 11.31 will be equalled and beaten. The race at Beacon Park last week shows that we have the material...
