...companion in the 100 yards, E. H. Wilding, is tall but slight in build. His style is more graceful than Gormer Williams's, but he has not much power, and does not develop any more speed. It is probable that the Yale pair opposed to these two will be Byers and Burnett. In condition, both are good for 10 1-5 seconds, while neither of the Cambridge representatives at their best are better than 10 2-5 seconds. Byers last spring in the Intercollegiates was good enough to lead Crum at eighty yards, and he is now running stronger...
...yards hurdle race, which will be run both upon the grass and upon the cinder path, will be watched with great interest, as, in a measure, deciding the much mooted question of the relative speed of the American and English styles. The English style is on the turf, over hurdles firmly fixed in the ground, which bring the runner to sudden grief, if he comes in contact with them.

...LONDON, CONN., July 19. - Yale and Harvard have done a great deal of hard work on the Thames today, showing that both are in fine condition. The conditions of wind and water were favorable to practice, and the crews spent much time in rowing, both for speed and for improvement of their stroke.

Harvard's work of the past two days has greatly improved the crew's form and the speed of the boat, for it did the course today in faster time than has before been shown. All indications point to a well contested race next week...
...Rough Riders of the World. The horse racing of Cowboys, Mexicans, Arabs, Gauchos, Indians, etc., the sharpshooting of Miss Oakley and Johnny Baker, the exhibition of lassoing by the Mexicans, are but few of numerous exciting and absorbing features. The crowning feature, however, is the sharpshooting, at full speed, of Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill...
