This lead was gradually increased to a margin of three lengths at the finish, just before which the Weld crew spurted. The time was 10 minutes and 24 seconds...

The editorials are timely and pointed, but beside these, the prose in the issue merits little praise...
...with seats of stone concrete seating about 27,000 persons. Within the stadium will be the football gridiron, surrounded by an oval running track 440 yards in length, as well as a straight-away track the finish of which will be in the bow of the horseshoe. The outer wall of the stadium will be of brick, in which at frequent intervals arches will be cut, rorming entrances to the seating benches. Owing to the fact that the entrances to the seats will be from the back of the stadium it will be possible to bring the front seats about...
