The accompanying table offers a comparison of the work done on the two
tracks, and will serve as a record of the day's doings. Space prevents

New-Yorkers run a one-mile bicycle race, while the athletes on the other
side of the Bridge cover two miles in that event. And they do not throw

The Yale Interscholastic Tennis Tournament was held in New Haven on the
same date as Harvard's in Cambridge, and although the entries were not
so many from the Connecticut schools, the work of the players was

the championship of Ohio before he came East to attend school at

and overcame Trowbridge only after three stubbornly contested sets, 8-6,
6-2, 6-4. Last year Trowbridge did not compete at Newport, and it is

will change his mind, for it is to the interest of sport that the ablest
players should meet, a
