THE MOTT HAVEN MEETING.

THE fourth annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association took place at Mott Haven, Friday, May 9, and proved a marked success. Mr. Twombley fulfilled the duties of President, while Mr. Curtis acted as Referee, and Mr. Johnson as Starter. Harvard entered E. J. Wendell for the 100-yard race. Lee, University of Pennsylvania, won the first heat in 11 1/8 seconds, and Wendell the second in 10 4/5 seconds, Loney, Princeton, having a walk-over for the third heat. In the final heat, Lee was successful in 10 4/5 seconds, Randolph of Rutgers getting the second place, through Wendell's claim of foul entered against Stewart, College of the City of New York, and allowed by the referee. Wendell was particularly unfortunate in being absolutely pocketed in this race, Stewart dashing in ahead of him, and, together with Loney, completely shutting him out from all chances of first place; and as Wendell is too fine a runner to be contented with second prizes, he withdrew without completing the course. On the part of Loney the foul was unintentional, while on Stewart's part the swerving from his proper course may have been purely accidental, and occasioned by the excitement of the moment; nevertheless, it tended to mar the sport, and spoiled what bid fair to be an exciting race between the two champions. This will probably be the last chance that Lee and Wendell will have to meet in the Intercollegiate Sports, as the former graduates from the University of Pennsylvania this spring. A match for a gold medal is talked about by the friends of both parties, the result of the race to depend on a single heat. It seems advisable, however, to some of Wendell's friends that the trial should be the best two in three heats, as Lee's incomparable way of starting might, in a single heat, be sufficient to give him the victory.

Sayre of Columbia won the mile-walk very easily, in 7 minutes 49 seconds, Emmerich of Lehigh College second, in 7 minutes 56 seconds, and Huidekoper of Harvard third, in 7 minutes 56 1/5 seconds. In this contest, Emmerich's walk was so manifestly unfair from start to finish that it should have been ruled out at an early stage of the race. Huidekoper walked extremely well, and has had very hard luck in being ruled out at the Columbia Sports for running, and in losing the second prize in the Intercollegiate Sports; since to the incompetency of Mr. Bauermeyer, who officiated in Mr. White's absence as judge of walking, must be attributed the fact that Huidekoper did not get a second prize.

The 440-yard dash was won by Cogswell of Dartmouth, Simmons of Harvard running a close second. Simmons's friends claimed a foul, which was not presented to the judges, as Cogswell, the winner, was not the man who interfered with him. Simmons was reported to have made the distance in 52 seconds, and it does appear strange that in the race his time was only 55 seconds, while that of the winner was 54 4/5 seconds.

Lee had a walk-over in the first heat of the 220-yard. Wendell won his heat easily in 25 seconds, and also the final heat in 24 2/5 seconds. Lawson of Columbia won the first heat in the 120-yard hurdle-race in 20 seconds, Cowdin of Harvard winning the second in 19 3/4 seconds, and the final heat easily in 19 2/5 seconds. The other sports worthy of mention were: Throwing the hammer, won by Larkin of Princeton by a throw of 87 feet 1 inch; the running high jump, won by Conover of Columbia by a jump of 5 feet 8 1/4 inches; and the standing broad jump, won by Larkin of Princeton at 10 feet 3 inches, - all three being the best amateur records in America.

Other events were: Standing high jump, Larkin, Princeton, 4 feet 6 3/4 inches; graduate mile-walk, E. J. McIlvane, University of Pennsylvania, 8 minutes 50 4/5 seconds; graduate 100-yard dash, W. Waller, Columbia, 11 1/5 seconds; half-mile run, C. H. Cogswell, Dartmouth, 2 minutes 12 seconds; two-mile walk, R. H. Sayre, Columbia, 16 minutes 49 2/5 seconds; pole aulting, J. B. Waller, Princeton, and F. H. Lee, Columbia, tied at 9 feet.
