The Fall Meeting of the Athletic Association.

The raw wind that swept across Holmes Field last Saturday promised anything but good sport in the events to be contested, and kept the 200 spectators, among whom were a few ladies, in anything but a comfortable condition. At 2.45 the first event was called This was the first heat of the

100 YARDS DASH-FIRST HEAT,in which were entered Brandt, '85, Billings, '85, Norton, '85, and Buck, '87. The only men to appear were Billings and Norton, who merely trotted over the distance to save their positions in the final heat. No time was taken.

100 YARDS-SECOND HEAT.Of the entries in this heat, Bradley, '86, Rogers, '87, Garnett, '87, and Porter, '88, only Garnett failed to appear. The event was won by Porter, in 10 1-2 seconds, with Bradley a good second.

100 YARDS-FINAL HEAT.This event was very gamely run, resulting in a victory for Porter, in the creditable time of 10 1-4 seconds; Bradley, second; Norton, third; and Billings, fourth. Porter's handicap was 2 yards.

ONE MILE RUN.Out of six entries in this event there were only five starters, Dana, '88, Brandt, '85, Austin, '87, and Thompson, '87. The men finished in this order; the winner receiving 100 yards, and covering his distance in 5 minutes 6 1-2 seconds. Austin failed to understand the signal, and was obliged to throw off his overcoat after the pistol was fired for the start. Thompson was not running in his usual form, and withdrew on the final lap.

THE SHOT.The field of eight entries which appeared on the programme was rather slimly represented by only three contestants. Chamberlain, 86, Pennypacker, '88, and Boyden, '85. The event was won by the former, who covered 33 feet 9 inches from the scratch.

RUNNING BROAD JUMP.As an exception to the run of things, this event was contested by all the original entries. Fogg, '85, jumping from scratch, covered 19 feet 7 1-2 inches, beating Peck, '88, and Brewer, '88, who jumped 19 feet 1 inch, and 18 feet 6 inches, respectively.

220 YARDS DASH.Four men ran this distance out of the six who entered, the race being won by Porter, '88, in 23 seconds, his handicap being 5 yards, Rogers, '87, Norton, '85, and Penrose, '86, finished in the order named.

ONE MILE WALK.A walk-over for Bemis, '87. This result was unfortunate, for Bemis has been showing good form this fall, and might reasonably been expected to exhibit fast time.

THE HAMMER.Won by Amory, '88, with a throw of 63 feet 3 inches; the winner receiving 13 feet, handicap. Paine, '88, took second place with a throw of 61 feet 1 1-2 inches, handicap, 15 feet.

THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP.Contested by Fogg, '85, scratch; Bancroft, '88, and Honore, '88. The scoreboard showed 5 feet 3 3-4 inches for Fogg, 4 feet 11 inches for Honore, who received 5 inches.

120 YARDS HURDLES.A walkover for Bradley, '86; the event having only two entries originally, and Lund, 88, failing to appear.

HALF-MILE RUN.An easy victory for Hale, '88, who received a liberal margin of 40 yards, over Brandt, '85, in 2 minutes 8 2-5 seconds.

POLE VAULT.Won by Frothingham, '86, over Goodhue, '88, with a vault of 6 feet 6 inches.

QUARTER-MILE RUN.First, Churchill, '86, with a handicap of 10 yards, in 56 4-5 seconds, Mygate, '86, Davidson, '88, finishing next in the order named.

TWO MILE BICYCLE RACE.This was the last event of the meeting, and the most exciting. The contestants were F. F. Deane, '88, and J. A. Bailey, '88. The latter received a handicap of 350 yards, but was beaten by two feet, in 7 minutes 7 1-2 seconds. The gentlemen in charge of the meeting were the following: Referee, Mr. H. B. Cabot; Judges, Messrs. W. M. Burr, A. C. Denniston, H. W. Preble.

Through an oversight Mr. Root, '85, and Mr. Davidson, '85, were not informed of the change made in the programme of Saturday's meeting as published in the CRIMSON, and both consequently arrived too late for the mile run. After the meeting Mr. Root ran a mile in 5.5 1-2, thus beating the record made at the meeting.
