Manhattan Games.

The Harvard men who went to New York on Saturday in the hopes of seeing some game running were not disappointed, but none of their favorites obtained a place in any of the events. The games were held in the old Madison Square Garden on an eight lap track, not in the best of condition, making any longer straight dash than 70 yards impossible. Wendell Baker, who had entered in the 250 and 440 yards, was unable to run on account of a sprained ankle, thus disappointing his many friends; but Mr. Wells ran a tremendous race in the 250 yards, he being the scratch man against a field of fifteen, all carrying large handicaps; he won his heat in the very fast time of 27 1-5, but in order to save himself for the 440, did not run in the final heat. In the 440 if he had begun spurting a little sooner he would have again won in spite of the large field and heavy handicaps against him; in this, his time was 58 2-3, a remarkable fast time, considering the smallness of the track. In the mile walk, Messrs. Bemis and Lord, although walking very fast and in very good times, were unable to overcome their heavy handicaps sufficiently to gain a place. Mr. Bemis had the gratification of beating his old rival, Ware, of Columbia, however. During the evening, Myers ran an exhibition 440 in 56 2-3, and Geary, ex-champion of England, ran an exhibition mile in 4-58 1-2. In spite of the almost unfair handicapping against them Harvard's delegates made a most creditable struggle, and the college ought to be proud of them.
