The third annual meeting of the Interscholastic Association under the auspices of the B. A. A. Saturday afternoon was a success in every particular. The attendance was unusually large and the enthusiasm manifested in the several events was boundless. Five new Interscholastic records were made: the 300 yards run, 250 yards hurdle, lowered by one-fifth of a second, 10-pound shot, lowered by 2ft. 4 1-2 in., running high kick, lowered by 7 1-4 in. The best record-breaking performance of the afternoon was made by W. J. Batch-elder, B. A. A. Jr., who lowered the record of 2 m. 32 2-5 sec. for the 1000 yards by three seconds.

Hopkinson School came out victorious, scoring 23 points and thus won the silver shield for the ensuing year. Roxbury Latin was second with 19 points, and Brookline High came third with 10 points. The most interesting race of the day was the mile team race between Hopkinson and Roxbury Latin. Roxbury was ahead at the end of the first quarter, but later the Hopkinson boys forged ahead and won handily.

Those of the victorious Hopkinson team who will enter Harvard this fall are W. Monroe, who won the half-mile walk in fine style; H. S. Grew, who won his heat and got second in the final of the 250 yards hurdle; C. J. Paine, who got second in the high kick; while J. Shea, the winner of the shot-putting contest and C. H. Brewer, brother of the foot ball captain and winner of second prize in the 300 yards run will enter Harvard in the class of '97. The Roxbury Latin winners who will be Harvard men this fall are J. W. Edson, who won the 300 yards run; M. D. Dunning, who captured second in the pole vault, and A. W. Blakemore, the second man in the 1000 yards. G. L. Smith, B. & N., the winner of second in the 40 yards dash, will undoubtedly be seen in the freshman sprints this fall.
