Interscholastic Sports.

The seventh annual championship meeting of the New England Interscholastic Athletic Association was held yesterday afternoon on Holmes Field. The weather was as nearly perfect as could be desired, and the track was in the best of condition. Four records were broken, a new record was established, and nearly all of the events were closely contested. The audience was quite large, numbering over 800, and was very patient whenever any waits occured. On the whole the meeting was conducted with great dispatch, the last event being finished by five o'clock. Thirteen schools succeed in winning a place, and the point won by each were as follows:

1st. 2ds. 3rds Total p.

Hopkinson's, 5 5 3 38

Brookline High, 5 1 1 28

Worcester High, 2 3 2 18

Roxbury Latin, 1 1 0 7

English High, 1 0 0 5

Chauncey Hall, 0 1 2 4

Allen's, 0 1 1 3

Noble's, 0 1 0 2

Browne & Nichols', 0 0 2 2

Belmont, 0 1 0 2

Boston Latin, 0 0 1 1

Milton, 0 0 1 1

Dalzell's, 0 0 1 1

As will be seen by this disposition of the points, Hopkinson's school takes first place, and, and the cup for the year, with Brookline High a close second. Roxbury Latin takes a drop from first to fourth place, and Worcester Academy, third last year, fails to score. Brookline High's work was very creditable, raising them from eleventh place to second.

The four records broken were in the one mile bicycle race, putting the shot, throwing the hammer, and in the pole vault. B. Hurd, Jr., B. H. S., equalled the record made by himself last year in the 120 yards hurdle race, while a record was established for the 220 yards hurdle race.

The first of the track events were the trial heats in the 100 yards dash, of which there were four. In the first heat there were four starters, and B. Hurd, Jr., B. H. S., won easily in 10 4-5 seconds, with G. T. Collins second. The second heat was won by G. H. Lane, B. H. S., in 11 4-5 seconds, J. T. Clark, R. L. S., second. M. Gross, W. H. S., won the third heat in 10 4-5 seconds, J. B. Chase, Jr., Allen's, second. The fourth and last heat, was won by J. F. Driscoll, B. H. S., in 11 2-5 seconds with R. Spaulding, Hopkinson's, second.

Only four men started in the 120 yards hurdle race. B. Hurd, Jr., B. H. S., won again without any trouble, in 18 seconds, equalling his own record of last year. H. E. Field, W. H. S., and R. H. Stephenson ran a dead heat, and in the run-off Stephenson won in 18 4-5 seconds, in a very pretty race.

The bicycle race was one of the prettiest races of the afternoon. Fenner, of Worcester Academy, who held the record in this event, failed even to get a place. A. B. Holmes, Hopkinson's, won after making a fine spurt on the last lap, in 2 minutes, 54 2-5 seconds, breaking the previous record of 3 minutes, 1 2-5 seconds. Walker, C. H. S., pressed him hard for second place, with Wheelock Dalzell third.

The second round, in the 100 yards dash, had four starters and was won by G. T. Collins. M. A., in 11 seconds, with R. Spaulding a very close second.

The 440 yards dash was run in one heat, there being seven starters, C. Brewer, the holder of the record, among them. The men started off at a fair pace, and for three quarters of the way ran like flock of sheep, all in a bunch. C. Brewer took the lead at the Carey building and finished first without even running, in 54 seconds. E. S. Hill, Belmont, came second, with C. F. Duveneck, B. and N., third.

Seven men started in the mile walk. McLaughlin, W. H. S., led for the first quarter, with W. Munro, Hopkinson's, second. The order was the same at the end of the half mile, with C. W. Norton, Hopkinson's, in third place. On the third lap Norton pulled ahead to first place and set the pace for Munro and McLaughlin. On the last lap McLaughlin made a beautiful spurt and finished first in 7 minutes, 57 3-5 seconds, with Norton second, and Munro third.

B. Hurd, Jr., B. H. S., won the final heat of the 100 yd. dash without great difficulty in 10 4-5 seconds, with M. Grass, W. H. S., second, and G. T. Collins third.

Again Hurd had an easy time in the 220 yards hurdle race, establishing in this event a record of 28 1-5 seconds. F. H. Bigelow, W. H. S., finished second, with H. S. Grew, Hopkinson's, third.

Three heats were run in the two hundred and twenty yards dash, with five starters in the first and four, in the other two. This was one of the prettiest events of the afternoon. In the first heat, C. N. Smith, B and N., took the lead at the start and finished first, with S. M. Lane second. C. Brewer, Hopkinson's, lead the entire way in the second heat and finished first, looking at the second man, M. Grass, W. H. S. F. H. Bigelow, W. H. S., took third easily. The final heat was won by C. Brewer, Hopkinson's, in a very pretty raoe in 23 4-5 seconds, with F. H. Bigelow second, and C. S. Smith Jr., third.

The 880 yards run was the last track event of the afternoon. There were thirteen starters which necessitated a double line. M. P. Whitall, Dalzell's, started pretty strongly and led all the way for the first lap, with W. S. Davis, W. H. S., pushing him harrd for second place, with A. H. Brewer third. On the last lap Davis forged ahead foot by foot until he led, Whitall dropped back to third place with Brewer second. Davis kept up his lead, and won in 2 minutes and 10 1-5 sec.

The field events had been keeping so lively a pace with the track athletics that very shortly after the finals in the 220 yards dash, the broad jump was finished. The usually long and tedious base ball throwing was the first event in this part of the programme. C. J. Paine, Hopkinson's took first with a throw of 332 feet 11 1-2 inches. G. Russell, Allen, came second, and F. J. Zoeden, third.

C. J. Paine also took first in the high jump clearing the bar at 5 feet 2 1-2 inches. with F. Holt, R. L. S., second, at 5 feet 2 inches and W. E. Putnam, Jr., third, at 5 feet 1-2 inch.

The record in putting the 16-pound shot was broken by the holder of that record, G. A. Mahoney, E. H. S., with a put of 35 feet 2 inches. J. Shea, Hopkinson's, came second with a put of 34 feet, 8 1-2 inches, and J. F. Driscoll, B. H. S., third.

In the final of the running broad jump four men tied for first place. Brewer, who holds the record of 21 feet, 6 inches, was too tired from his previous work to do better than second place. J. F. Driscoll, B. H. S., came first with a jump of 19 feet 9 inches and Brewer second with a jump of nineteen feet 3 inches. W. R. Knight, Allen's, took third.

The record was broken in throwing the hammer by J. F. Driscoll, who threw 91 feet 4 inches, the previous record being 88 feet, 8 1-2 inches. H. S. Russell, Hopkinson's, came second with a throw of ninety feet, 11 1-2 inches, and J. Shea, Hopkinson's, third.

The pole vault record was also broken by W. W. Hoyt, R. L. S., who made a record of 10 feet, the previous one being his own record of last year, 9 feet, 9 1-2 inches. G. E. Atherton, Noble's, came second, and W. E. Putnam Jr., C. H. S., third.

Shea, of Hopkinson's, made a protest over the ruling of the field judges, which was made to protect the timers and judges at the tape, and was to the effect that no throws should be made in the direction of the track. The committee will consider the protest.
