Interscholastic Sports.

The sixth annual championship meeting of the New England Interscholastic Athletic Association was held Saturday afternoon on Holmes Field. The weather was perfect, the track was in fine condition and the records suffered in consequence, six being broken and one equaled. The events were on the whole very closely contested, and the audience was large and enthusiastic. the meeting was smoothly conducted, the waits being, with few exceptions, short, so that all the events but the pole vault were over by half past five; in fact the meeting was an unqualified success from every point of view.

Out of the 326 men entered 135 came to the scratch, representing seventeen schools. These schools and the points won by each were as follows:

Of the events the most exciting were the 220 yards dash, the mile walk, the 120 yards hurdle race and the 100 yards dash. Records were broken in the 440 yards dash, the mile walk, the half mile run, the running high jump, putting the shot, and the pole vault.

The first of the track events was the 120 yards hurdle race, trial heats. In the first heat Codman of Hale's won easily in 18 3-5 sec. with V. E. Mitchell, W. A., second. In the second heat Grew, Hop., and Woodruff, P. A., came in almost together in 19 1-5 sec. Woodruff knocked over the last hurdle. Hurd, Brookline High, won the third heat easily in 18 4-5 sec. with H. S. Davis, Worcester High, second. In the trial for seconds to determine which should run in the finals, Woodruff won in 19 sec., Mitchell second and Davis third.

Next came the trial heats in the 440 yards dash. In the first heat Storrs, R. L. S., took the lead from the start and won in 54 2-5 sec.; Cook, W. A., second and Reynolds, Fall River, third. the second heat was more exciting. The men started well bunched, and on the back stretch W. S. Davis, W. H. S., spurted and took the lead, which he held till the finish. As the men came into the home stretch Deveneck, B. and N., spurted and took second place, but could not win from Davis. Brewer, Hop., ran just hard enough to make third place. Time 57 1-5 sec.

There were five starters in the bicycle race, among whom was Fenner, W A., who made the record of the association last year. The men rode the first half mile with Mitchell, W. A., to set the pace, Fenner trailing him, and Kimball, R. L. S., keeping close to Fenner. At the half, however, Fenner took the lead and held it to the finish. His time was 3 m. 1 45 sec. Kimball kept close to Fenner throughout the race and pushed him hard at the finish but could get nothing better than second place. Prierce, R. L. S, was a good third over Jenkins, Belmont. Mitchell rode himself out in the first half.

In the first trial heat of the 100 yards dash Davis, Hop., won in 10 4-5 sec. with Blossom, R. L. S., second. In the second heat Jackson, B. and N., won easily over Clark, Belmont, in 11 1-5 In the third heat Pavson, No., beat Smith, B. and N., in 11 1-5 sec. The fourth heat was won by Billings, W. H. S., in 10 4-5 sec. with Clark, E. H. S., second. In the trial heats for second men, Blossom won in 10 45 sec.

The finals in the 120 yards hurdle was very close, the first three men coming over the last hurdle almost together. Codman won in 18 2-5 sec. and Woodruff took second place from Grew, who fell just after jumping the last hurdle, but recovered himself in time to win third over Hurd, who had fallen earlier in the race.

In the final heat of the 440 yards dash Brewer had things all his own way and won by 10 yards in 53 2-5 sec. beating his own record by 4-5 sec. Second place went to Storrs by a pretty spurt on the very stretch. Reynolds took third.

The finals in the 100 yards dash came next, and were so close that daylight could not be seen between the first three men. Jackson was the winner in 10 4-5 sec. Dove was second and Billings third.

In the first trial heat of the 220 yards dash Storrs, R. L. S., won easily in 23 45 sec. Jameson, R. L. S., was second. Dove, Hop., won the second heat in 24 sec. with Woodruff, P. A., second. Jackson, B. and N., took the third heat without a struggle and came in looking at the second man, Hitch of Milton, in 24 2-5. Denholm, W. H. S., won the fourth heat in 24 2-5 sec. with Bullard, E. H. S., second. In the trial heat for second men Woodruff won in 24 sec.

In the mile walk McLaughlin, W. H. S., took the lead at the start. By the half mile mark he was thirty yards ahead of the second man, but after that Norton, Hop., began to cut down his lead inch by inch till, as they entered the home stretch, there was scarcely fifteen feet between them; but McLaughlin was too strong for him and finished first in 7 m. 36 1-5 sec., beating the old record by 20 1-5 sec. Johnson, W. A., was third.

Batchelder, R. L. S., broke the record of 2 m. 10 1-5 sec. by 2 2-5 sec. in the half mile run, leaving the field well in the rear from the start. His first quarter was done in 1 m. 2 1 5 sec. W. S. Davis, W. H. S., was second, and Hallowell, Hop., third by a plucky spurt at the finish.

The finals in the 220 yards dash were the most exciting event of the day, for the other events were all decided but the pole vault, and the 220 yds. dash would decide which school was to win the cup. The men were nearly even at the grand stand, but in the last 40 yds. Storrs, R. L. S., and Dove. Hop., drew away from Jackson, B. and N., and Storrs won by about 6 in. in 23 3-5 sec., equaling the record. Storrs had already run two hard heats in the 1-4 mile, and one in the 220 yards dash, so the this last performance was really remarkable.

In the field events the first was throwing the base ball, which was won by V. E. Mitchell, W. A., who threw 330 ft. 3 in. Mahoney, E. H. S., was second, throwing 307 ft. 4 in. Russell, All., third, 301 ft. 11 in.

The running jump was won by Sheldon, P. A., with a jump of 5 ft. 5 3 4 in., beating the former record by 3-8 in. Dibblee, B and N., jumped 5 ft. 5 in., and Borden, F. R. H., tied with Codman, Ha., for third place at 5 ft. 4 in., and divided the point. Borden won the medal by toss.

Mahoney, E. H. 8., made a new record of 32 ft. 6 1 2 in. in putting the 16 lb. shot. Driscoll, B. H. S. took second place with a put of 31 ft. 9 1-2 in., and Vaughan, B. and N., third, with 31 ft. 5 in.

In the running broad jump, Rice, No., won, jumping 19 ft 11 in, Dove, Hop., was second with 19 ft. 8 1-2 in., and Driscoll. B. H. S., was third with 19 ft. 3 1-2 in.

In the hammer throwing, (12 lbs.) Russell, Belmont, won, with a throw of 85 ft. 3 3-4 in., and Driscoll, B. H. S., third with 81 ft. 9 in.

In the pole vault, Hoyt, R. L. S., and Jenkins, No., tied for first place, with a score of 9 ft. 9 1-4 in., beating the former record by 2 1-2 in, They divided the points and tossed for the 1st prize Hoyt winning. Dunning, R. L. S., was third with a vault of 9 ft., 5 1-2 in.

Brewer, Hop., tore a muscle in his leg in the finals of the quarter-mile, thus losing to his school first place in the running broad jump, in which he holds the record of 21 ft. 6 in. He might also have won the 220 yards dash, as he holds the record in that event too.
