HARVARD ATHLETIC GAMES.

The games held under the auspices of the Harvard Athletic Association last Saturday were good, but can be by no means compared to last year's meeting. A heavy shower which fell at two o'clock somewhat dampened the ardor of the many spectators who had begun to gather. At half past two the benches were filled with spectators,-many ladies among them, who braved the two showers which fell during the progress of the games and remained until the end. The events were held in the following order:

THROWING THE HAMMER.Four men entered for this event, all of whom came to the scratch, namely, A. L. McRae, S. S., E. E. Allen, '84, J. J. Roberts, '86, D. B. Chamberlain, '86. The throwing was somewhat wild, and after a prolonged contest the first place was gained by Allen, '84, with a throw of 80 feet, and McRae a fair second, with 75 feet, 10 inches. While the hammer was thrown the

100 YARDS DASHwas run. The contestants were, W. Baker, '86, F. S Billings, '85 and E. H. Rogers, '87, who, after several false starts, got off squarely and finished in the order above given, Baker taking the lead easily in the race and holding it well. Billings and Rogers ran side by side, but at eighty yards Billings worked ahead and came in four or five yards after Baker, with Rogers a good third. Baker's time was 10 1-8. Next in order came the

120 YARDS HURDLE RACE,contested for by S. Abbott, '87, G. R. Agassiz, '84, J. D. Bradley, '86, and S. Cary, '86. The men got off all right at the second trial and Agassiz took the lead, but fell badly at the third hurdle. He picked himself up and ran on. Cary also tripped, and as he injured his leg did not continue the race. Bradley, who had taken the lead after Agassiz's fall, easily held it and came in first with Abbot a bad second. The winner's time was 19 1-4 seconds.

RUNNING BROAD JUMP.F. B. Fogg, '85, L. Lincoln, '86, and W. A. Henry, L. S., appeared on the field and both Fogg and Henry overstepped the mark on the first trial. Fogg jumped correctly at the next trial and managed to cover 19 feet 6 inches, which the other contestants failed to reach, leaving Fogg the winner, with Henry second.

1-4 MILE RUN.F. W. White, '85, and O. A. Mygatt, '87, toed the mark and got off well together. White passed Mygatt at the 40-yard post and rapidly drew away, finishing 20 feet in front of Mygatt, in 53 1-2 seconds, Mygatt's time being 56 1-2 seconds.
