A good day'. work, hut not better than the average of what Ewen is capable of doing at any time if in fair condition. At :·tornoway, in 1899, he leared over ::ioft. with lonrr leap, while at Invercarron, in the ·ame year, he threw the light hammer 1 r rfl. 9in., defeatinu- Donah} Ros.· of trath– glas., by the narrow margin of 1 }in. At ...\lva he defeated C. M 'Lean in putting the light ball, making 48ft 11in., and winning first prize. At Dunecht, on ground lightly up hill Ewen again defeated M L an at putting thi · time with a 23lb. ball. Ewen'. putt was 34-ft. 5in., f'Lean r 3in. behind. Throwing a 28lb. weight is one of Ewen's principal feat., and for the last three year: he has :uffered defeat on only one occa~ion. Thi· was al Drumblair, in r 900, and John– :ton, who won, had the small lead of 1 kin. Ewen's best throw with this mis ·ile was made at Had<lo House th year before on ground level to the eye, the distance was 54Ct. 3in. Al the . amc place, with hop, step and leap, Ey;·en was second to Adam Bow~r, a. first-class man, the distance being, Bower 45ft., Ewen 4-.+ft. sin. At high jump and pole vault, Ewen has made 5ft. 6in., and 10ft. 2in. re pectively. With tbe caber he ha: many victories. Three years ago he tied with J ohn~ton for fir~t prize at Alva, and since then ha arried off premier honour: at nearly all the games in the north again:t all corners ex– cept when Johnston competed. As a further xample of l!..wen's putting, we annot do better than refer to this e,·ent at 1-ittybrew ter jn 189 . n ground slightly down hill he made 46ft. 1in. with 16lb. ball, Chisholm wa second with 44Ct., Anderson third, and John ton fourth.
