International Games T. E. Burke won the one hundred meters and four hundred meters, corresponding very nearly to our one-hundred-yard dash and quarter-mile run. F. E. Lane of Princeton was second in the one hundred meters, a~d H. B. Jamison of Princeton in the four-hundred-meter hurdle race; Ellery Clark won the high jump, with Garrett of Princeton and J. B. Connolly of the Suffolk Athletic Club tied for second place. Clark also won the broad jump, with Garrett second and Connolly third. W. W. Hoyt of Harvard won the pole-vault, Connolly the running bop step and jump, and Garrett tl~e discus-throw and shot-put. There were even rifle and revolver shooting contests, and these were won by two American brothers, sons of General Paine, the yachtsman. A number of individual American athletes competed in English game at this time under various auspices. John Corbin, who won the Mott Haven half mile for Harvard in 1893, entered Balliol College, Oxford, in 1894, and engaged in varsity college sport with some suc– cess. Another Harvard man, J. L. Bremer, inter– collegiate champion and holder of the world's record in the low hurdles, also entered Balliol in 1896, and competed in college sports. The low hurdles were almo t unknown in England, how– ever, and in other events Bremer was not able to attain to his hurdling form. Richard Sheldon
