Only three men of the seventy entered failed to appear at the starting line, and shortly after 11 o'clock sixty-seven men were sent away. For the first half-mile the squad kept pretty well together, but from this point on they began to stretch out. At the head of the first loop, a mile and a half from the start, a group of about ten, among whom were Jones, Berna and Withington, were in the lead.

In the preparatory work this year the best showing has been made by the Randolph, Claverly, and Outsiders' crews...
