...pound hammer, handle 3 ft. 6in. The best throw was in the six trial, when he sent the hammer 116 ft. 4 in., beating all amateur and professional records. The next trial was with a 16 pound hammer, handle 3 ft. 6 in. He failed to break the record, 99 ft. 7 in., in the first five trials, but in the sixth he made the maguificent throw of 100 ft. 5 in. The record for throwing the 21-pound hammer with a handle four feet long was made by Queckberner about a week ago with a throw...
...fifth hare and hounds run of the season was held yesterday afternoon. The hounds won for the first time this year. It was a fast hunt; that is, there was no break and the hounds were not required to keep together.

They arrived at the gymnasium at 4.55, after a hard run of twelve miles. Twelve hounds started...

This, of course makes the fast hunt the easier of the two, as a man is not obliged to keep with the crowd, but can set his own pace in harmony with his own strength. The hares in today's run will be C. A. Davenport...
...third hare and hound run of the season was held yesterday afternoon. The hares, Seelye, '88, and Priest, '91, laid a good cross-country trail to Belmont, returning by way of Fresh Pond.

The first hound in was Gorham, '90, followed by H. A. Davis, '91. Cups will be given to the hares and the first hound...
