kind of material to win medals. Out of eleven events the English won only three and one of those by a scratch. In the 100 yard race Yale won easily, and also in the 300 yard race, but in the $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile and mile race John Bull carried off the honors. In the quarter of a mile dash the English won by a line, but I think the race would have been Yale's if the contestants had run twenty feet more.
In the hurdle races the English also lost. It seems that the English are accustomed to running their hurdle races on turf while Yale as well as other American sprinters are accustomed to running on the cinder track in consequence of which there were two kinds of hurdle races. On the turf to suit the English, and one on the pavement to suit the Americans. It was expected that each would win at their own game, but Yale won both races.
In the broad jump Yale won with ease, also in putting the hammer and shot. One noticeable feature in the putting of the hammer was that Cambridge used a thirty-foot ring while Yale used only a ten foot ring.
Ten and one-fifth seconds was the time made in the one hundred yard race, and had it been necessary the Yale man could have made it in ten seconds. The whole thing was a one sided affair. Cambridge was out-classed from the start. Next year Yale will send representatives to England."
From Miss MacKinnon.
The following extract is taken from a private letter from Miss Annie L. MacKinnon, written from Weggis, near Luzern, Switzerland, Sept. 7th,'95.
"There has been here quite a party of K. S.U. people once K.S.U.always K.S.U., is it not so?—Prof. and Mrs.Bailey and son, and Prof.Nichols and family and myself make up the party. It has been a real pleasure to me to see some one direct from Lawrence and to talk over the University and its people.
"I am here with a student friend—also a mathematical young woman—for the sake of a change of life and scenery. We spend the forenoons in study and the afternoons in play.
We have rented rooms, and often congratulate ourselves that we can live here among these much visited lakes and mountains as inexpensively as in quiet, monotonous little Göttingen. Our windows and a little balcony (which is our special joy) overlook the lake and these beautiful mountains. I have been living my William Tell days over again—have seen the Tell chapel near Flüelin and also the one by the Hohle Gasse, and the new monument at Altdorf we visited on the day of its unveiling. Before settling down in Weggis we made a week's walking tour through the Berneroberland and Unterwalden, and since then we have had a number of shorter excursions."
On this last point, she says at another place: "There is one German custom which I particularly admire-it is the fashion of taking long walks, of going off into the country on foot, of climbing hills for the pleasure and healthfulness of it-and of doing this often and in all sorts of weather. I have some German friends and American friends with whom I indulge in this most delightful exercise. The poor K. S. U. hill which has been so often berated should have been in Germany to be appreciated."
