expected between J. M. Southcott,
manager of the Times mechanical de-
partment and Secretary of the local
Y. M. C. A., and Lloyd Godwin, son
of Iter. Godwin. of Parkhill. In this
the spectators were not disappointed'
ns it was a close race, Southcott
winning by the narrowest margin„
especially the second heat, when he
struck the tape but a few inches
nhead of his opponent. Dr. Routs -
ton .who had faithfully trained the
winner for this event started the run-
ners and they sprinted nip and tuck
the entire distance. In the first heat
Godwin got away first and had a
slight advantage at 95 yards, but in
the short distance remaining South-
cott, with an extra burst of speed,
managed to forge ahead, twinning by

EOn Stanlake, of Sodom, also entered
in this race, but failed to finish, the
other runners hying too speedy for

In the second heat Godwin got in

Exeter's crack runner soon captured
hits and the race era, neck and neck
to within a few feet of the finish-
ing line, when Godwin again went
in the lead. It was thought he: would
take this heat, but Melville again got
in one of his sensational finishes and
hit the tape first by the narrowesb
margin possible. Some thought it
was a dead heat, but the judge claim-
