Geo, Coorer, west of this city a few miles. All of the limbs of the colt were perfect except one of the fore legs. , From.the knee down one of the forelegs waa double, although the same skin covered both sets of bones. A short distance above the hoof joint the leg divided and ended in two hoofs, each perfect. One hoof stood about as it should, but the ' other '. turned in and ' slightly I back. From , a - practical . stand point the coit would never be any account, ns it could not be worked to advantage. There was a remote possibility that it might have been sold for exhibition purposes to some aggregation, desiring a freak, . but the chances for doing so were so re mote that the colt was killed, was a most decided victory for OAC, the score being 78 to 44.

This is as it should be; if a man is not eligible, do not ad mit him; if you have rules, ad here to them strictly.

In the half-mile run the northwest record" of 2 minutes, 3 3-5 secondsi was broken by Greenhaw, of OAC, who made it in a minutes, 2 1-5 seconds. In .the relay race OAC's team broke the northwest record, mat mg 'the mile in 3:33. ' The Eu gene men were not in it at anv stage of the game in this event, he quaiter-mile was not allow ed as it was claimed that Green- haw fouled Veatch, a Eugene runner.
