Mile handicap. Half-mile handicap (sometimes). Quarter-mile handicap. 100 yards handicap. Hurdle race. Sack race. Obstacle race (sometimes). High jump. Long jump. Pole jump. Throwing the cricket-ball. Tug of war. Most of the events are duplicated as "open," or "under five feet," so the programme is a long one. In 1886 the open quarter-mile was run in 62 seconds, and the 100 yards in very good time. The editor of the _Britannia Magazine_ says, however: "The 100 yards was won by Cadet Field, two others being almost neck and neck; the timekeeper was so excited that he gave the time as 10 seconds, which we have reason for doubting." It certainly seems a remarkable feat for lads like these, who do not presumably go in for very extensive training. The high jump was 4 ft. 3-3/4 inches, which is not remarkable; and the long jump 15 ft. 2 ins. Cadet Kennedy won the pole jump with 7 ft. 1 in., which is distinctly good; and the half-mile was won in 2 mins. 35 secs., Cadet Field, the winner of the 100 yards, who was scratch, just failing to carry it off. The following curious editorial comment appears in reference to the long jump:-- "Sharp, jumping very well, won easily: Foord was second, a foot behind him. Williams would have won had he jumped further." There may be some sporting signification in this otherwise somewhat glaringly obvious statement; on the other hand, the editor, who found it necessary at times to be severe, may have been relaxing himself a little. In the cricket season of 1886 nineteen matches were played, with results: Won, 8; lost, 6; drawn, 5. Not as good as 1885, but the season was remarkable for the tremendous average obtained by the professional: 100·9 for 18 innings; the next to him was 15·8! He made 174 not out against the Navy at Plymouth; _Britannia_ scoring no less than 337 for 5 wickets, against their opponents' 83. In 1887, which was a remarkably fine summer, nearly every match came off, returns being played in several instances. Underwood again showed great form, but he failed in the first match, against the Royal Marines; the cadets pulled off the match, however, scoring 68 against 53. These are small scores for such redoubtable teams, and the Marines determined that theirs, at least, should be larger in the return match, in which they reversed the former decision, scoring 197 to _Britannia's_ 81. This was largely due to the fine batting of Lieut. Rait, R.M.L.I., who took out his bat for 119. The following was played on June 1st:-- "BRITANNIA."
