The Usual Finish.

The high jump was a most exciting contest. Hackett, the champion, couldn't go on because the got water on the knee or something. But McIntosh, who hadn't had any beer at all, was all right, so he won it. He had to beat some others, of course, but that was the easiest part.

After, seeing Howden dead-heat with Boot in the relay, we went home the longest way and had a breakdown just near a hotel. We found two million people there who'd had a breakdown, too, so we didn't feel lonely. Not that that would have mattered.

It was, we subsequently decided, a very fine athletic meeting. This was, of course, after the breakdown had been fixed up.
