This circuit was covered three times and was provided with a number of jumps and ditches, the final 300 yards being run on a cinder path.

Of the 33 men who started, 31 finished. Jackman of Harvard retired at the beginning of the race on account of a sprained ankle. All of the Cornell men finished in the first twenty-one places, E. T. Newman of Cornell winning the individual championship. At the start Newman took the lead, closely followed by C. Magoffin, also of Cornell, and W. Hail of Yale. Newman maintained his lead throughout the race, finishing in 32 minutes, 52 seconds, which is 23 seconds faster than the time made by W. F. Schutt, of Cornell, last year.
