Cowie also set Scottish Native and All-comers records in the 440 yards. Alexander McNeill (Fettes-Loretto) set a Scottish All-comers record in the 120 yard hurdles, and John Harvie (

Kenneth Whitton (St George's FC) in winning the shot put had the longest valid amateur throw in Scotland up to that point but it was never ratified as a record. Whitton later became a Lieutenant Colonel and was Life vice-president of the SAAA until his death in 1947.
