...Cricket Eleven will play a game with the Albions of Boston, next Saturday, on the East Cambridge grounds; wickets pitched at half past ten. The McGill cricketers could not make us a visit on account of the backward state of the season in Canada, precluding all practice; and also because the term of the Medical School, to which the best players belonged, has already closed, and the men have disbanded...
...devotes several pages to records of all the races of Harvard crews from 1865 to October 25, 1873. The races between Harvard clubs before 1865 are not given, because, as the editor says, whatever records of them may have been made cannot now be found.

The Caroline who, at Exeter, so gracefully received her bouquet in the Farce, was hardly recognized, we fancy, as the black bear who received a cabbage in the burlesque. The puns and ridiculous situations that were scattered so profusely through the burlesque relieved the audience of all their accumulated...
...Saturday Review, of April 4, has an article on the Cambridge and Oxford race, which is very interesting, especially so on account of certain criticisms on boating in general and on the system of study in vogue at Cambridge...
