...with six horses fastened to its solid irons. Inside and out it was covered with the most tastefully, correctly and historically costumed men in the whole parade. The guard and coachmen were dressed in long surtouts of brown pleated stuff, and the former bore an immense horn which he blew at intervals. The passengers of the coach were students and gentlemen of the period, artisans, and a lady. The costumes, with their flowered brocades, powdered wigs and delicate ruffles, mingled with the quaint leather garb of the artisans, made a most pronounced hit. The coach was labeled "1750: Cambridge, Roxbury...
About a hundred spectators, chilled by the rain, and numbed by the cold wind which blew across Jarvis Field, stood for thirty-five minutes Saturday afternoon to see Harvard beat Dartmouth.

Saturday was a clear, cold day, and the spectators who gathered on Holmes in the afternoon to witness the athletic sports, were put to as great a test of endurance as the men who contested the various events.

The track, however, was in excellent condition, and had the weather been more favorable, records would doubtless have been broken. The number of entries was unusually large, and many of the events were closely contested...
