...Pennsylvania won the intercollegiate track championship games which were held last Saturday at Columbia Field by scoring a total of 39 points. Princeton was second with 25; Yale third with 20.5; and Harvard fourth with 14. In spite of the rain and a heavy track, A. Grant of Pennsylvania broke his former record in the two mile run by covering the distance in 9m. 51 3-5s. This was the third record broken during the meet, the other two being made in the shot put and the hammer throw. A. C. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania made an individual score...

The great orator returned in triumph, and nominally regained his former influence; but from that time he was really the tool of the triumvirate. More riots now ensued, till at length, in 53 B.C., Clodius was killed by Milo. The latter was exiled and survived his enemy only four years...
...launch was to have followed the crews yesterday afternoon, but had hardly steamed away from her moorings when the high pressure cylinder valve again broke and necessitated her return. She will be repaired in time for rowing this afternoon. The trouble arises from the self-oiling action which becomes clogged with dust, but with a little use this will work without trouble...
...launch was yesterday afternoon taken a short distance down the harbor by Mr. Lawley on a trial trip. She was not pushed for speed, but ran smoothly and well until the tail-head guide of the low pressure cylinder broke and obliged her to return to the yard. This accident was a trifling one and the repairs to be made will be simple, so that she will be ready today for another trial. She will probably be brought up to the boat-house on Monday...
