...TRIALS.There were four teams which actually contested in this event, those of Lafayette, Leigh, Columbia and Harvard. A fifth from St. Johns was ruled out because of an improper belt, and the Pennsylvania team did not turn up. Lafayette made easy work of the Columbias, and the Harvard men had to pull the Leigh team, their old antagonists of a year ago. The result was that at the end our men had pulled fourteen inches away from Lehigh. This left Lafayette and Harvard to contest for the final heat, the last event on the programme...

By the game with Yale we have proved our ability to play a strong and steady game under the strain of intense excitement, and from it we may naturally...
...Smith in the 220-yards. W. J. Bowen in the hammer, G. H. Brewer and M. R. Peck in the broad jump, and E. A. Thompson in the mile run will contest, but they can be debarred from winning prizes by protests made before the events begin, having failed to enter at the right time...
...prize speaking last evening was one of the closest contests which have occurred for years between the compe titors for the Boylston prizes. Although as usual some surprise was manifested at the award of prizes, this surprise has come to be one of the concomitants of our Boylston declamations, and arises rather from a diference of opinion than from any exception to the justice of the award.
