...must roll down Cambridge street as far as Charles. This car is a great favorite with the "Port gents," Tommy "the pusher," and his gang, so a policeman often rides on the platform as far as the bridge to kindly assist the conductor. In this car "standees" cost ten cents, instead of eight, cash up, no trust. But for pure aesthetic minds the only car to enjoy life in is the half-past four. There you will find yourself surrounded by, and listening to, the conversation of "the litterateurs" of Boston, i. e., the type-setters on the morning papers...
...from Columbia and not one dozen from Harvard were in attendance. The whole number of people attracted from out of town was less than 200, and the New Londoners themselves very generally ignored the show. Exactly 162 tickets were sold to the grand stand, which was constructed at a cost of $1,200, and had a seating capacity for 3,000 people. The direct money loss of the managers is known to have exceeded $500, and is believed by them to have been nearer $800.

At any rate, whatever the advantages in Freshman races as regards rowing...
...time after the class races is not sufficient for preparation if interrupted by the mental inability caused by rowing. Perhaps the most appealing reason to the Freshmen themselves in the favor of our argument is that which is beginning to operate on '83. The race with Columbia cost something like $2,300, of which $1,300 is still unpaid. This shows how hard a race is on the Freshman's pocket, and not only causes him to cut down his personal expenses, but it also deprives the 'Varsity Crew and teams of considerable part of the Freshman quota in subscriptions...
