...field. Holden caught splendidly, and it is much to be regretted that Harvard loses his services in the next game. Alger played an excellent up-hill game, and acquitted himself admirably considering the heavy batting tendencies of the Yale Nine. Howe made one of the finest fly-catches ever seen on a ball field. Hutchison's play at short was the principal feature on the part of Yale; he succeeded in stopping several seeming base-hits, and in sending them over to Hopkins like rifle-balls. Smith played pluckily behind the bat, but was weak in throwing to second...

My aim was merely to show the influence which popular men have over public opinion at Harvard, and the good which they may do by means of that influence.

The distance will be one mile straight-away, instead of one mile and a half with turn, as previously announced. The third race will be for class eight-oared shells, open to all classes and departments...
