...Spectator comments on the fact that at Cornell money-prizes are given in the athletic contests. Do the Cornell men expect to be admitted as amateurs at other sports after this? The Era answers that it's none of Columbia's business, and anyhow Cornell never had a postgraduate on her crew, - another delightfully conclusive answer. It may be interesting to some to see what the prizes are worth at Cornell. In the 100-yards dash the prize is $1; 220-yards, $2 ("reduction on taking a quantity"); 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile, $3; 100-yards run (backwards) which...
...records at the pole leaping and throwing the hammer, that each of these events has been competed for only once at our meetings, and the men had then made no preparation at all for them; but with the present inducements offered by the H. A. A., we shall expect to see the hammer thrown much farther than 59 ft. 8 in. on May 22, and can only regret the lack of opportunity for the improvement of the pole leaping record likewise...

BOSTON THEATRE. 7.45 P.M. Matinee, Saturday, at 2. The "Princess Toto" will be continued until further notice. It is a bright comic opera, written by Mr. Frederic Clay; the libretto, by Mr. Gilbert, is clever, as we expect everything from his pen to be. The romantic Princess Toto is afflicted with a complete want of memory; this leads to many curious complications, when she successively runs away with a party of bandits and a band of Indians, and is pursued by Prince Doro and by Caramel, both aspirants to her hand. Miss Braham's acting as the Princess is good...
