...experienced men in the two-mile bicycle race. Haseltine, '88, Merrill, '90, and Slade, '90, are riding, and may make good men. Dana, L. S., and Gibson, '88, are putting the shot and throwing the hammer. Both are doing good work. Hunter, '89, is also putting the shot with fair success. Treat, L. S., Brewer, '88, C. N. Cogswell, '88.

...freshman crew is a new one. It was inaugurated by the present junior class, and the sophomore class followed in the steps of its predecessor. '90 has been not a whit behind and has worked hard and faithfully to give the public an exhibition which bids fair to surpass that of previous years. It is to the credit of the freshmen that they have not been deterred by the difficulties to be overcome in preparing this concert, but have persevered and conquered every obstacle. Every one of the class of '90 ought to buy one or more tickets to this...
