...Lathrop improvised a triangular track in front of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory. On this Messrs. Wright, L. S.; Rublee, '90; Brackett, '91; Howe, '91, and Paine, '91, walked a mile, making it in eight minutes, twenty seconds. The walk was merely for practice, no attempe being made to make fast time.

This club stands at the head of all the amateur nines in the country, and is in fact purely amateur, as no pay whatever has ever been given to a player, even for a single game. Many of the members are college-graduates and interest is kept up during the winter by monthly dinners. It used to be said that the club never played two games in a season with exactly...
