...STRINGING TENNIS RACKETS.- We have the best thing in this line that has yet been produced-waterproof stringing. Dampness is the great enemy to racket strings and the prolific cause of much looseness and breakage. When treated with our Waterproof Filler the strings become impervious to dampness, and will keep in good condition a much longer time than would be possible otherwise. They can be taken to the seashore or mountains with safety if treated with the Waterproof Filler. We make a specialty of stringing for expert playing, and can guarantee fine work. James W. Brine, 10 and 11 Harvard...
...Bailey was the first gentleman to dispute in favor of the affirmative. He said the respective merits of Harvard and Yale in field and track athletics were materially obscured by the admission of smaller colleges in the league. The financial aspect of the case was of great importance and could not be ignored. Harvard's share of the gate receipts in New York would be minute compared with the returns if the games were played alternately at Cambridge and New Haven.

...most promising candidates, with the exception of the foot-ball men, practised watermanship on the river in the fall. Since then the men have been at work with the rowing machines, the chest-weights and the dumb-bells, and have taken walks and runs out-of-doors. The great trouble is that owing to the many ideas about the stroke during the past five years, it is hard to get the men to row alike. There is also a certain deadness in the rowing which the men cannot seem to overcome. So the work now is almost entirely spent...
