...soon to begin; on the contrary, now is just the time. As we have said before, the managing editor will be glad to meet any would-be candidates and give them any advice that may be necessary as to subjects, style, or other points. We expect great things from you, ninety-one; let us see whether our expectations will be justified...
Although we may appear to be forcing the season in making a suggestion to the Lawn Tennis Association before the snow on the ground is melted, never-theless it will be but a few weeks before the courts on Holmes and Jarvis will be ready for use. That great inconvenience to players, the absence of backnets, was removed last year, but there is yet one little fault which everyone would be glad to see remedied. It is well known what a bore it is to pay in cash the man who has charge of the courts, for if one does...
...meeting of the H. A. A. on Saturday was a great success, undoubtedly, from an athletic point of view. It was just long enough not to weary the patience of the spectators, and just lively enough to keep them interested.

Brine, 10 and 11 Harvard...
...bout between E. W. Grew, '89, and P. Marquand, ,89, was the most interesting event of the day. Both men seemed to be in good condition, although Grew, perhaps, was trained down too fine. The first round began with very lively sparring, Marquand forcing the fight. He worked a great deal for Greew body while the latter confined his blows to Marquand's head. The round ended in Marquand's favor. In the second round Marquand forced the fight at first, but toward the end fought as the defensive and Grew did the forcing. Grew worked for Marquand's head...
