...three English cricket teams to this country during the present year. The first to come will be Lord Harris's twelve, now playing in Australia. This team will leave that country in April, and will arrive at San Francisco in May, and from that time until the last of June will play through the States and Canada. Its games with the New York and Philadelphia clubs promise to be very interesting. The team plays an American eleven in Philadelphia about the 15th of June. The next team to visit the States will be the amateur eleven of the Lascelles Club...
...late now to persuade the Freshmen to keep away from the Thames course at a time when their presence there may disturb the very delicately balanced arrangements required for the success of the Harvard-Yale race, I most earnestly hope that they may at least consent to name Monday, June 30, as the earliest date for their race. That will allow the Harvard-Yale crews one chance for postponement in case rough water prevents their rowing on the appointed Friday, and will also, in case no such postponement is necessary, allow New London three days in which, like Nicsics...

It is intended that the new plan shall go into operation a year from next June. The Faculty are not to be entirely bound by marks in making these awards...
...previously arranged. Wesleyan already has fifteen man in training. At Princeton and Rutgers there is considerable talk of entering for the same prize, and another possible competitor is the University of Virginia, provided its four-oared crew should win the race at Lynchburg on the last Friday of June. Should the University Eight of Harvard announce their intention to enter, there seems no reasonable doubt that Cornell would at once begin training an eight to meet them, and perhaps Columbia would do likewise; but the entrance of any fourth college is extremely improbable. In Harvard's absence I fear that...
