...first event was a one-mile run, in which A. L. Lowell, '77, and C. James, '79, were the only starters. James took the lead, and kept in advance until the end of the second quarter, when he was passed by Lowell, who won the race in 5 min. 2 1/2 sec.

The game was very exciting, and well played, comparatively few errors being made, while the batting was above the average. The Tauntons took the lead in the first inning and kept it until the fourth, when the score was even; from this time until the last man was out it was anybody's game. On our side Tower and Leeds distinguished themselves both at the bat and in the field; Wright and Thayer played with but one error each, and Tyng showed...
