...Parker's" is on School Street in Boston. If you don't know where School Street is, ask a policeman. The Howard Athenaeum may be found any Saturday evening on Howard Street. The reason why the College was located so far away from these places is not known...
...Library. That its advantages have not been fully developed is self-evident from the fact that it has not yet been thrown open to students in the evening as well as during the day.

This accident is much to be regretted, as Wilmer will of course be kept off the cinder-path for the rest of the season, and will not be able to compete against the English amateur sprinters who will soon visit...
