MILE WALK.He started off in beautiful form and by square heel and toe work managed to get over the first lap in 1 minute, 48 seconds. The second lap compelled him to slacken his speed a little, and was walked in 3.45, the third in 5.44, and the fourth in 7.37 1-4, three and a quarter seconds above the Harvard record. Bemis' style of walking is excellent, and he ought by no means to feel discouraged at his failure to break the record, as the rain went far towards slackening his speed. As Bemis finished his last lap...
...Walker, '84, A. E. Strong, '85. W. Austin, '87, G. F. Davidson, '85, W. C. Fish, '86, and W. A. Henry, L. S. Shortly after the start Henry took the lead, but Davidson soon passed him and the men ran one after the other for the first lap, when Austin dropped out. On the second lap Walker, who held third place, passed Henry and followed closely in Davidson's foot-steps. At the end of the third lap Fish and Henry dropped out and left only Davidson and Walker. Davidson was passed by Walker on the last time around. Walker...
...Huntington, and afforded much enjoyment to all. The interiors of the chapels and dining halls connected with many of the colleges seemed to afford much amusement to the students, who should remember that their brethren on the other side of the water are not brought up in the lap of luxury, and cannot boast of so unique a structure interiorally and exteriorly as Memorial Hall.

The facetious humor of Mr. Huntington increased largely the amusement of those present, and was a great...

He thought he was in second position when he was no better than fourth, when he discovered his mistake too late, and after running the last lap (four to a mile) in 1m. 8s., the time of George for each mile : One mile, 4m. 55s : two miles, 10 m. 4s; three miles, 15m. 20s; four miles 20m. 43s; five miles, 26m. 5s; six miles, 31m. 26s; seven miles, 36m. 53s; eight miles, 42m. 15s; nine miles...
...George went off with the lead, Snook rushing to the front before they had got half-way round the first lap. A couple of yards divided them as they ran into the straight, when George spurted and again got the lead, this being the order until the finish, something like three and four yards separating the pair. As they neared the straight for the last time, however, George had increased the lead to five yards, and, although Snook struggled gamely, and at one time managed to get within a yard or so of the leader, George immediately went away again...
