...writer of the article entitled "Gosling and Swellington," in the last number of the Crimson, challenges a statement which was made in a previous article on "Public Opinion at Harvard"; and, as he seems to have misconceived the spirit of that article, I ask the use of your columns again for a short explanation...
...Intercollegiate Athletic Meeting at Mott Haven last Friday was the most successful, in point of the number of contestants and excellence of records, ever held. The only drawbacks seem to have been the incompetency of the gentleman who was substituted for Mr. White to judge of walking; and the great variety of jumping contests, which, together with the pole vaulting, were decidedly tedious.

This will probably be the last chance that Lee and Wendell will have to meet in the Intercollegiate Sports, as the former graduates from the University of Pennsylvania this spring. A match for a gold medal is talked about by the friends of both parties, the result of the race to depend on a single heat...
