...pretend to discuss now the question of "diagonals" or mistakes in drawing the line. There is no shadow of doubt but that Yale crossed the line which determined the race first, and we congratulate her, not only on having the pluck and the muscle to win the best and most closely contested race in the annals of college boating, the Freshman race, and the single-scull race, but also the good fortune to win all three in the same week. It must have been a proud moment for Captain Cook, and deservedly so, when his crew rested on their oars...
...successful result of the Harvard Telegraphic Company's experiments on the banks of the Connecticut, - a result beyond the expectation of experienced operators. With the workings of the company here last year we were all more or less familiar, and strangers have looked inquiringly at the gossamer line between Stoughton and Holworthy, conjecturing as to its purpose. The subject of Mr. Burgwyn's article is of so much interest to collegians, that we thought it right to mention it, referring our readers to the Old and New for further particulars...
...racing day, - Phillips, of Cornell; Bowie, of McGill College, Canada; Benton, of Amherst. They drew 1st, 2d, and 3d positions, respectively. The race was for two miles, but the first excited little interest. The first half-mile Benton led, with Phillips second, having passed Bowie just before crossing the line. The end of the next quarter Bowie struck out a little, but in a moment fell back again, contented to wait. At the opening of the second mile the large audience were thoroughly roused and eager. The runners quickened slightly, but retained their relative positions till the last half-mile...
...Springfield, July 17. Harvard should be represented on that occasion by a " large and orderly crowd." Drunkenness and reckless betting will add not a whit to the pleasure to be derived from the race, while dishonor will certainly come to our college (which has enough to stand in that line already) from such a course. We have a good and steady crew, anxious for victory and faithful to their training; a captain in whom the whole University and its friends have the utmost confidence. Let every man be present who can, and if he witnesses another defeat of Harvard...
...successful one. The Pierians, it seemed to us, played quite as well as at the previous concert this year, and the Glee Club never sang better. The successes of the evening were Keler Bela's "On the Rhine" waltzes, the encore to which was the now well-known "Inman Line" march and Titt'l's "Serenade," in which the flute and cornet parts were rendered with an accuracy and delicacy too seldom found in amateurs...
