Perhaps the Athletic Association will, if unwilling to hold a field meeting, give a prize of some value for a long distance road-race of ten miles or more. In case they will not, the "sporting column" of the Crimson will guarantee a cup or medal worth ten dollars for a ten-mile road or track race, contingent on five men starting, merely for the sake of promoting sport and creating interest in this capital exercise; the race...

Here too we find lengthy mention of the Pope's death, and there is a long article on the character of Hamlet, which we have not read...
