Twenty-seven men took the practice long distance run yesterday led by H. W. Foote 2Dv. The course, which was about four and one-half miles long, led down Boylston street, across the river, through Allston, and back by way of the Longwood bridge, Brookline street and Harvard street. The break was about a quarter of a mile from the Gymnasium and was easily won by S. H. Bush '01, with C. J. Swan '01 second...
...last hare and hound run for which prizes will be given will take place next Monday. The training preparatory to the cross country run, the date of which has not yet been fixed, will then begin and continue as long as the weather remains suitable. A communication was received from Yale, about the first of November challenging Harvard to a cross country run; but as the Yale team had already had one month of training, and not enough time was allowed Harvard before the competition, the challenge was declined. As soon as the long runs are over the weight candidates...
...only one officer on our ship who felt certain that the Spaniards were whipped. After the battle was won a blockade of the city was made, and as the insurgents soon surrounded it on the land, the Spaniards were effectually hemmed in.

A few months...
...current number of the Advocate is by far the best that has been issued this year. It contains fewer pieces than the typical number; but its stores, poems and editorials are all good. The leading contributions, long, carefully arranged and artistically written stories, are a happy exchange for the usual expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon. Jack Castleton, a shy, weak youth of the "gilded set" and the educated valet are familiar figures; but the writer puts them through their parts with skill...
This year's Harvard team has been selected from a very large squad, and has not been handicapped by having any of its best players taken on the 'Varsity squad. Owing to the unusually long season, the development has necessarily been slow. Since the game, however, with the U. of P. freshmen Nov. 4, steady improvement has been shown, especially through the secret practice of this last week. A strong defense has been developed, and the offense, though ragged at times, has been made very effective. As a result, moreover, of the continued and persistent coaching of J. L. Knox...
