...century and 220-yard dashes, the hammer throw, the shot put, and the javelin the Harvard Freshmen loom strong, but such Exeter men as Captain O'Neil, Eliot, and Brandenbury make the chances for first honors in the other events appear dim. O'Neil, who in a winter meet last year at Bowdoin scored 25 points himself, is entered in the quarter mile, half mile, and mile events today, and, if previous records can be trusted, should break the tape in each.

Judging from appearances the scenery might have been a treasured heir-loom from the store-house of Macready. The incidental music that was played throughout was a complete hang-over from the first performance. Encouragement may be had, however, from the size--if not the warmth--of the audience which welcomed Mr. Mantell back to Boston...
