...previous records were surpassed. The sports were, in the main, creditable, but there were not as many new contestants drawn out as could have been wished. To be sure, the time for training in the autumn is short, and the greater attractions of football and rowing take away some men's attention from the Athletic meetings; but this cannot wholly explain the poor exhibition made by some of the contestants.

He can take no action until some such complaint is made, and we have no doubt that, if men will only make known their troubles, they will obtain redress...
