...number contains several other very interesting articles on out-door sports, notably the paper on "Fast Ice Yachts; how they are built, rigged and hauled," by C. L. Norton, and "The Lake Champlain Yacht Club," by T. G. Mather. Walter C. Camp of Yale has an article on "Hints to Foot-Ball Captains," which contains some clear and interesting advice from the greatest football authority in the country.

The special contests to which we refer were held Thursday evenings last year, and contributed in no small degree to the success of the Mott Haven team last spring. Prizes should be offered...

In the meantime the freshmen must keep up their training, either by gymnasium practice or other work...

One great disadvantage in the past to all city schools has been the fact that the students had not such opportunities for out-door sports and recreations as the members of the large boarding schools and academies. It is, of course, in the nature of things that this comparative disadvantage will always exist, but it can be greatly lessened if a stronger interest in foot-ball and base-ball games springs up among the city schools...
