...announced that the Harvard Base-Ball Association has offered a cup for which the principal preparatory schools in New England will have a chance to compete. The present plan is to arrange a series of games between the nines of the preparatory schools which are situated in or very near Boston. Then a team picked from the best players of these nines is to play a game on Jarvis Field with the winning nine of the annual Andover-Exeter game. It is not yet surely known whether or not Andover and Exeter will enter into the scheme, but there...
...number of instructors have adopted the plan of not marking a student as present, if he comes into the recitation room later than five minutes after the hour. This plan certainly insures promptness in coming to recitations, and so relieves the instructors from the annoyance of men dropping in some time after the lecture or recitation has begun. But we wish to voice the great number of complaints that we have heard recently about the lack of co-operation on the part of many of the instructors in regard to this rule. Some keep men to long after the hour...
...invite some other college clubs, notably Technology and Yale, to take part. The idea is a good one and will meet with the approval of all interested in intercollegiate athletics. The attempt to arrange a road race with Yale proved unsuccessful, but we see no reason why the plan now proposed should not be heartily entered into.

...novel feature has been incorporated in the plans for the park which is to be laid out on that portion of the Charles River embankment between Craigie's and the West Boston bridges. This feature is an open-air gymnasium, an affair unlike anything ever before attempted by a municipality. The plan is intended for the benefit of the working men, at whose command it will place the means for the improvement, development and exercise of the physical man. The whole plan is experimental, and its continuance will depend upon the manner in which the public takes to the idea...
...space which will be utilized in carrying out the plan is 500 by 150 feet in extent. It will be fitted with gymnastic apparatus suitable for robust exercise, but not for games or feats which would attract large and disorderly crowds. The ground has been already prepared, and as soon as the weather permits, the various body-building machines will be erected. Dr. D. A. Sargent, of the Hemen way Gymnasium, will supply the apparatus, and the commissioners have left the selection of it as well as the superintendence of its erection to him. The machines have been selected with...
