Silver Lake. - We were glad to see the name of Mr. W. N. Goddard, '79, among the entries for the amateur scullers' race at Silver Lake. He will have to meet some very queer "amateurs" in his race, but all will wish him success in his plucky undertaking...
Cornell. - The Freshmen crew's average is : height, 5 ft. 10 1/2 in.; age, 20 2/5 years; weight, 160 2/5 pounds. They are being coached by Ostrom and others, and will make a good fight for their race. In view of this, it is to be hoped that no man of our Freshman crew will throw a chance away...

When our University Bicycle Club is organized, and a good track has been laid on Holmes or Jarvis, we have no doubt that 11.31 will be equalled and beaten. The race at Beacon Park last week shows that we have the material...

The interest in boating at Yale and Harvard has been concentrated on the eight-oars, and little or nothing has been said about singles. But now there promises to be a revival of the championship races, and this the H. U. B. C. ought to encourage...
