The race in June will show what the probable result of last year's race would have been had Harvard remained at New London.

...negotiations for reduced railroad rates did not result so favorably as was hoped up to Saturday P. M. The "railroad pool" renders it impossible to secure anything but moderate reductions to all the points to which many members of the Co-operative Society have signed as intending to go. By all (members or not) who are going to or via New York city, a saving of two dollars each may be made on the all-rail trip to New York and return over the Boston and Providence R. R., if fifty-five round-trip tickets be taken, and if they...
