...PRESTON, Sec. Y. U. B. C.The challenge was accepted without debate...
Cambridge-Oxford. The thirty-fifth annual race between these Universities was a mere walk-over for Cambridge, which won by seven lengths in 21 min. 18 sec. Each University has now won seventeen races, and there is one dead heat, - a remarkable record, and a fact that will add much interest to the race next year...
...distances and at all gaits, and to the mile-runners and mile-walkers, especially, a capital chance is given of winning both fame and valuable cups, As may be recollected, this column, last fall, offered two cups of $25 each for any man who would beat 4 min. 50 sec. in a mile run, or 7 min. 40 sec. in a mile walk. These prizes will be given, as per agreement, at the Spring Games, provided that any one makes the required time.

The times made in the bicycle race were very poor, one two-mile heat being run in worse than 11 minutes...
