...coach costs from thirty to forty-five dollars, and the money is generally required half at the time the coach is engaged and the balance before the coach starts, on the day of the game. The best way to find out about a coach is to go to the carriage starter at the Metropolitan Hotel (he can be found about the entrance) or to the New York Transfer Co's stables, or to the carriage starter at the Park Ave. Hotel. A coach will hold from eighteen to twenty comfortably. One should start about an hour and a half before...
...third hare and hounds run of the Bicycle Club took place on Thursday. The hares, Messrs. White '85 and Appleton '87, started at twenty-five minutes before four and six minutes later the main body of the hounds started, headed by Captain Smith ; a minute later still Messrs.

...seems that Dartmouth was the first to start a college journal,-the "Gazetle" issued in 1800-to which Daniel Websterfrequently contributed. Yale next put forth a magazine under the title of the "Literary Cabinet," in 1806, the proceeds of which were to educate the poor students. To quote, "unfortunately for the poor students," the Cubinet died in less than a year after its birth. Harvard's first venture was a semi-monthly, the "Harvard Lyceum", which appeared in 1810, with Edward Everett on its staff; but it also was short-lived. Three or four other literary ventures were made...
