...congratulate the baseball association on their present firm financial standing. Never before has it been able to start a new year with such a large account to its credit. Heavy expenses were incurred to put Holmes Field in condition for matches, but the new diamond seems to have had superior attractions for drawing a crowd, and in consequence the half dollars have rolled by thousands into the treasury. The financial ability to do what is necessary for the nine removes a great load from the management and ought to enable them to arrange practice games with the very best clubs...

The cool afternoons ought to serve as an inducement for many of the lovers of the double-blade to launch their craft on the river and start for a pleasant paddle up toward Watertown, or down into the rougher water of the harbor.

The result, however, more than justified his venture. Over two hundred pupils were gathered, and the session was most profitable and interesting. Great praise is due to Prof. Montague for the admirable corps of teachers...
Harvard had the east course and Yale the west. At 2.46 all was ready and Mr. Bradford, the referee, gave the word "go" from the launch Carrie Goodwin. The start was simply perfect, both crews taking the water at the same time and both rowing 38 strokes to the minute. For a quarter of a mile the crews remained even and the excitement among the spectators was intense. Then slowly by but surely Yale began to draw ahead so that when the first mile flag was passed they had a lead of somewhat less then a length. But already Harvard...
