...town to be well patronized at present. It is one-fifth of a mile in circuit, and when especially prepared is one of the finest tracks, in the world for a walk or a run of 300 yards or more. It is almost unequalled for a quarter, as the start is at the head of the straight and, after a circuit, finish at the end of the home-stretch. The great trouble with it is the sand, which comes from underneath and moxes with the cinders, making the track brittle. Some of the best performances have been done on this...
...swipes." Noyes dodges and runs well, and throws a hard line shot. His chief fault is "Monkeying with the ball" before picking it up. The fielders are playing rather a loose game and do not support each other enough. Roundy is effective in covering his man, but does not start quickly for the ball, and when he gets it, either runs too long, or throws it without looking to see whom to pass it to. Churchill is a new man, and as such is doing well, playing with much life. He should learn to pick up the ball more readily...

Then, just as everything gets in running order again, a vacation comes to break in upon the work, and necessitates an entirely new start. Such a state of affairs at first sight seems absurd, and on further consideration, it seems even more ridiculous. Why, if vacations are given for recuperations are they not given when they are most needed, is the most natural query. Under the present arrangement, not only do the students in reality...
RUNNING HIGH JUMP.The jump was next in order. Atkinson, the inter-collegiate champion, and F. B. Fogg, '85, D. C. Clark, '86, T. C. Bachelder, L. S., and H. L. Clark, '87, were the entries. The bar at the start measured four feet above the floor. Bachelder did not appear. H. L. Clark jumped with the most grace. Up went the bar till it reached 2 feet 2 1-2 inches, when, after three trials, Fogg was unable to clear the bar. At the next raise of the rod to 5 feet 4 inches, D. C. Clark failed...
