...Brunonian make a very excellent statement of prospects in base-ball, as follows: "Not a little uncertainty has already begun to be felt concerning the successful competitor in the inter-collegiate games, this spring. It was early the opinion that Yale would of course make herself first, but the beautiful game of the Crimsons with the Mets rather turned attention to a college a little to the northeast of New Haven.

...Yale University Boat Club last evening decided, after listening to a statement from Mr. Bigelow, president of the club, who, with Capt. Hall, went to New London to meet Capt. Hammond and ex-Captain Bancroft concerning what took place at the secret meetings held to arrange the date for the forthcoming race, to sanction the acts of Capt. Hall and Bigelow should they see fit to sign an agreement giving Harvard her day this year, on consideration that Yale shall name the day for the next two years.
