...Harvard Cycling Association has us t made the announcement of its second annual spring meeting, to be held May 23. The first meeting, held last year, was not properly supported by the college and was not the success which it should have been.

They are under the charge of an energetic and competent captain; and moreover are to have the help of a good coach. The earnest way in which the men have started in work is another encouraging sign. The most noteworthy and promising fact, however, is the steady growth of the game in popular college favor. Ever since the first...
