...investigation I have been able from several persons who have attended all the important matches that occurred in Cambridge for some years past, and who thoroughly understood the games. It is hard to prove a negative, but, so far at least, I have found no evidence of any such thing. I feel convinced that the committee, in its ardor, have accepted some false rumor for a fact. At all events they admit, I understand, that no such thing has recently occurred, and even supposing it may have taken place in the past, its own voluntary cure without a suspension...

That the inter-class contests in track athletics were a decided success and ought to be continued in the future was clearly demonstrated yesterday afternoon by the close competition in the various events and the interest manifested by the large crowd of spectators. There was only one thing to mar the thorough enjoyment of everyone at the meeting, and that was the unfortunate accident to one of the riders in the bicycle race-an accident which can be easily averted in the future, and which in this case, happily, is not at all serious. One record was broken, presaging...
