Notwithstanding the threatening skies, the miserable weather and the poor condition of the track, all of which tended to dampen the spirits of the contestants, the athletic meeting of last Saturday was eminently successful. Had it not been for the attendant circumstances of the day, the time made and distance covered in the various competitions would undoubtedly have been better, but even as it was the H. A. A. have good reason to congratulate themselves upon the breaking of two records. The running in the half-mile race was such as any college might point to with pride...
...spite of the threatening weather, the H. A. A. held its spring meeting Saturday afternoon. The track, while not at its best, was reasonably hard, and the weather even condescended to become moderately warm during the first half of the games. For all the obstacles the meeting was a success. The half-mile intercollegiate record was broken by G. P. Cogswell, '88; while Gibson changed the Harvard record in Hammer throwing from...
...second tug-of-war was here pulled between the 'Varsity and the following team: E: W. Grew, '89; F. O. Raymond. '89; J. Endicott, '89, and G. Perry, '89; (anchor). The 'Varsity again won, this time by 3 1-2in. The 220-yards dash ended the track events. J. W. Merrill, '89; J. H. Slade, '90; E. B. Bodley, L. S., and E. C. Moen, '91, were the starters.

...scrub boat races shows conclusively how little ground there is for the assertion that the University crew is the only one to which encouragement is given, and a glance at the football field in the fall, the gymnasium in winter, the baseball field in the spring, and the running track, the cricket crease, the lacross field and the tennis nets in both fall and spring would quickly convince any one that physical exercise at Harvard is by no means confined to a favored few. The estimate of $25,000 as the yearly cost of the various college contests must also...
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...
