...home. The club reached home safely, there not being a single fall or accident, at about eleven, and after riding once round the yard disbanded in front of University, everybody agreeing that they had a capital tie, and that the meet was a grand success in every way. A word of thanks is due Mr. Russell, the proprietor of the Russell House for his being so obliging as to keep his main rooms open to the club alone, and for his general courtesy...

EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: We are all interested in the success of the Co-operative Society, so a word or two about what its present condition seems to be to one who has no official connection with it, may not be amiss. It will be remembered that the last annual report showed a net capital of about $300, which looks as if the society was not only on a sound financial footing but was even making money out of its business. But it is readily seen that this balance is not a cash balance but is made up largely of stock...
