Sayre of Columbia won the mile-walk very easily, in 7 minutes 49 seconds, Emmerich of Lehigh College second, in 7 minutes 56 seconds, and Huidekoper of Harvard third, in 7 minutes 56 1/5 seconds. In this contest, Emmerich's walk was so manifestly unfair from start to finish that it should have been ruled out at an early stage of the race. Huidekoper walked extremely well, and has had very hard luck in being ruled out at the Columbia Sports for running, and in losing the second prize in the Intercollegiate Sports; since to the incompetency of Mr. Bauermeyer...
...boat's own water is a straight course, parallel to those of the other competing boats, from the station assigned to it at starting to the finish...

The halls and recitation-rooms, professors' apartments and lecture-rooms, will all be furnished with an upright sheathing of ash, four feet high, and beaded with moulded cap and base, producing an inside finish of very fine effect...
...feather is uneven, and all the men are inclined to bucket. Bow is not in good form; two does n't reach far enough, and does n't hold to his slide on the catch; three does n't pull his oar through, and swings out on the finish; four buckets, and fails to get his full reach; five meets badly, and feathers too high; six does n't get a full finish, and pushes too little with his legs; seven does n't swing out straight, and dips too deeply on the catch; stroke hastens his recovery too much...
...room, when going over to Gore Hall would be absurd. Again, many of the reserved books are such as one reads in spare moments in the evening; if a book can be taken out for a length of time there are a hundred chances to finish it. It is often impossible to know in the afternoon whether one will want a book in the evening; and furthermore, it is a great nuisance to take out a book night after night. We hope that this abuse will be remedied in future...
