...almost every one knows, the N. Y. and N. E. R. R. have agreed to run, on the day of the race, a train of platform cars, furnished with seats arranged in tiers, from the start to the finish. The track runs along the bank of the Thames River, and there are only two or three points in the entire distance where trees or other objects shut out a view of the course. Each car will accommodate about eighty persons. Several cars have already been engaged by gentlemen from New Haven, and we earnestly advise our enterprising men to open...
...reduced rates between Boston and New London ought to satisfy all members of the University who wish to see the race. Tickets for the round trip, good for three days, June 27 - 29, will be sold for $3.50.

Each car will hold about eighty people, and it would certainly be a good plan if arrangements could be made by which the students should...
...success; in fact, taking into consideration the difficulties under which it was held, it was a great success. Four weeks ago the idea of having a Meeting was entirely given up, but the offers of different gentlemen to give handsome cups proved an inducement to men to train, and in consequence the starters in the different events were, as a whole, more nearly "fit" than they have ever been before. The time made in the Hundred-Yard Dash and Quarter-Mile Run was most excellent, - remarkable when we consider that it was made on a track of loose dirt, instead...
