...college championship' may be taken for what it is worth, as long as the hoary Ernst and Tyng beat us! Harvard could not have done...
...have at all distances and at all gaits, and to the mile-runners and mile-walkers, especially, a capital chance is given of winning both fame and valuable cups, As may be recollected, this column, last fall, offered two cups of $25 each for any man who would beat 4 min. 50 sec. in a mile run, or 7 min. 40 sec. in a mile walk.
