Speaking of Cambridge reminds us that Harvard is to have a fine cinder track, and if any enthusiasm is shown among the members of the Harvard club, we shall doubtless see an increase of interest among the colleges in bicycling. Harvard caught to take first place in 'cycling, as it has some very fast men among its students.-[Bicycle World...
Running as an exercise for those who never intend to go on the cinder path, has this great advantage over all others, that they can get as much good out of it in five minutes as they can out of another in half an hour or an hour, not to include its harmonious working of most of the muscles of the body at the same time. A man who runs a mile in say five minutes, gets as much exercise as the one who walks five miles an hour. Running, to be most effective, should be commenced gradually and then...
...YEAR or two ago, when the Athletic Association, at a cost of six hundred dollars or more, built a cinder track which, it was said, would be the finest owned by any of the colleges, we confidently expected that Harvard had spent all that it would need, for this purpose, for some time to come.

The club is now laying a 6th of a mile cinder track on the Brookline Play-ground, which will probably be completed in time to admit of a field meeting this fall, which, it is possible, may be open to all amateurs. The officers are as follows: President, N. H. Hammond; Vice-President, M. P. Spaulding; Treasurer, A. S. Arthur; Secretary, Harry...
...these records were made indoors on an asphalt track, and it remains for the spring sports to show whether Mr. Clark can do as well on a cinder track. It is not too much to say, however, that Johnson will have to ride much faster next September than he did last year, to retain the amateur championship title. It may be of interest to state that Mr. Clark will probably be in '84 at Columbia, and will prove a dangerous opponent at the Intercollegiate next year, in case a bicycle race is added to the programme, which is more than...
