...creditable (though, as the result has proved, an ineffective) attempt to establish an "American Henley," by offering expensive challenge cups for the exclusive competition of undergraduate crews. As a matter of fact, however, the Freshmen of Columbia, as well as those of Harvard, grew heartily sick of their proposed contest long before the day for rowing it really arrived, and mutually abandoned it with a feeling of relief and "good riddance." This ending was a great relief also to the managers of the Harvard-Yale race, who, after urging that at least a week's interval ought to elapse between...
...first annual field meeting of the Brookline Athletic Club took place on their grounds at Cypress Street, Brookline, last Saturday, and proved, on the whole, successful. The management, however, was at times inefficient. The result was that the first contest was not called until after 3 o'clock P.M., instead of 2 o'clock, as advertised, and the last three or four contests had to be run in darkness so great the contestants were totally indistinguishable one from another. Wendell, '82, won the 100-yards and the 1/4-mile run, the former of which, however, he nearly lost, through the track...
...spite of unfavorable predictions for the weather last Saturday, the annual autumn Class Races were rowed in barges; and, judging from the closeness of the contest, they may be considered very successful. There seemed to be a little confusion in the management, notably in the absence of one stake-boat, and in the tug-boat provided; but these matters were forgotten as soon as the crews got under way. The Sophomores drew the inside course, nearest Beacon Street, then came the Juniors, and on the outside were the Seniors. Owing to the absence of the stake-boat before alluded...
...three class upper-class crews which will contest next week are all seemingly well matched. The Senior crew has presumably a slight advantage over the others, and is composed of the following men: C. H. W. Foster (bow); Swan (2); Hemenway (3); Hammond (4); Otis (5); Howard (6); Freeland (7); Brandegee (stroke). All these men are identified with the rowing interests of their class, and four pulled in the University Crew last year. In weight they average nearly 170 lbs., and considering the short time that they have rowed together this autumn, they now pull in very good form...
GLOBE THEATRE. - 8 P.M.; Matinees Wednesday and Saturday at 2. "Mother and Daughter," an adaptation of the usual type of French melodrama, will be given to-night and to-morrow.
