...Captain of the Nine has succeeded in arranging games with Yale and Princeton. The first game with Yale will be played at New Haven, May 26; the second in Cambridge, on the afternoon of Class Day, June 22; and the third, if a third should be necessary, either the day before, or, as is more likely, the day after the regatta. The first Princeton game will be played at Princeton, May 19; the second in Cambridge, June 8; no arrangements in regard to a third game have, as yet, been made.

...gloves. The round was won by Mr. Bryant, as was also the second round and the bout. It remained to decide the last bout of the middle-weight sparring between Messrs. Bryant and Wiley. This first round was by all odds the most interesting feature of the day's sports. Mr. Wiley was very cool and collected. The contestants closed and did lively work, which called out repeated applause from the audience. The round was given to Mr. Bryant.
