...annual spring handicap road race of the Harvard University 'Cycling Association was run yesterday afternoon over the Chestnut Hill reservoir course. The showers in the early afternoon had not softened the road, and everything was favorable for a race except a strong breeze which hindered the men on the back stretch. During the two last laps, however, rain began to fall which made the finish very disagreeable. Austrian, '91, and Strauss, '93, were the first to start, with a handicap of 6 minutes; Hockstatter, '93 (5 m. 30 sec.); Hawes, '93, (2 m. 30 sec); Holmes...
...freshman nine defeated the Yale freshmen on Holmes Field Saturday afternoon in an exciting game. Only five Yale men accompanied their team, and the spectators, who were all for Harvard, supported the nine by enthusiastic cheering and aided materially to win the game. The Yale nine, except in the sixth and eighth innings, payed a very strong game in the field, and their batting was far steadier than Harvard's.

...rules adopted by the Faculty last spring, in accordance with the famous vote of the overseers of January 30, 1889, have now had almost a year's trial. It is difficult to trace their effect except in a general way, and part of the changes they have produced may be only temporary; but it is interesting to notice some of the results. It will be remembered that the overseers first voted that in their opinion it was "expedient that every undergraduate be required to report in person early every morning;" that the Faculty, unwilling to establish a roll-call, adopted...
