...could be seen; and, moreover, on one side of the river for the entire distance there is a carriage-road, and on the other a railroad on which a train of platform cars would be run, during the race, abreast of the boats and in full view of them, except for a few hundred feet where the road passes through a short cut. There is, also, ample opportunity for large steamers to follow the race, and a seaport like New London will be able to supply enough of these vessels. The hotels will easily accommodate two thousand guests...
...March 1st, twenty days earlier than last year, the crew were out on the river, and since then have been able, except on Wednesday last, to get daily practice. The eight, as first made up, was as follows: Harriman 1, W. Le Moyne 2, Legate 3, Smith 4, Brigham 5, Schwartz 6, Jacobs 7, and Bancroft 8.

Any method of assigning scholarships except according to scholarly merit cannot fail of being demoralizing in proportion as the assignment is influenced by a regard for the circumstances of the applicant. It may be said that a change in the present system would have no different result, that the same men would take the scholarships as take them...
...congratulate the Vassar Mis. upon reaching the expected end of "Man versus Hairpin," a story which bears resemblance to no other known literary work except "The House that Jack Built," with which it may reasonably claim kin. One easily gets the run of duplicate and duplicated, - "This is the girl who loved the man," etc. The number is, however, one of Vassar's usual merit. The Editor's Table thus sets forth negatively the chief...
