...practice of reserving books at the Library is a good one, but it is carried to such an excess by some instructors that it is fast becoming a nuisance. So many copies of the texts required in studying for Honors are reserved, that those who have occasion to work outside of the Library complain that they cannot get any editions. It is useful to have enough copies of a play reserved to enable each of the candidates that are at work in the Library to have a book; but when an instructor puts every good edition on the reference shelves...
...side of Mott Haven, New York. The track has been carefully resurveyed, 18 inches removed from the inside all round, and it is now an exact fifth-mile in circumference. The roller will be kept going on it incessantly, and no trouble spared to make it as fine and fast as it can be made...
...athletics has indeed become great, and, in conjunction with rowing, bids fair to eclipse everything else at Harvard this year. Men are said to be training in unheard-of numbers, and the future of athletics here (until the craze dies out in, say, ten months' time) looks bright indeed. Fast men we have at all distances and at all gaits, and to the mile-runners and mile-walkers, especially, a capital chance is given of winning both fame and valuable cups, As may be recollected, this column, last fall, offered two cups of $25 each for any man who would...
ATHLETICS.N. Y. A. C. Owing to recent professional doings of the well-known amateur walkers, F. H. Armstrong and F. Mott, they have been expelled from their respective clubs, and are no longer recognized as amateurs. W. O'Keefe and J. H. Noonen, both rather fast walkers, are also expelled. Armstrong was the amateur champion of America, and had a mile record of 6.44, if memory serves us, and Mott could also do his mile close to seven minutes. Their loss is a serious one to the amateur athletic interest of the country...
BICYCLING.It is earnestly to be hoped that the report of the forming of a University Bicycle Club was not all rumor. On Fast Day the Massachusetts, Boston, and Suffolk Clubs unite in a "meet," to which they invite all bicyclists in the State. The rendezvous will be at Trinity Church, and the hour 10 o'clock. The unattached riders will be taken under the escort of sub-captains from the three clubs, that there may be no delay or confusion. After circling the square once, the riders will proceed over the Milldam to Chestnut Hill, and after reaching that point...
