...mile walk was Harvard's, first, last and all the time, - although for an instant an ephemeral hope was born in Yale men's breasts by a sudden spurt of Wright's in the fourth lap. He had hardly gotten the lead when he fell from exhaustion and Endicott, Bardeen and Norton of Harvard finished in the order named - the tie which the judges declared to have been between Endicott and Bardeen being given to the former by the latter.

She then dropped to 35 strokes a minute, while the freshmen kept theirs at 38 and showed no signs of weakening. Ninety-two dropped to 33, and gradually fell behind, though her form was very good.

Ninety-five was second, about half a length ahead of Ninety-three...

Now, Cummings has been out of the boat...
...mineralogical department of the Peabody Museum at Yale has recently received a very important addition, through the gift of a large collection of meteorites by Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. English of New Haven. These specimens fell in Winnebago county, Iowa, on May 2, 1890, and are probably the largest collection from any single fall in the world. Nearly all are perfect specimens, being completely covered with a black, burnt coating due to their coming so rapidly through the atmosphere. Several show fractures, and others are thoroughly rounded and melted off. The collection is considered to be a very valuable...
