EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - On the night of the college torchlight procession, a large American flag disappeared from the front of a house on Harvard Street, near Trowbridge. As possibly it may have been taken in a moment of torchlight enthusiasm for "ragging" signs, I write to say that the flag was prized not for its value as much as for its associations with one who has gone, it being an old war flag of the late rebellion. If this should meet the eye of a thoughtless taker, he would confer a great favor by returning it to 36 Trowbridge...
...finish, there is a large crimson and blue flag, standing directly out of the river, and as we steam up the course we pass them at every half-mile. Most of these flags disappeared after the races last year, and in some mysterious way turned up in Cambridge, where they form very interesting souvenirs of Harvard's victories.

They take two pulls every day, as our crews always have done, and are generally accompanied by the Carrie Goodwin, their launch. Last night, however, instead of going out in the afternoon, they waited until almost seven o'clock before they went...
...enormous negro provides the meals. The other rooms on the ground floor are all used as bed-rooms, two men occupying each. Upstairs there are a number of other sleeping apartments, which impress one as being rather too small for comfort. In front of the house there is a flag-pole, upon which waves the Columbia blue and white, and near this is a little summer house, where the men usually sit in the evening...
