...middle-weight last year, when he was defeated, after a very close contest, by Lee. He has been in active training all winter and the effects of this were visible in his style and effectiveness, which were a great improvement over last year. Smith was much taller and heavier than his opponent, and, as he stepped into the ring, it looked as though he was going to make a fine showing. Page's weight was 139 7/8, while Smith was about 16 pounds heavier...
...there was a general reduction from the tariff of 1846, in order to lessen the revenues of the country, which were overflowing. This was the last tariff act passed before the civil war. The faults of specific duties Mr. Taussig explained to be as follows: They weigh heavier on the cheaper than the better class of goods made of the same material; although prices rise and fall, the amount of duties remains the same, so that the per cent is continually varying; they are used to conceal the real weight of the duty from those who are unacquainted with...
...Binney, 156 lbs.; 5, Baxter, 177 lbs.; 6, Hubbard, 175 lbs.; 7, E. T. Cabot (capt.), 183 lbs.; stroke, S. Coolidge, 158 lbs.; cox., S. P. Sanger. Average weight, 164 3/8 lbs.

They are at present doing the elementary work, rowing a few strokes by numbers, and then a few with stiff...
...recent freshman game is of interest: "The game was announced for 2 o'clock, but did not commence until 2.40. There was no occasion for this unreasonable delay, and surely it should not have been allowed when darkness sets in at so early an hour. The Harvard men were heavier and stronger than their opponents, but showed a lamentable weakness of head or management, failing to play well together or support one another effectively. Individually they played very well, but there was much inexperience and ignorance of the rules of the game apparent. The ball was quite slippery and hard...
...pleasant fact to think of that no freshman class has ever lost the race with Columbia, but it lays a heavier responsibility upon the rowing men of the present class. Our freshmen did not show up remarkably well in the class races, but they will have enjoyed the benefit of seven weeks' extra training before they row again, and therefore will have a fine opportunity to show us their true strength in the race on the Harlem. They have trained with much perseverance long after the other class crews have relapsed into their ways of idleness and ease, and competent...
