I have had the extreme honor to have been admitted to the acquaintanceship of some of your most distinguished men, Mr. Longfellow, Mr. Emerson, Mr. Holmes.

Those offered by the kindness of private gentlemen and club tables are made conditional on a given time being equalled or beaten, and that is quite right; if gentlemen subscribe handsome medals or cups, they do so to induce men who do not train for the honor or love of athletics, to train sufficiently at least to make our time creditable and respectable.
