...annual cross country run will probably take place next Wednesday afternoon at 3.30 p. m. The course, already laid out, is a little over ten miles in length. The start will be made from the gymnasium, the course extending from there across the Common, down Concord avenue, along Garden street to Sherman street, thence to the dike, through the clay-pits to Concord avenue, down Fresh Pond drive, round Fresh Pond, up path through woods to Mt. Auburn street, over Brattle street to Mason, across the Common to the Law School steps...
...race of the trial eights on Saturday was won by J. H. Perkins's crew by a short quarter of a length. From the start until the line was crossed the result was in doubt. One hundred yards from the finish both crews were even and going strongly. The superior leg drive of Perkins's crew, however, and the fact that they had a little more spurt left gave them the victory. The time, roughly taken, was 9m. 51s. The conditions were fairly good. The tide was going out slightly and a light wind gave the water just sufficient life...
...Lehmann gave the word to start from the launch. Both crews got away quickly, although Goodrich's men had a slight advantage. This lead they increased to a full length at the bridge.

It lay out Brattle and Mt. Auburn streets, around Fresh Pond and back by way of Concord avenue. The break was made at the corner of Concord and Huron avenues. As three of the hounds finished within the eight-minute limit, the third one will receive a prize. The first four hounds returned in the following order: H. B. Clark 1901, H. Smith...
John Kirkland Clark, speaking second for the negative, dwelt at length upon the strategic value of Hawaii. He said that possession of Hawaii would not shield the Pacific coast, since Vancouver, the South Sea Islands, China and Japan would become bases of poerations against us, and we would be forced to protect our seaboard and Hawaii in addition, involving an enormous expense for additional land defences and an increased navy. The natural defensibility of our Pacific coast makes this expense unnecessary. Our past experience shows the alternative, annexation without for-tification, to be preferred. Annexation would be merely following...
