The drill of the Providence Bicycle Club was most novel and pleasing; but the polo on skates was not amusing; nor was the tennis, which was played in a court much shorter than the regulation length, thus preventing any skilful plays, as the contestants had all been practising in courts of the usual dimensions. The conduct of the crowd in hissing the tug-of-war team from the Institute of Technology, which was pulling against the Jamaica Plain Boat Club Team, showed the kind and fair...

...advisability of changing the course of the Yale-Harvard Race. He seems, to the present writer, to sum up very conclusively the advantages of still adhering to New London, but there are several points merely alluded to by him which it may be well to take up more at length. In the course of the past ten years Harvard crews have rowed over all the principal racing grounds in New England and New York. We have successively tried Worcester, Springfield, Saratoga, New London, and Owasco in 'Varsity and Class Races, and fixed on New London as combining the greatest number...
