AMONG the brevities this week, thanks to the courtesy of Professor Paine. we are able to print the prospectus of the "University Symphony Concerts," to be given this autumn and winter at Sanders Theatre, if, as the prospectus states, a sufficient number of subscriptions can be obtained. We sincerely hope that all will respond heartily to this appeal, and lose no time in going to Sever's to secure their seats.

BICYCLING.In view of the number of bicycles now owned in College, it would seem that some very interesting races might be arranged for this fall. If one or two men are regarded as invincible in an even-start race, a system of handicaps should be introduced to equalize the chances, and induce more men to enter. In this connection we will say that we offer a cup for a handicap race to come off whenever the track on Jarvis is ready, and to be a distance of two-mile heats, best 2 in 3, with a proviso that seven...
