...They evidently intend to ridicule the ministry of the Methodist Church and show their contempt for it because there were ministers on board the train. One of them pointed to the rear of the car and said, 'there is the bar.' If these young men had been drunk, we would have supposed that they were on a drunken carousal and when they got sober they would be ashamed of their conduct, but as they appeared to be sober we supposed that it was a premeditated attempt to ridicule the ministers on board or their church...
...practice. If some definite regulation was made forbidding it or if some person were given the charge of the grounds, it could easily be stopped. It is necessary to recognize this selfish tendency of persons to try and get front places in spite of those in the rear. As it is now, the end of the game is lost to many who are anxious to see it, which is of course a great injustice to them. And in view of the fact that, if the seats were kept, more could see the game advantageously than if a portion...
...Cowie perhaps obtained a shade the best of a capital start, and led Ritchie by about three-quarters of a yard at the half-distance, Philips at this point a yard in the rear of the Moseley Harrier.

Now if these second rate opponents had been given starts, there would have been a good race and fast time would have been made, for it is a well known fact that a man runs, walks or rides a bicycle...
...mile and a half flag Harvard was ahead over four lengths, passing the stake in 9 minutes, 12 seconds, with Yale 18 seconds to the rear. In the next half mile Harvard added three lengths more to her lead, and passed the two-mile stake in 12 minutes, 30 seconds, just 34 seconds ahead of Yale. Harvard still rowed 37 strokes, while Yale had dropped to 41. From this point it was almost impossible to distinguish the features of the Harvard men from the boats. The two mile and a half stake was passed by Harvard in 16 minutes...
