...Brown, '90, has made 1001 runs in all this year, which is a record in American cricket. He played forty innings, three not outs, which gives him an average for all matches of 27.05 His highest score was 111, which he made in the second innings of the Gentlemen of Philadelpia against Dublin university; he also made a 102 for Philadelphia vs. Liverpool, but his best performance was against the Gentlemen of Ireland, when he made in Philadelphia's second innings, 81, with out a mistake...
...Tuesday and Wednesday of this week Amherst held her fall athletic meeting. Four college records were broken-120 yard hurdle by R. B. Ludington '91, who diminished the time by one second; kicking the foot ball by H. A. Smith '90, 3ft lin beyond the record; 220 yard dash by G, B. Shattuck, 3-8 of a second below the record; and the two mile bicycle race by H. B. Hallock '90, 5 seconds below the record. The barrel of cider which goes to the class winning the greatest number of events was won by '91 by a score...

There is room for doubt, however, whether there will be material for "The Month...
...publish in our columns this morning a communication from William Cranston Lawton which deserves careful perusal. Up to this time, as will be seen America has contributed little or nothing to the furtherance of archaeological research in Greece, and has in fact in this respect no enviable record. Now, however, preparations are making for the excavation of Delphi and its surroundings under the direction of American scholars and these excavations, if successful, will go far toward proving America's claim to scholarly recognition. No more fruitful field certainly could have been chosen for the initial work than the site...
...crew itself, too, deserves a word of commendation. Not a cent was demanded by its captain or its members which was not absolutely necessary, not a dollar was spent either for useless show or added comfort. This certainly is an enviable record-for, as student supporters are apt to forget, the training of a crew is not child's play and calls for care and self sacrifice. Under these conditions surely a little luxury and comfort might have been consistently demanded, but this was not asked. It was a significant sight to the onlookers when the freshman and 'varsity crews...
