...Wesleyan. He has now no less than 120,000 pictures under contract, and, beginning with West Point in 1875, he has been retained on the superior merit of his work by every college, embracing, at present, Vassar, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Dartmouth, Williams, and Wesleyan. Truly a remarkable record for a young man who began his career, fifteen years ago, over a stable at Long Branch, and plodded along, fighting poverty and many drawbacks, until he is acknowledged, especially in out-door and college art, the leading photographer of the country. His brothers are associated with him, and they have...

...Worse than all the scratch men were not our champions, but that mark was assigned to W. M. Watson and G. D. Phillips, neither of whom is within gun-shot of first-class form, Watson's best record since 1876 being worse than 7 min. 43 sec., and Phillips's best performance is 7 min. 38 2/5 sec.
