...this time it is doubtless generally known that the Freshman race between Columbia and Harvard has been given up. The action of Columbia, although to be regretted, seems to have been unavoidable. According to the statement of Captain Webb, he had not enough men (only seven, including substitutes) to fill the places in the boat, and therefore it was impossible for Columbia to row the race now. His offer, either to row next fall or to present our Freshmen with a stand of colors, is a sufficient proof of the sincerity and good feeling of Columbia. We are sorry that...
...letter from "A Sufferer," which will be found in our correspondence column this week, again calls attention to the fact that property is not safe when left at Memorial Hall during the hours of meals. Some of the epithets used may seem to some a little too harsh, but it seems to us that this is no matter to mince words about.

...Intercollegiate Athletic Meeting at Mott Haven last Friday was the most successful, in point of the number of contestants and excellence of records, ever held. The only drawbacks seem to have been the incompetency of the gentleman who was substituted for Mr. White to judge of walking; and the great variety of jumping contests, which, together with the pole vaulting, were decidedly tedious. The success that Harvard's representatives won should urge our athletic men to fresh exertions, and the apparent walk-overs in the mile-run and in several other contests should instil in them the idea of training...
