...Fearing is a probable winner and will make an effort to beat his record of two weeks ago; Morse and Green will make a close fight for second. First prize in the standing high jump will be won by Irwin or Bean, in all probability, and the athletic oracle seems to favor Finlay or Long in the shot contest. In the one mile walk odds are being given on Hale, although Bardeen, Endicott and Brackett seem to be favorites with many. Those who are in a position to know seem to look on Collamore, A. White, J. O. Nichols...
...There seems little doubt that the New London Board of Trade will accept the agreement offered by the Yale and Harvard Boat Clubs. These organizations are in a position to dictate their own terms; and they have used their power to bring to the colleges some of the benefits by which, in past years, the New London people have so exclusively profited.

This year we seem to be pursuing this desired course; and we are encouraged to believe that our present boating interests are in the hands of those who will bring us victory...
...little effort the technical difficulties of the work. Her tone and touch were sympathetic and thoroughly musical, while her dashing style of execution carried the audience with her from beginning to end. The cencerto itself was interesting, but not remarkably so. The use of the various instruments did not seem so graceful nor so skillful as is often the case in music of this composer and of others of the French school. It would be hardly fair, however, to judge of the orchestral portion of the work from this one hearing, as the performance was, at times, extremely ragged...
