...games held under the auspices of the Harvard Athletic Association last Saturday were good, but can be by no means compared to last year's meeting. A heavy shower which fell at two o'clock somewhat dampened the ardor of the many spectators who had begun to gather. At half past two the benches were filled with spectators,-many ladies among them, who braved the two showers which fell during the progress of the games and remained until the end. The events were held in the following order...
THROWING THE HAMMER.Four men entered for this event, all of whom came to the scratch, namely, A. L. McRae, S. S., E. E. Allen, '84, J. J. Roberts, '86, D. B. Chamberlain, '86.

The boating men have a trainer appointed and paid like any other master of the school, and, in fact, the school government encourages the students...
...would seem as though the superintendent of buildings, or whoever may be responsible, might have the ground around the Jefferson Physical Labratory cleared up somewhat before any more games or sports take place. As the outside of this building is entirely finished, we fail to see the need of keeping the piles of boards, sand and other debris which now form such pleasing surroundings for the new building. The north side of the building, towards the new track, especially needs some improvement. As the visitors to the ball games are obliged to pass by and over part of this disorder...
