...glad to notice that the bicycle club is not, like some of our athletic organizations, in a dormant state. Every Friday the club takes a short run over the splendid roads in this vicinity. To-day a hare and hounds run, the first for several years, takes place. The hunt is to be a slow one, and a bicycle or tricycle should be on hand to join in this delightful sport...
Saxe kicked a goal. Morrison collided with Sears and had to leave the field. Finally took his place and played a steady game throughout. Nichols was slightly injured and Harding went to quarter back, Holden taking end rush. The splendid blocking off of Sears enabled Wood to make another touchdown. Goal. The ball was soon lost by Amherst, and Porter after a brilliant rush, scored the seventh touchdown. The try for goal was a failure but Boyden seized the ball and made another touchdown, from which a goal was kicked. Harding, after a beautiful run, scored the ninth touchdown, resulting...

Next to foot-ball, Hare and Hounds is the most invigorating of all the fall sports and it seems a pity that such splendid opportunities of improving one's constitution should be thrown away just for the lack of some competent lead. Won't the captain of the Mott Haven team look into the case and see what he can do to help it along...
...begun, we have at least a fair cricket team, but with hardly an extra man for a substitute. Last spring, starting under just such conditions, the eleven by hard work, succeeded in winning every match played, and yet what came of it? Not half in college knew of this splendid record, and the others didn't take enough interest to testify their appreciation. Scarcely any men go to see the matches, many have never seen cricket played, and so know nothing of one of the most scientific and refined of out-door sports...
