SHIPKINS, '83, is in love. He has repeatedly assured his friends of the fact, and, when he heard of the Spring Athletics, he felt that the chance had come to display his nine-month College culture to his charmer. Accordingly, after carefully studying a Sophomore's notes on Rhetoric lectures, he sent her a nicely written postal inviting her and another young lady (whom he generously purposed to bestow on his chum) to come to Cambridge and witness the sports...
...poems have the widest range of subjects. In many of them, Nature is handled lovingly. "Daffy Down Dilly" is filled with the very essence of spring. "One misty, moisty morning" might prove a model of vividness and brevity to the many "word-painters" of the present day. Others have sought and found many hidden meanings in the rhymes of this Charlestown singer. According to some of these, "Solomon Grundy" is an epitome of Shakspere's seven ages of man. Another has found a foreshadowing of homoeopathy in the story of the man who sought in brambles a cure for wounds...
...every respect satisfactory. As had been expected, Harvard won nearly every event in which its representatives were entered, taking eleven prizes. The conclusions to be drawn from this result are easily seen. More men have trained this year than ever before, while the system of Class games instituted this spring for the first time, drew out many men who have heretofore kept aloof. By this means, the chance of winning prizes has been greater than ever before, and competitors have been induced to work hard in the hope of being sent to represent us at Mott Haven. The chief feature...
...above. Winthrop also started, but fell out at the end of the first lap. In putting the shot, Messrs. Denniston, Baxter, and Kip appeared, the latter, however, proving the winner with a throw of 31 ft. 3 in., 2 ft. 5 in. below Curger's put of last spring. Baxter took second place with 31 ft., while Denniston did not succeed in covering more than 26 ft. 11 in. E. K. Butler, Jr., had a walk over in the 100-yards dash, and although running very well for the first fifty yards, lost his form toward the end and finished...
...third. The mile-run was the prettiest contest of the day, and resulted in a dead heat between Messrs. A. Thorndike and J. S. Bell in the excellent time of 4 min., 50 1/8 sec., the best previous Harvard record being 4 min. 56 sec., made by Bell last spring. Their styles were noticeably different, Thorndike striking a long swinging gait, while Bell took a short, quick step, and apparently labored much more than his opponent. They will both run on Saturday, and are both entered for Mott Haven likewise, so we may expect to hear still better accounts...
