Track athletics are in a flourishing condition, about thirty men being in training for the various events, and working daily under Mr. Robinson. Though it is too early yet for any definite predictions in regard to Mott Haven, the outlook is very promising. [Princetonian...
...better facilities for a study of this science, both in their number and character, than is offered at any other college in the country. With our courses in Roman law, constitutional and legal history, and political economy, we doubt very much if better opportunities for the study of the various branches of the political sciences are afforded at any other college than at Harvard.

In the fourth inning, the Beacons made two runs, on a single, two doubles, and a passed ball. They scored two more runs in the seventh inning on a base hit and errors by Keep and Tilden. Our only run was made by Crocker, in the eighth inning...
