OUR SPORTING COLUMN.

WE hope that our athletes will not go out of training entirely during the summer, but keep in training and compete in the Summer Athletic sports, so that they may be fit and ready for work in the fall. In spite of the gap '79 has left, we may look forward hopefully to the meeting at Mott Haven next year, as we still have left men who, good as they are at their respective distances, can yet materially improve their records by being even only moderately faithful to their work during the next three months. From a conversation with a well-known long-distance runner, who has competed on most of the tracks in the United States, we learned that the track on Jarvis is second to none. Now with such a track, and with the services of one of the best trainers in England, we surely ought to be able to increase considerably Harvard's somewhat slender reputation on the cinder-path.
