THE Pudding strawberry night will probably be June 30.

THE crew will take both of their new shells to Springfield.

AN eight-oar is being got together to row the University.

THE price of board at Memorial Hall for May was $3.80 per week.

THE crew will leave for Springfield on the afternoon of June 21.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON and Professor Jacquinot sail for Europe to-morrow.

THE subject of Mr. E. C. Stedman's Phi Beta Kappa poem is to be "Hawthorne."

THE Society groups have been photographed on the steps of University during the week.

THE game between Yale and Princeton on Saturday was won by Yale by a score of 8 to 0.

WE respect the Freshman class for their pluck in attacking the calculus en masse, but we want to see them after the battle has been fought.

THE tablet recently placed in Memorial Hall with a paraphrase of the Latin inscription on the outside, is said to have been put up for the benefit of any members of the Administration visiting us on Commencement, who are not familiar with monumental Latin.

THE challenge from Columbia, which was declined on the ground that it would be unwise for our crew to race two days before the race with Yale, and that none of the crew were willing to stay at Springfield after the 29th of June, has been accepted. Columbia is willing to row on June 26.

THE proposed rifle-match with Yale will not take place, as the H. U. R. C. could not send a team to New Haven by the night train, and expect the men to be in good enough condition to shoot a rifle-match on their arrival, on which condition only the Yale club accepted our challenge; and they have finally refused to shoot at Springfield or any other intermediate place.

THE tide will be high at the boat-house until Commencement as follows: -

June 16 3.50 P. M.

June 20 7.50 P. M.

June 21 8.50 P. M.

June 22 9.20 A. M.

June 23 10.20 A. M.

June 24 11.05 A. M.

June 25 12.05 P. M.

June 26 12.50 P. M.

June 27 1.20 P. M.

WE give below the score of the rifle-match last Saturday. The last two innings were shot in order to decide a tie; but as they failed in this the game was to the Cambridge team, as they had made fewest outers: -

WE have been requested to print the following report: -

NEW YORK, June 4,1877.In pursuance of instructions, the Executive Committee report in detail briefly the progress of arrangements for the coming Field Meeting of the Association. The track has been engaged for Friday, July 6, 1877, and has been thoroughly inspected by the Committee. The path, which is composed of cinder and clay, is one fifth of a mile in circuit, and excellently adapted for running and walking, and is now in perfect order for training purposes. The dressing-rooms are being provided with lockers by the New York Athletic Club, and contain every convenience for contestants. The apparatus necessary for every contest is now ready at the track. Arrangements are now in progress for providing seats for three thousand spectators, and every convenience can be expected by visitors. As regards prizes, although the financial success of the day will, in great measure, determine their value, yet they will, in any case, surpass in quality and workmanship anything of the kind presented outside the field of college athletics. The Committee intend to award solid gold badges to First and Second places, and in every case the prize alone will be well worth the contest. The entry-book is now ready, and in the hands of Mr. H. L. GEYELIN, of the University of Pennsylvania, and already the names of prominent athletes appear on his lists. The Committee are preparing a set of Field Rules, which will be distributed before June 20. The Committee, in closing, would earnestly beg the hearty co-operation of all the athletes of the various colleges. Assuring all such that they may rely on honorable treatment and every chance of success, and that no effort shall be spared to render the coming Meeting the most successful in American athletics,

We remain, respectfully,

CLARENCE W. FRANCIS,EDWIN H. HERRICK,D. C. MORRELL,Executive Committee.
