IN addition to the tables of last week, we give a list for convenient reference, of Harvard records at all the games (not usually competed) which have been held at the different meetings of the H. A. A., to which all future Harvard records at these games may be referred. They are arranged on the principle of last week's tables, the first record ever made here at the game, at the top of each list. These tables will not be placed in the Gymnasium, as they are not regular college championship events, and there is not room for all. The list is appended : -

In the "hammer," between Mr. Brandegee's throw of 59 ft. 8 in. and Mr. Thompson's throw of 72 ft. 7 in., the following two lines should be inserted: -
