THE Freshman Nine will play with the St. Mark's School Nine at Southboro', to-morrow, and with the Adams Academy Nine at Quincy, next Wednesday, May 8.

NO one will be allowed to row in the Scratch Races unless he makes the necessary payments beforehand. Last year, after the races, it was found almost impossible to collect the money.

THE rumor that a Portuguese edition of the Crimson, for circulation in Brazil, is to be undertaken by one of the editors who will imitate the Spanish editor of the Advertiser and the French editor of the Advoate is strictly incorrect.

PACH has now taken all the photographs for '78, excepting the groups, and more views that are to be taken after the leaves are out. His work has given unusual satisfaction to the Faculty and to the class. The studio will be kept open for a few weeks for the benefit of other members of the University, to whom Mr. Pach will give liberal terms.

OUR sporting editor authorizes us to say that, in view of the prompt manner in which the table at Morgan's has subscribed for a cup, he will guarantee $15 more for a mile-run. Now, won't the Advocate attend to the mile-walk, the Lampoon to the hurdle-race, and some of the club tables to the hundred-yards, two-mile run, broad jump, high jump, etc., etc.?

THE following letter, the first official reply to the challenge sent by the Secretary of the H. U. B. C. to the Cornell Navy, was received April 30.

ITHACA, N. Y., April 27, 1878.GEO. L. CHENEY, Sec. H. U. B. C., CAMBRIDGE, MASS.DEAR SIR, - At a meeting of the Navy last Thursday it was resolved not to accept Harvard's challenge for a University race. We regret that the circumstances were such that we could not accept this challenge, and hope that at some future time we may be able to arrange a race with Harvard.

Very truly yours,
