AN account of the Athletic Meeting last Saturday will be found on another page, and it will be seen that in two events our best previous records were surpassed. The sports were, in the main, creditable, but there were not as many new contestants drawn out as could have been wished. To be sure, the time for training in the autumn is short, and the greater attractions of football and rowing take away some men's attention from the Athletic meetings; but this cannot wholly explain the poor exhibition made by some of the contestants. When we take into consideration the number of men in the University, it does not seem too sanguine to expect that at least five good men should compete in each of the more important sports. The weather was, unfortunately, bad; but, as the spring is likely to be more favorable, we trust that more men will train, and that there may be no walk-overs.
