In spite of the CRIMSON'S statement in its last issue that "the track on Holmes is in good condition for running," it is not likely that very many men have since availed themselves of such an opportunity for good exercise. The statement when it appeared was one of pure mockery by reason of the storm which in a few hours had made a snow field out of a race course. If we had only labelled our item, "Weather Indications" the error would have been in no wise surprising, and would have foretold stormy weather quite as accurately as any prophesy of a "probably fair day" in a Boston daily. But all this snow that now covers Holmes and the college yard generally brings forebodings to the mind of the Harvard student. Recognizing the fickleness of the weather clerk for the regions about Cambridge he knows not what a day may bring upon him, and is ready to wake any morning and find Holmes a beautiful sparkling lake, and the yard a system of ponds and rivers, with a good degree of certainty that still another day will change the former into a magnificent skating surface, and the latter into a conglomeration of slipperyness and sawdust.
