This afternoon is held the annual spring athletic meeting. Although Harvard lost a number of her best men last year, there has been much hard work done by old members of the Mott Haven team and by the new men trying for places. The meeting this afternoon will, in a measure, show what are our chances of keeping up our reputation in track athletics. If the weather conditions are favorable, the meeting will undoubtedly be successful and some fast time made.

At the class games on Thursday last we were sorry to see the evidently bad manner in which the meeting was managed. The events were not started in the published order and a spirit of slackness and irresponsibility prevailed. It is needless to say that the meeting this afternoon must not be managed in this way. We expect those in charge of the games to do everything in their power to make them go off well and promptly.
