In a recent number of the Yale News it is insinuated that Yale failed to get the Mott Haven cup last Saturday owing to 'reckless riding' or 'deliberate intention' of a Harvard entry in the bicycle race. We regret very much that the unfortunate accident in the bicycle race should be attributed to such causes, for the simple reason that there is positively, no ground on which to base such a stand. If there was any 'reckless riding' or 'deliberate intention' it surely was not on our side,-not that we wish to say that there was any on Yale's side, but that we do insist that there was absolutely none on ours. Our man was leading and had the pole. Yale's man was overtaking him, but kept so near the Harvard man that when they were side by side the handle-bars were locked, and happily the Harvard man kept his seat. The accident is to be regretted exceedingly, as it rendered a good test of the two men impossible.
