If the members of the Mott Haven team are not tired of congratulations, we want to add the word of praise which is due to the Harvard men who won prizes on Saturday. Coming as the races did after the Inter-collegiate games and thus after the real close of a long season, it shows a good deal of perseverance on the part of the men to keep up their hard training after the greatest stimulus has been taken away. Indeed it is this very spirit of perseverence and persistency which has characterized the work of the whole team this season. This team has been made up very largely of new men, men who have worked their way up, under the guidance of Mr. Lathrop and Captain Cook, from the positions of only mediocre runners to members of the Mott Haven team. It is always fortunate when the college can make up its team of men who are naturally stars in athletics, but it speaks much more for the character of the men and the spirit of Harvard athletics when the captain can make out of a set of largely new men such a triumphant team as that of the present year.
