The athletic grounds at the university, under the personal care of Mr. Pennell, have been vastly improved, and the running track has no superior in the country. Nothing has been done about the new gymnasium beyond getting subscriptions, and it will probably not be started before next year. Dr. Sargent, of Harvard, will attend to the fitting up of the old refreshment room as a gymnasium with all the latest improvements, and it is claimed that it will be the most perfect gymnasium for its size to be found any where. The base-ball diamond at the athletic grounds has been well sodded. The center of the field itself is covered with a luxuriant growth of grass, which has been repeatedly rolled, and is in fine trim for the cricket and foot-ball players.
