Cold fair all day. Started for Clinton 8:30 A.M. by bus. 5 buses went. Broke spring etc. Arrived at Clinton 2:30 P.M. Union played fine game but got trimmed 6-0. Started from Clinton 7:30 P.M. and Utica 9:30 P.M. Cold trip. Fine time. To bed 4:30 A.M.

So here we have the trip to Hamilton College described briefly. Clinton, NY is about 90 miles west of Schenectady. It sounds like their return trip (2+ hours) was much faster than their trip out there (6 hours), no doubt because on the way back there were no mechanical problems.
Stanford uses etc. to summarize a great many details throughout his diary. I sure do wonder what else is covered by the etc. that went with broke spring.
I can only guess that the game they played was football, and that the Hamilton team won by a touchdown. Must have been a close game, worthy of Stanford's declaration that "Union played fine game," but then it was one of only three games (out of 8) Hamilton won that year, so the two teams were probably pretty evenly matched.
