...second number of the Advocate will appear to-morrow. Sad to relate, it is not to be compared with the first number. But that is not saying it is all bad, by any means; in fact there are some very good things in it. The editorials it is a pleasure to read. They are written in a happy mood and are in their way charmants. To speak the truth we do not remember to have read undergraduate editorials more entertaining, for many a long day - although of course, our memory may be poor. At any rate, they are well worth...
...pleasing - it is happier - and there will be time enough for dismals later on. "A Fallen Idol" is good, very good in the beginning. "The dead silence of him who is drinking beer" is full of meaning. The Kodaks are rather entertaining as a whole. The first is not bad; the second, it seems to us, has not enough in it to justify its appearance in the Advocate; the third is excellent, very well worked up, though it would hardly be proper in a co-educational college; the fourth is good; the fifth is fair, but the sixth is bad...

Lansing stepped up and almost without thinking hit a little pop fly, which so surprised him that he was unable to run and was tagged...
...last half of the ninth, and scored the winning run in the tenth on Highlands two bagger, a sacrifice and an error. Highlands pitched fairly well, for Harvard, although they managed to get more safe hits than we. Cobb supported him behind the bat very well, but made one bad fumble of a thrown ball that let in their second run. Colby, the freshman Amherst pitcher, played a very steady and effective game. Several brilliant plays were made during the game on both sides. Soule's throw to Dickinson, of Sullivan's hit in the fourth, and Frothingham's double...
