...evening, as I was loitering about the entrance to the ball-room of one of the hotels at Saratoga, wishing that the thermometer would try the effect of a cold bath, I saw R., a college friend of mine and in the Senior class.

There are a great many details in passing, and tricks in dodging, which the Princeton men have mastered, and which we trust our men have now learned. The match to-morrow will be well worth seeing; and we can only hope that...
