...perseveringly, and every spring and fall the representative teams meet to add one more victory or defeat to the records. Yet, notwithstanding the intense rivalry, the jubilation that follows victory and the deep chagrin that follows defeat, the relations between Harvard and Yale continue always cordial. There is behind the firm resolution to win, a feeling of mutual respect and hearty admiration that we think could hardly exist were not the colleges drawn together as they now are. The athletic life which every-where engages lively interest, and which affords endless opportunity for competition, comes surely to the surface, while...
...entirely of seniors. Honore, Ewald, Mason, Saxe and Swarts have made us a very strong part. These men, with G. H. Carpenter in the second bass, Howard, Balch, Pope and B. Carpenter in the second tenor, and Lund and Barry in the first tenor, will leave many vacant places behind them. The loss of so many well-trained voices will be severely felt next year, unless the ranks are filled by a large accession of men from Ninety-two or unless singers among the students offer themselves at the trial of candidates in the fall. There are numbers...
...Sullivan, was able to make any lengthy stay, the ninth wicket going down for 17. But the last partnership (Sullivan and Norman) put 13 runs together, the venture closing for a total of 30, Sullivan's 10, not out, being the top score.

Perhaps the most interesting article in this number is that by Ellen Terry Johnson, called "The Queen Behind the Throne." It is a short sketch of a wonderful woman, the Princess des Ursins, the Madame de Maintenon of Spain. The writer enters into details which general histories have not space for, and the result is an admirable work. Among other articles presented are "A Southern Planter" and "American Fiction...
Owing to the good bowling of Ellis and Brown, Mystic was unable to put together more than 37 runs, only one man making double figures. Being more than forty per cent. behind Harvard, the home team was forced to follow on, and did much better in their second venture than in their first, as at the drawing of stumps they had made 37 runs for a loss of six wickets. The fielding of Harvard was very good, especially that of Bayer, who made several pretty catches, one after a long run. Altogether the XI showed improvement, due, no doubt...
