...very noticeable for their rythm and delicacy of touch. If Mr. Berenson would confine himself to prose, and always write as admirably as in "The Third Category," his work would be appreciated, we assure him.

An excellent account of the game, editorials illustrated with crowing roosters and bright squibs on the members of the nine make up a very pleasing paper. Following in a bit of poetic effusion...
