...Wellington on Saturday, was won by Harvard. Princeton was second, and the University of Pennsylvania third. The conditions for accurate shooting were very favorable as there was no wind and the air was clear. Princeton was ahead till the last two rounds when Harvard tied the score through brilliant shooting by Bancroft and Ingalls, and then won by the score of 40 to 35, the deciding additional round of ten birds for each man.

He read several extracts from different works of Stevenson, including the dueling scene between the brothers in "The Master of Ballantrae," and characterized Stevenson as the writer of "the burning-glass style." He admitted that several...
...last night. Most notable on the program was a pianoforte concerto by Huss, Miss Aus der Ohe being the soloist. The composition was full of melody, and at times rose to a high degree of beauty in construction and orchestration. Miss Aus der Ohe's performance showed faultless and brilliant technic, and her playing was particularly effective in the more delicate passages...
