...Davenport, '90, left the steps of Matthews at 3.30 o'clock and were followed ten minutes later by a pack of about thirty hounds. After doubling twice on their track, the hares started up Brattle street, and then crossed over to Mt. Auburn street where there was a clear cut until Watertown was reached. Here the hares started cross country, over half ploughed fields, full of rocks and stubble. At this point some of the hounds gave out, probably from the supposition that if they had been built for running, nature would have furnished them with four legs instead...
...freshman meeting last Wednesday afternoon we noticed the way in which the men crowded around the track. They seriously interfered with the contestants and gave the officers in charge of the games a great deal of trouble to keep the track and jumping ground clear.

The sketch is copiously illustrated by quaint pictures of the city of Amsterdam and is told in that clear, pointed style characteristic of the well known authors. The second article is a chapter on Church History-the relationship of church and state in the United States. Thought rather a compiler subject, it is (?) into what the church constitutionally is, its rights and restrictions. A paper well worth reading...
...After the kick-off the ball was forced again into the Tech territory when Nichols was hurt in the leg. Clement took his place. Brainard now got into a fight with Ladd and was disqualified. Smith look his place. By some means Macaullay got the ball and had a clear field. He made the second touch down for Tech. Time was called before a goal was attempted. Score-10-4 in favor of Tech...
