...well. The illustrations are rough and not as good as they might be. "The Platypus" by Sidney Dickinson is the description of a peculiar animal found in Australia. It is interesting though perhaps a little technical, and is very well illustrated. "De Profundis" by Anne Reeve Aldrich is a clever and pretty piece of poetry.

The race on Yale's part at least, showed clever planning but not enough to outwit the Harvard men. When the pistol was fired, S. H. Bunnell started off at a tremendous rate and at the end of two laps had a lead of about twenty yards. Here he began to weaken and Endicott and Wight who had been keeping close together gradually drew...
