Pennsylvania won the toss and decided to take the bat. W. Scott and Wiedersheim were the first to face the bowling of Ellis and Brown. The wickets fell fast, until five wickets were down for 19 runs. When Trotter came in, the only stand of the inning was made. Trotter played carefully for 11 and the 47 runs of W. Scott was an invaluable contribution to his side. The attack was steady and well directed, and the field support was good, a catch by Balch at short slip being invaluable. The venture closed for the small score of 68 runs...
Longwood won the toss and decided to go to the bat, Mansfield and Bixby going in to face the bowling of Ellis and Brown. The batting of Longwood was very steady, but at no time brilliant. The chief scores were those of G. Wright, 20, and of Hubbard, 21, two very creditable performances, as the wicket was by no means a run getting one, and the bowling of Harvard was well on. The fielding of Harvard was fairly good, but lacked in throwing in to the wicket. The last wicket of the visiting XI fell...

The only sections open to ordinary mortals, who could afford neither reserved seats nor season tickets were two or three sections between the back stop and the hospital, where one had to face the delightfully fascinating glare of the sun, which threw a golden mist over the whole landscape, including the game...
...latter made quite a hit, and was repeated. In the second part the Pierian strings gave Rheinholds prelude and after a rough introduction performed the number in a delicate and distinct manner. A word is due Mr. Whipple as he retires, for he certainly has done remarkably well in face of the general lack of interest shown in the Pierian of late years. He has had much to overcome of poor individual playing and listlessness. The Glee Club was at its best in its last appearance, was repeatedly encored and really did itself honor. Mr. Swarts in his "Capture...
...cricket eleven began its second game with Longwood yesterday at Longwood, and made a much better showing than last week. Longwood went to the bat first, sending in G. Wright and L. Mansfield to face the bowling of Ellis and Brown. Wright was clean bowled by Brown when he had made only one. The rest of the team were also soon disposed of, and the innings closed for 47. Harvard then went in, but with the exception of Paul, who played well for his 13, no one was able to make a stand against the good bowling of Wright...
