...town called William, in the Sacremento Valley. Under favorable circumstances this eclipse will be visible over a strip of country one hundred and twenty miles long; it will also be visible as a sunset phenomenon in Canada near Lake Superior, and as a partial eclipse as far east as New York. Owing to the wide range of country from which the eclipse is visible an excellent chance is offered to solve various problems concerning the sun's course and the amount and intensity of the light emitted under the given conditions...
...regret that any discussion of the Yale-Harvard foot-ball game should have been started in the daily press.

...Herrick's "Resurgens" is in a very different vein from most of his previous works. It lacks the vigor and picturesqueness of his Mexican sketches, but is far superior in delivery of thought and treatment. The first part is a little dull and prosy but towards the end the movement is better. The development of Catherine's character is excellent and is the chief merit of the piece...
