...carriage in Jarvis street muffs foul badly off Smith; seeing which, Smith begins a series of fouls, one of which drops the ball in a swamp and renders necessary a new one." How like the playful habit of "our Clarence!" In the eighth, both sides score four runs, a "fat man in a carriage" stopped another hot foul. The ninth was short and gloriously decisive." Lowell makes one run and Harvard three. "Ecstatic joy and tumultuous congratulations for about five minutes." The nine is carried off in triumph. Mr. J. T. Harris presented it in its tent with a superb...
...York trip was not very successful, the Harvard team being beaten by "Atlantics," "Eurekas," "Excelsiors" and "Actives," 37-15, 42-39, 46-28 54 15. In these games the Harvard catcher, Flagg, catches pluckily although his hands are badly bunged up. The Eureka game was interrupted by a "fat 'Jersey' pig, making full trot for the pitcher's stand."

Whether the heroic watcher was standing on a stringer or whether kind hands supported him beneath, or whether he was prosaically seated on a tub, could be the subject only of the forlornest...
...skin from the great heat of the suns rays. The true skin is well supplied with nerves and blood-vessels; and it is fastened to the parts beneath by a layer of connective tissue, which contains scattered through its meshes, in most parts of the body, varying amounts of fat. The hairs and the nails are growths of the epidermis; the lines which you may see on the nails correspond to the elevations on the skin below over which the nail is moulded. The hairs do not project down the skin at a right angle to its surface...
