...play more with the idea of tiring out their opponents, although many of their returns were beautifully done. They did not seem to tire at all, where as Tallant and Lee showed the effect of the first set, and were visibly tired out in the last two. Their chief fault was a slow return, and generally into their opponent's hands. Tallant was the quicker of the two and did some brilliant work, especially at the beginning. Lee played more carelessly and with less snap, making at times inexcusable returns. The wind that came up during the last part...
...programme. Wherever it had come last evening no one could have failed to enjoy the manner in which Mr. Nikisch gave the fourth symphony of Beethoven. His conceptions are always so excellent that one feels quite justified in taking them as standard, but if he has any fault it is that of being a trifle sentimental.

Consequently we have become used to seeing peddlers in the halls and are not on our guard. To Old John there...
...Fives Courts" for hand ball. They are of a good size and extend to the top of the building, thus giving the advantage of a sky light. The floors are of cement and slope down, making the play lively. These courts are a great addition and have but one fault, which, however, is a great one. The walls are so constructed that it is almost impossible for one man to hear another unless he talks in a whisper. Every noise seems lost in a great wave of the echo and sound...
