Fish. A drizzly rain fell over New York harbor at dusk one day last month. A trim little 30-foot cabin sportabout nosed out of the Kill van Kull, turned north across the Upper Bay.

Throughout England last week the retail price of tea- which Britons drink at the rate of 10 Ib. each per annum-fell fourpence a pound (8?), much to the satisfaction of poor and thrifty citizens who would ordinarily vote Laborite. Perhaps some of them will now gratefully vote Conservative. Therefore the angry Labor pixie spat at Conservative Churchill that his latest opus was a "Brib-ery Budget!"

...mile relay, V. L. Hennessy '30, leadoff man fell in the scramble at the start cutting off all Crimson chances in that event at the outset. The race was won by the Dartmouth quartet which the University runners defeated last winter. The Crimson four mile relay team was outclassed placing sixth in its event...
