...current number of the Advocate is by far the best that has been issued this year. It contains fewer pieces than the typical number; but its stores, poems and editorials are all good. The leading contributions, long, carefully arranged and artistically written stories, are a happy exchange for the usual expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon.

F. W. Palfrey '98, chairman of the committee on courses, has succeeded in obtaining more teachers from the college than was ever done before. His place will be filled next year by R. L. Hoguet...

F. Holt '99 will take part in the high jump. This event promises to be one of the best of the evening...
...North Shore Athletic Club nine beat the College nine in an exciting game by a score of 4 to 3 at Clifton, Saturday afternoon. The College nine made more hits and fewer errors than their opponents but were unable to make their hits at critical times.
