Amherst.- A new ball-field has been purchased at a cost...
...twenty-four innings, decided to call the game a draw, the score standing zero to zero. This is by far the most remarkable game on record; and the inability to score was due not only to the dead ball, but also to Ernst's puzzling delivery and the brilliant fielding of the Manchesters. The game was called at 3 P. M. by Mr. Holmes, '78, the Harvards being at the bat.

Our Captain said that as no agreement had been...
...altogether, Seventy-nine may congratulate themselves on having successfully presented a bright and amusing play before an audience even fuller and more "swell" than these theatricals generally have. We notice that Mr. Grant did not appear, his part being left out. The play last evening was "The Field of the Cloth of Gold." This evening and to-morrow afternoon the Seniors give the burlesque "Fair Rosamond." We would again remind students that this is the last year the theatricals can be given, and that, if they wish ever to see them, now is their last opportunity. Tickets can still...
