...management of the freshman nine is doubtless eager to arrange as many games as possible with other clubs in order to have that practice which Harvard nines always need so much, and find it so difficult to get. We would suggest that a game be arranged with the Amherst freshman nine, if possible. This nine is to play the Yale freshmen on Saturday, and has already, we believe, played the Brown freshmen. A freshman nine from Amherst has not appeared at Harvard for several years, although several very strong teams have been put in the field by the Amherst freshmen...
...think that the base-ball management makes a great mistake in setting so high a price upon its season tickets. On examination of the present schedule of games, we find that a season ticket costs no less, or at least very little less than single fees paid at each game would cost; so that all the advantage of season tickets is lost.

With such high aims set before them, we do not see how the members of the college band can allow themselves to yield to any influences toward Harvard indifference which they may find around them...
...customary allowance. This functionary expressed a wish to view the improvements, and was conducted to the room in question, which he closely inspected, and then, with an ominous shake of the head, requested a sample of the wall paper, declaring that he would be obliged to analyze it, to find out if any arsenical ingredients were employed in its preparation.

We may go to destruction...
...that account more valuable. There remains nothing to be said on the theory of free trade; there remains everything to be done in arousing the American people. Tracts like this will be read by many who would not open a bulky volume of the same title, and they will find that what they regarded as the most confused and perplexing of subjects is not only comprehensible but also interesting. The style of the author is temperate throughout, and, indeed, he seems disposed rather to understate than to exaggerate his case...
