...singles, Niles beat K. Howes 2L. in two interesting sets. The first was easy for Niles and the score in games was 5-0 before Howes tallied his one. The second set was much closer as Howes picked up on his serves and played a fine net-game. Both men ran directly up to the net after serving. Niles was never outplayed, however, and his volleying was excellent...

And this idea of excellence, of which so few of the thousands of his hearers had any true conception before they listened to his talk, was the keynote of most that he had to say to them. The course professed to be about Greek art, and certainly nobody was better qualified to illuminate that subject; but it was wonderful to observe how he showed that such a seemingly dead...
