...showing the nature and customs of a prehistoric people. Rev. Dr. Ward of America and M. Mamont, have done much to collect seals and vases which contain the various modes of expression adopted by the early Babylonians, and a greater part of what we now have, especially in the form of seals, is due to their efforts. Among the interesting speciments of the collection was one which had belonged to King Nebuchadnezzar. It was a book formed from stone into the shape of a barrel, being entirely solid. On it were various writings of historical interest...
...race next Saturday. We wish to protest most emphatically against such a decision on their part. After accepting Tech's, challenge Harvard is bound to make every effort towin the race. The contest is not between individuals nor between clubs but is in reality an intercollegiate event. The riders form a team in exactly the same way as the nine or crew-a team working not for their own honor but for the honor of Harvard. It is essential there fore that the best men should be willing to compose the team...

Henshaw caught in the first Philadelphia game, but not in his usual good form. The work of Howland in the second Philadelphia game and at Boston is well spoken of by the papers...
...second game arranged was with the Philadelphia league club. In this game Harvard played in very poor form and with an evident want of team work. Had Hawley received the proper support, Philadelphia would have only scored three runs in this game. The redeeming feature of Harvard's work was the fielding of Mumford, who accepted seven difficult chances in centre field without an error. Linn's fielding and batting were also good. Harvard's only run was secured in the eighth inning on a clean base hit by Linn and errors of the league players. The score...
