During these innings the Bostons fielded in their usual style and batted poorly, except in the first inning, when they scored four. With our Nine it was almost the reverse.

Whether there is at this moment open to undergraduates a course in which Constitutional Law is critically studied we are unable to say. If there be none, it is to be hoped that one will soon be supplied...
