It follows very closely the track of its predecessor in the general plan, and even in such a small matter as the name of the hero. He is described as a "fresh, frank, noble-looking young fellow, full six feet tall, with an honest face, bright eyes, and thick, curling, chestnut hair," and is introduced talking with a "fine-looking young man, with dark side-whiskers," and "a smile which was strangely winning."

It is unfortunate that the visit of the Foot-Ball Team took place at the time appointed for the Club-races, for the general principle must be recognized that to be successful in athletics in all the branches we give our attention to, one branch should not interfere with any other...
