There is very little plot, and the action centres around the four principal characters: Littlewit, a proctor; Busy, a Puritan; Cokes, an esquire of Harrow; and Overdo, a justice of the peace. The scene is laid at Bartholemew Fair, where the characters have gone for recreation. Cokes is buying toys and ballads, when Edgworth slips up and picks his pocket. Justice Overdo, who is present in disguise, is accused and placed in the stocks. Then the Puritan Busy enters, and, filled with fanatical zeal, tries to destroy the gaily-colored booths. He is also put in the stocks, where...
...London; taken as a whole the men pull well together. The crew has been twice down to the basin; yesterday it continued in one long stretch past Harvard Bridge almost to Beacon street. Richardson, Severance, and Fish are occupying the same seats they filled last year. Lunt, however, has gone to four and Faulkner has been shifted from three to bow.

Consequently there are only two new men in the shell at present--Sargent and Bacon; they and Morgan fill up the three...

The very decline of interest in intercollegiate sport will make our teams deteriorate and as they deteriorate the interest will continue to decline. The result is not nice to contemplate...
After the puck had gone from side to side several times, and Harvard had missed two chances to score, Rumsey scored on a long shot. The next goal was made by Hicks, who scored from a scrimmage in front of Princeton's goal. On the next face-off Read secured the puck and lifted it into the net from the middle of the rink. The University forwards then came down the ice together and Paine shot a clever goal from the side-boards...
