Princeton will suffer a great many disadvantages from the loss of the cage, which was destroyed by storm last Commencement, and which was expected to be of such service, especially in batting. Mercer Hall has been engaged as a partial substitute, and a court for hand-ball practice has been there fitted up. This will...
