That of Dartmouth is decidedly ludicrous, to say the least, but is more or less typical of the college whence it comes. Princeton's is novel and impressive. Yale's as usual...
...Military Company, Cambridge City Guard, formerly commanded by Col. W. A. Bancroft, are holding a fair in Lyceum Hall. Be sure you visit it and see what they offer on sale. Have you seen the "Expert" Columbia Bicycle, the billiard cue, Fairbanks and Cole banjo, Winchester repeating rifle on shares at this fair. If you are a marksman try for the Ballard rifle at the shooting gallery connected with the fair. The fair closes Saturday evening...
