After a ten minutes' rest the second half of the game began, the Canadians having the kick-off this time. This half of the game was characterized by some magnificent playing on the part of the Canadians. The beautiful runs of Perram and Taylor, and the kicks of Wilmot and Scriver, were duly appreciated by the spectators. Nor were the Harvards lax in their endeavors to increase their score, though their play as a whole was not so brilliant as in the first half of the game. Herrick made a fine diagonal run, gaining half the length of the field...
HARVARD vs. McGILL.A game was to have been played between the two colleges some time in November, at Cambridge, but Captain Whiting was asked if, through courtesy, he would play in Montreal, and it was decided to play at half past ten, Monday morning.

But it is highly probable that, having heard that Eastlake furniture was the fashion, he employed somebody or other to get up his rooms regardless of expense, and that at this moment he is not able to tell half so much about his own furniture as you can. My old Smith's room was magnificently "gotten up" by a millionnaire upholsterer from New York, but as household art had not been invented at that time, it was full of gilding and bright color. And when I tell you that...
...shall say but one word more. Don't spend too much money on your room, for you will be less and less in it every year. If you become a grind, you will spend half your time in the Library; if you become a man of fashion, in society, societies, and the clubs. And that the latter fate may be yours is the sincere hope...
