...return game with Brown was played in Providence on Friday, June 7. A high wind prevailed, rendering hard batting impossible. The game was fairly interesting up to the ninth inning, when six errors by Brown, base-hits by Thayer and Fessenden, and a sacrifice hit by Ernst gave Harvard four runs. Errors by Thayer, Wright, and Ernst and two passed balls gave Brown a run in the ninth. In the eighth inning base-hits by Howe and Nunn and a sacrifice hit by Thayer gave Harvard an earned run. Ernst and Howe did most of the work for Harvard, while...
...SAGACIOUS Junior who takes an elective in Chemistry, on presenting a package marked "Soap," at the post-office the other day, was informed that soap was not transmissible by mail. He consulted the United States Postage Laws, and discovered that "chemicals, hard, and non-explosive," are included in mail matter, so he marked his package, "sodic sterate, hard, non-explosive," and presented it to the post-office clerk. It is unnecessary to add that no questions were asked, and that the package reached its destination...

A., because the applause of the spectators is distracting to hard workers who wish to keep their windows open. We have no high opinion of the man who plays on his piano out of hours with a free use of the loud pedal, and we think no punishment severe enough for one who makes a practice of shouting to a friend...
...game. By all means let the Harvard men keep together on the grounds, and, if possible, persuade the Nine, by their hearty applause, that they are playing on Holmes Field, and not in a strange land. However good intention an audience may have, it is always hard to recognize the fine points in an opponent's game. The men who go to New Haven to-morrow should mass round a crimson flag, and shout themselves hoarse, if necessary...
...prizes given in each instance will be handsomer than ever before, and they are worth hard work. Those offered by the kindness of private gentlemen and club tables are made conditional on a given time being equalled or beaten, and that is quite right; if gentlemen subscribe handsome medals or cups, they do so to induce men who do not train for the honor or love of athletics, to train sufficiently at least to make our time creditable and respectable. Were we to criticise the gentlemen at all, it would be rather on account of the generous allowance of time...
