...watched with interest since it may be expected to show at least in some degree our prospects of success during the remainder of the season. The work that has been done in practice has certainly been earnest, the coaching excellent, and if our team win the championship the honor of the victories will belong to the students and graduates alike. So far as we can see not a stone that may contribute to success has been left unturned. The team is being trained carefully and the graduates have given liberal support both by personal attention and money...

Last year the first Harvard-Yale clay pigeon match ever held was shot in Cambridge or rather at the clubs shooting grounds at Watertown, and our team won the honor of being the only Harvard 'varsity team that succeeded in lowering the blue in 1889.

The poem contains 220.000 lines, with 18,000 supplementary ones, and is held in such high honor by Indians that it is learned by heart. The Indians sit around some Brahmin, and consider it one of the greatest boons to listen to him recite episode after episode. The metre is easily mastered and therefore easily imitated; this quality has led to many editions by Brahmins who desired...
