...current number of the Manhattan magazine is by far the best number that has yet appeared. the principal articles are "Edwin Booth," by H. C. Pedder; "Literature and Science," by Matthew Arnold; "Recent Tendencies in American Journalism," by E. V. Smalley; "One View of the Chaucerian Mania," by Kate Sanborn; "Jasper Francis Cropsey," by W. H. Forman. Julia Hawthorne contributes a short story, and Edgar Fawcett continues his novel. The number is well illustrated throughout, the frontispiece being a portrait of Edwin Booth...

A programme was arranged for the meeting in May. The date was settled as the 24th, and the place Manhattan Grounds. This decision caused much dispute. The programme differed from last year only in this respect, that the tug-of-war will be pulled on cleats instead of on the turf. This is a much fairer method of pulling. Almost every year hitherto it has been found that the ground...
