...series of books edited by F. Y. Parker entitled "English" History by contemporary writers. The former volumes of this series have been exceptionably good, not only for general reading but for historical references. The book just issued proves to be in no wise inferior to the previous volumes. To mention the subject "The third Crusade of the Christians under Richard I of England" is enough at once to awaken an interest even in the casual reader, The doings of the doughty Richard Coeur de Lion, have always possessed that romantic air of mystery which surrounds the period of the middle...
...game was very poor and hardly deserves any mention at all. Neither pitcher could handle the ball and both sides indulged in hard hitting, especially '90, who got an absurdly large number of hits-twenty-one with a total of thirty.

Wright, '91, as Damoiseau, was especially good, although the others showed evidence of careful preparation in their parts. In the second play the acting of Messrs, Wright and Sweeny deserves especial mention. The principal characters were well supported by the minor roles. Both plays went off smoothly. The audience caught the spirit of the comedies, and showed their appreciation by liberal applause for the actors, and the Banjo club, which kindly assisted the Conference by several selections. The programme was as follows...
