Dabney and Gardner played a fine game at the net throughout. In the first part of the match the former was a trifle weak on his serve, and was inconsistent in volleying lobs.

...University at the close of registration on Monday, October 5, and the figures for the corresponding date last year. The total registration of the University, including the Summer School, is 5077.

The figures show a net loss of 71 in Harvard College, the increase in the number of Seniors being more than offset by the considerable losses in the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior classes. The Lawrence Scientific School, which is passing out of existence...
