...WHITMORE, JR.,45 Hastings.THE Midsummer Number of "Tales from Town Topics," including a $1,000 prize novel, "Six Months in Hades," is on the news stands, and is a very lively volume, particularly suited to the season, and a very engaging companion for a railroad or steamboat journey. - TOWN TOPICS, 21 West Twenty-third street, New York...

The college...
...first place there was nothing novel in that proposal. The Yale and, Harvard nines have repeatedly played off a tie after Commencement Day. Indeed until Yale declined last year to follow the uniform precedents of twenty years, no question was ever raised as to the propriety of an arrangement like that proposed by us. Nor do we see how it could be more difficult for your nine to play ball as late as the Thursday or the Saturday of Commencement week than it is for your crew to row on Friday of that week...
