...play as good a game as they have in previous matches, but had no difficulty in vanquishing their opponents. The good fielding of Perry and Ernst, and the batting of Tyng, Sleeper, and Kip, the latter making a home run, were noticeable features of the game. On the part of the Browns, the principal good plays were made by Matheson, Comstock, and Allen. The thanks of both Nines are due to Mr. Stratton for his strict and impartial umpiring...
...long-courted obscurity of the society, now laid aside for the first time after eight years of successful existence. He then passed to his subject, "Genius," in the treatment of which he showed equal facility of expression and freshness of thought.

The duck's remonstrances were monosyllabic, partly expletives corresponding to those men use under similar circumstances...
