...played his usual steady game in the field but failed to show up very well at the bat. At second, Haughton was decidedly off his form, being accountable for several loose plays which were more or less inexcusable. His batting also seems to have fallen off considerably during the past week...
During the past year there have been no changes in the Corporation, but the Board of Overseers has Francis Lee Higginson '63, James Jackson Storrow '85, and George Angier Gordon '81, elected for five years in place of Thomas Jefferson Coolidge '84, George Otis Shattuck '51, and Charles Russell Codman '49, retiring, with Charles Joseph Bonaparte '71, and Charles Follen Folsom '62, reelected for five years.

If such proves to be the case, the advantages accruing from a more minute treatment of the question under the three steps of the new system will hardly justify its permanent adoption, for preliminaries should be so arranged as to attract not only the best but the most debaters to compete...
