PHILADELPHIA, PA., April 25.--The Harvard relay teams arrived here at noon today after a pleasant trip. The men are all in good condition, having had a good night's rest on the boat. The weather today is cloudy and it is likely to rain before the meet. This afternoon the men walked to Franklin Field, and looked over the track. None of them did any work except DuBois, who ran a slow half-mile...
...tiresome, were not at least one of these articles of exceptional merit. This one is "The Plays of M. Maurice Maeterlinck," by H. S.

...December," by Warren Seymour Archibald, is well-imagined and well-expressed. There is certainly real and deep poetic thought in "Corrupt," by Henry Wyman Holmes--thought that in this instance is yet, perhaps a little incoherent in its expression. In "A Sunset," by Henry James Forman, a simple and pleasant imagination is simply expressed. "Calypso," by Lauriston Ward, surpasses the three poems mentioned above in both the aptness and music of its wording...
