This ended the game, Harvard winning by two goals and two touch-downs, Canada having obtained nothing. On the Canada side the best plays were made by Price, of Quebec, and by McLaren, Wilmot, Taylor, Campbell, and Thomas, of Montreal. On the Harvard side the most brilliant plays were made by Leeds, Herrick, and Wetherbee. Bacon and Cate made some long kicks, and Hall and Keyes proved themselves very effective in stopping and throwing their opponents. Messrs. Hare and Whiting acted respectively as umpires for Canada and Harvard; Mr. R. M. Esdaile was referee; Mr. Clouston acted as Captain...
...quote from a letter recently sent us by one of its members. Subscribers of course expect seats, and it is necessary to erect them temporarily for each match. The person who bought the seats last year finds it impossible to erect them for a single day at a smaller price than $75, - three times what he gave for them. To prevent non-subscribers from occupying the seats, it has been found necessary to rope in a portion of the field, and to hire police-officers to guard it against intruders.

The above Regulations to be in force till further Orders, the afores 9th Law of Chap- 6 notwithstanding...
...enterprising shop-men of Saratoga could stock their counters with what was really Harvard's color, and not, as last year, sell quite another shade from the true one. Moreover, ribbon can be manufactured much more reasonably abroad; and the club ribbons furnished at a very reasonable price, and of satisfactory quality. Any large house would contract to furnish Harvard with all the ribbon needed, and then we could be sure of having it all alike. The suits, too, could be made there for less than is charged here, and the whole probably would cost less and be more satisfactory...
