...much; fifteen to the crew, ten for a supper in town last week, and four dollars for pool today. Of course I can't put down the two last, as, if there is anything that the head of the family abominates, it is after-theatre suppers and billiard-halls. As for the rest of the money, I don't know where it's gone. You don't suppose I go round with a little book in my pocket, and every time I treat a fellow to Vichy, put down 'Vichy (treat to Jack) 10 cts.' I am not so miserly...

Before the new building is begun, it is to be hoped that a definite plan (irrespective of existing buildings, if need be) for the buildings of the Yard may be agreed upon...
...breeding, it is useless for us to argue the point with him. And however unsatisfactory this may appear, it seems to be the wisest course left for us to follow. As a matter of fact, the editorial and letter in the Advocate not only did not exaggerate, but hardly put the case strongly enough. The particular points therein specified rest on the authority of more than one witness, and something more than a general denial is needed to disprove them...
