...excellent base playing of Kent, he having but one error credited to him, and that an overthrow to third. Hooper pitched finely, as usual. At the close of the seventh inning the score stood 13 to 21, in favor of Harvard, and at this point the game should, without question, have been called; but it was allowed to continue, Boston scoring six in the eighth with no additional runs for Harvard. Although now quite dark, an attempt was made to play the ninth inning, but it was evident to all that it could not be completed, and if Harvard looked...
Lafayette Monthly.Pretty as this little sonnet is, we question whether its author has, in the last line, expressed the real feeling that comes over one in this autumn weather. It seems as if it were not simple enjoyment of existence, so much as a "dreamy" sadness, that can hardly be called such, it is so pleasing.

It must have been a proud moment for Captain Cook, and deservedly so, when his crew rested on their oars...
...question of the anxious Bentonians, in reference to the whereabouts of their friend, was answered by the sight of that friend moodily retiring from the spot where Bowie had passed him, evidently disheartened and disgusted. He may have trained on wrong principles; his style of running was certainly not good, - being too showy, and not at all easy or smooth; worse than all, he betrayed a lack of pluck, - a prime condition of success...
