...attired in a light-blue dress coat, with frosted metal buttons, a white waistcoat and nankeen trousers, with patent leather shoes. He wore round his neck a variegated satin scarf, in the front of which was inserted a breastpin of conspicuous dimensions. Having descended the staircase with a quick step, he entered the apartment where his brother and a few friends were awaiting him. He shook hands cordially with all present, and on being asked how he had slept, answered, "Very well;" and to the further demand as to the state of his mind, he said, "Reasonably happy...
...which height was cleared by G. B. Morison, '83, at his second attempt, the cup therefore being awarded him. G. H. Heilbron, '83, the Harvard light-weight champion, and O. J. Lowman, '84, were the entries for the featherweight sparring, Heilbron again proving victorious, though Lowman was plucky and quick. The tug of war between '81 and '82 was won easily by the Seniors, who pulled their opponents over in two straight heats. The judges of the fencing were Messrs. Norman, '81, and Cushing, L.

I don't like the stroke Jennie Sinews sets : she buckets, and isn't quick enough on the recover. Then, the bow there is terrible, terrible. Sal Biceps will never make a good oar : back's too short; all her strength lies in her arms. As for Billy Pigmy, the coxswain, he'll lose his head when he sees Biddy Cooke's crew alongside of ours at New London. There! look now, how your...
