...each party evincing much enthusiasm at the brilliant plays of their respective favorites; neither side scored in this inning, although O'Rourke led off with a base hit, his temerity in attempting to steal second rendered him an easy victim to Tyng and Sawyer. A heavy fall of rain rendered the continuance of the game an impossibility, and put a termination to one of the most exciting games ever witnessed and by far the best ever played by either of the contesting nines. The heavy batting, and at the same time the effective pitching, as may be seen...
Cambridge University Athletic Sports. - These sports were concluded March 31, and, in spite of rain and heavy wind, the time made in the "hundred" and "hurdles" was remarkably fast, while the distance covered in the long jump was most extraordinary, the trial-jumps being the five longest consecutive jumps on record, and in individual length very near the best. 100 yards, G.

The weather was all that could be desired; but the turf was somewhat wet and slippery from the rain of the preceding day. About five or six hundred people assembled to witness the game, mostly friends of Princeton, though we were glad to see among the crowd several fair wearers of the crimson...
S.THE COLUMBIA GAME.The game with Columbia, postponed from Friday, was played on Monday in a severe rainstorm. Both teams were late in arriving. Cushing won the toss, and chose the northern end. It was ten minutes past three before the ball was kicked off. The rain fell in torrents, and the men were soon wet through. In a few moments the ball was rushed down towards Columbia's goal, and before she knew it, Cushing, M. S., had obtained a touch-down. Harrington quickly got two more. The ball was punted out, but no goal was secured. Then the ball...
