...DESIRE to make known in the columns of your paper the true state of things in regard to the arrangement of games this year with Yale and Princeton. All the statements that I have seen so far have been erroneous. We shall play a game with the Princeton Nine on Saturday, May 15, in Princeton, not in New York. The Princeton Nine wish to play us a return game in Boston about the last of this month. The games with Yale have not yet been arranged. I have written to Yale, offering to go to New Haven or to Hartford...

Shortly after midnight "Auld Lang Syne" was sung, and the company proceeded to wend their way towards the Square...
...your columns to a few words in the interest of aesthetics, which would probably be excluded by the prejudices of a less enlightened periodical. My subject arises from the murders which have been committed recently in this neighborhood, and as I have already used the word "aesthetics" in regard to it, it is therefore needless to say that I am a disciple of De Quincey. I lay no claim to originality; my sole ambition is to raise a warning voice in defence of that art which derives its dignity, nay, its very birth from my great master. Surely you will...
