The main purpose of his journey was to obtain funds for his great Indian Institute at Oxford, and more especially endowments for scholarships, and also to collect objects for his Indian Museum.

As this is their first game this season their work as a team will probably not be as good as it will later on, when a few practice games have been played, but in this respect it will be much better than the American team, as the latter plays its first game as a team today with the Unions of Boston. The reputation for skill and science which the American team enjoys and the brilliant individual play which may be expected will undoubtedly result...
