...vastness of his genius and allowed much of his work to be lost. The different careers of the two men are illustrated by the style of their works, Handel's being adapted to please the masses; he aimed to delight the many, while not displeasing the few. The result is that his works have a certain popular character. One secret of his success is found in the fact that he used largely English words. Bach, on the contrary, strove only to produce the highest and best works his genius could evolve. His fame conse quently was almost wholly posthumous...
...Mott Haven Team will proceed as quickly as possible to the formation of a tug-of-war team. Yale has had hers at practise several days. Our team had such an easy time last year that the men would be apt to be over confident as to the result this year. Hard, steady work however, is necessary to defeat the teams Lehigh and Yale will put in the field, and the team cannot begin work too soon...
...ball is the third sport which has been evolved from native crudity into its modern phase.

...consequence a more careful study of the principles of rowing has been made by the individual men than ever before. Every possible attention is paid to watermanship, especially to an effective and graceful method of handling the oars, although the body swing is by no means neglected. As a result of this careful and intelligent work, our crew is rowing in good form, and at an exceedingly fast rate for this season of the year. The class crews are all distanced by it with ease, although they have the advantage of lighter barges. Mr. C. P. Curtis has acted...
...easier and gentler shoot. As the crew is a light one, the stroke rowed will probably be faster than heretofore. The body movements within the boat, with one or two exceptions, are generally very good. In fact, there is a precision and evenness of movement, which is the result of careful training in the gymnasium. The crew is now being coached on the dip, finish and feather. A considerable part of the stroke is lost at both ends, by clipping and an imperfect finish. The individual faults are as follows: bow settles at the finish; two hangs at the finish...
