...ready to take us ashore. The mouth of the river is perhaps a hundred feet wide, and the shallow water shows us a shingle bottom. On the bank a small French Canadian settlement manages to support itself and a few ponies. Little carts are the common vehicles for these rough roads, although we sometimes meet the luxurious bumping-board to remind us of New England.

...Cricket Eleven, in spite of the rough in the Advocate, will probably be made up of Messrs. Ames, Dwight, Green, Harris, King, Lee, Rives, Spinney, Sullivan, Tilden, and Upham. The game with the S. Paul's Eleven is indefinitely postponed, but another game with the Albions will be played soon...

Among other things it discusses the place of the next Regatta, approves of New London, and thinks that extortion would be the chief feature of a Regatta at Saratoga. It loses its temper in an attempt to "rough" the Magenta for venturing to say that in its last number it indulged "a wee bit in braggadocio," and makes one remark which may have been funny when it first appeared in Yale papers, though we have forgotten, and another which we do not repeat, because we are unwilling to believe that more...
