...final "Har-vard" was broad and deep; in the Pennsylvania game the cheer could be but little distinguished from the short, sharp Yale yell. Even the "nine long Harvard's" which used to be so impressive are now cut much too short. The leaders of the cheering seldom try to maintain the old-time cadence, and there is danger that it will be entirely disused. The merest hint should surely be sufficient to check this tendency...
TONIGHT begins the third week of what has proved the most successful comic opera produced in Boston for a good many years, Browne and Thompson's "The Sphinx," which is packing the commodious Tremont Theatre to the doors and creating a sensation seldom equalled in the regular season. The coolness of the Tremont is something unprecedented, the decorations unequalled, and the special features with which the management regales its patrons have all proved very successful. In the lobbies, between the acts, a beautiful Egyptian girl, Frommia, clad in the richest raiment of the East, dispenses from an Oriental booth Egyptian...
...seems very unfortunate, that the disposition to make mere farces of the class baseball games is so general. The class nines have seldom been better able to set a high standard of play than they are now, nor has there often been a better opportunity for them to do service to the University by training material for the University nine. In any effort in this direction they certainly do not receive much encouragement. True, they have managed to play very good ball in spite of the uproar which is primarily intended to cause errors, but the conditions under which they...
...This play is one of the earliest, and not one of the best, of Shakespeare's works. The plot is so unreasonable, and one of the characters (Proteus by name) so preposterous, that it is easy to understand the infrequent representations of the piece. The reason for its being seldom given, however, lies more perhaps in the fact that, with the partial exception of Launce, who belongs of course to the low comedian, there is no first-rate character for any one player. Whatever the reason, it is certain that the first valid record of any performance...
There are about a dozen different species of snakes of which the commonest is the brown snake. It is, however, seldom seen at the surface of the ground except after heavy rains. The so called hog nose snake is named for its peculiar shaped snout which is used in digging in the ground for grubs. When attacked these serpents often feign death, and do it so effectually that people have supposed that they fainted from fright. The small green snake, and the larger black snake are both well known and perfectly harmless, as is also the pugnacious checkered adder...
