...which this gifted artist and her company travel. The most glowing descriptions of the Arabian Nights pale before it. Even the Prince of the Black Isles, who had so many charming young ladies devoted to him, never enjoyed the luxury of hanging up his clothes on a silver-plated hook, nor are we told that Aladdin's famous lamp was nickel-plated.

The fielding on the Harvard side was brilliant, Coolidge and Nunn making fine fly-catches, and Olmstead accepting fourteen chances on first base without an error. Knowles' delivery proved very annoying to the Beacons, and Stevens gave him excellent support behind the bat. With a little practice these two men will form a strong addition to the Nine, if not for this year surely for subsequent ones. Lloyd batted finely...
