...Though slight in plot, "A Single Man" very easily takes rank with the best of Mr. Drew's "drawing-room plays"--a form of entertainment in which he has long held first place on our stage and which promises to remain popular so long as Mr. Drew finds parts to his liking. Without him Mr. Davies's comedy could hope for little; with him, and a carefully selected cast, it is highly amusing and altogether worth while. In the supporting company are Miss Mary Boland, Miss Thais Lawton, late of the New Theatre company, and Miss Carrol McComas...
...single basket, so far as the monopolized industry is concerned. Here the railroad analogy breaks down completely. Even if every railroad had a monopoly in the territory which it serves, there would still be many railroad companies. The danger of unprogressive management throughout the railroad industry is, therefore, slight. But in industry, the danger of unintelligent and ineffective management, the besetting weakness of a long continued monopoly, is too great to allow one, except as a last resort, to look with favor upon the establishment of a system of state regulation through an industrial commission.

But in spite of this a Crimson victory would not come as a surprise either to the supporters of the University team or to the general public which watches the game with keen interest. The Princeton, Carlisle, and Dartmouth games of the last three Saturdays have showed conclusively...
...double sculls race Chanler and Newton, after overcoming a slight lead of Eager and Morgan's at the start, were never headed. They finished about three lengths ahead of Strong and Mills, who were a couple of lengths ahead of the third pair. The last four boats were very closely bunched at the finish...
