...study in history, the book is exceptionally concise, and thoroughly satisfactory with the exception of the study given to the period more immediately previous to the dynamite period of agitation. The author has not sufficiently noticed this period of the revolt, and as a result, the book somewhat unnaturally falls into two parts,-preparation for the revolt, and the revolt itself. The treatment for the preparation of the revolt is a masterly effort, and is thoroughly exhaustive.

An east wind somewhat inter fered with the runners as it blew directly in their feces as they came down the home stitch, and it is surprising that such good time was made in the running events. Indeed, the contestants succeeded in breaking three records, two American college records, and one Harvard record. The track was in perfect condition, and the management almost perfect. The races were called on time, with...
