...FERRY, June 15.--This afternoon the University crew took a hard row down-stream under favorable conditions. The time was 21m. 9s. The work showed much improvement, especially in watermanship. The Freshman eight went over the first mile of the course with the University boat, and by rowing a somewhat higher stroke, finished half a length ahead of it. The University crew then went over the rest of the course alone, finishing very strong. Ober replaced Swaim, who is slightly indisposed, at bow this morning, but Swaim took his place again during the time row this afternoon...
...life, the speaker said, is cut across by certain paths. From generation to generation, men follow somewhat in the same ways as the men before them. There is the way of sensuality, wherein follow men of many kinds of physical lust and hunger, but all alike in that their goal is the satisfaction of physical pleasure, men who--"eat, drink, and these are bitter and proud,--and they who have failed, and these are bitter and harsh.

Miss Matthison gave a portrayal of Rosalind that satisfied one's desires and ideas for the character, even while it enlarged the consciousness of what these ideals might be. Mr. Greet, as Jaques, though somewhat more meditatively good-humored than suits the customary idea of the "melancholy" Jaques, was consistently excellent in his acting of the part as he interpreted it. Mr. Henry Hadfield played the part of the banished Duke with dignity and effectiveness: Mr. Stanley Drewitt, as Orlando, though inclined to speak some...
...showed improvement in all departments over the form displayed in the Princeton game. Although a tendency to hit at bad balls was noticeable, the batting was more reliable than usual, eleven hits being made against Spring, who was, however, of no more than average ability. The base-running, although somewhat stupid, was much more intelligent than in last Saturday's game, while the nervousness which was so characteristic of the fielding then, seemed entirely absent. Three errors were made, but the general play was characterized by speed and precision. Coburn pitched creditably and showed marked improvement both in speed...
