...model to planters on the Pacific coast. The arboretum will doubtless become to the university and to the Pacific slope what the Arnold Arboretum here in Boston is to be to Harvard University and the northern Atlantic slope. Senator Stanford has decided to devote to the arboretum as much space as is needed to contain every tree that can be made to grow in that climate with the aid of irrigation. The trees are to be planted in open order, and arranged with siestas and views, so that the place will have the features of a pleasure ground in addition...
...planted with shade trees. All this work is to be done immediately, and all land within the limits of the town not to be presently occupied is to be closely planted and thinned out before the growth becomes crowded. Clearings are to be made as, from time to time, space is wanted for buildings, and it is intended to enclose building sites not expected soon to be occupied, with hedges.

Mercer Hall has been engaged as a partial substitute, and a court for hand-ball practice has been there fitted up. This will be a good place for battery practice, but the space is too cramped to allow any batting. It is likely that Irwin of the Philadelphia team will be engaged to coach the nine. Among the candidates are Ames, King, Durell, and Dana of last year's nine. Of these Ames will probably play second base, King, (captain), pitch, Durell take...
