Harvard on winning the toss promptly decided to bat, but the beginning was most disastrous. Six good wickets fell for but one run, and had it not been for the plucky stand by Austrian and Lee, the total would have been insignificant. As it was the innings finally closed for 37, a poor score even against such strong bowlers. Patterson's bowling record of five wickets for no runs in twelve balls, is worthy of notice as the best on record in a first class match...
...prosperous beginning was now made in the field, when 3 good wickets fell for 12 runs; but H. I. Brown and Griscom made a long stand, carrying the total up to 48 before the former was well caught by Lee. Wickets now fell slowly, but regularly, the last man, Patterson, being disposed of just as 130 was posted. Griscom's 51 was a first class performance. Brown had the best bowling average.

The grounds themselves are very attractive; as you enter, on the right is a high bank on the side of which the grand stand is situated. Gradually sloping upward from the grand stand is a large grove of forest trees, on the edge of which the very pretty stone club house stands. On the top of the bank there is a private road running along under the shade of the trees, which affords a chance...
