Thus the game was still a tie at the beginning of the seventh inning. But now the professionals begin to realize their danger, and, bending to their work, succeed for the first time in making any headway against Hooper.

Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta. Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here state that, though the article was necessarily written in great haste, our opinions in the main are still the same; and we regret that our space will not allow us to explain and answer this week.
