...time approaches for the next game of ball with Yale, conjectures as to the probable result of the game become more frequent. Those who have not watched closely the scores of our Nine and of Yale's - men whose opinion has little value - say openly that our chances of success are few. Others who have been carefully comparing each score as it reaches us are in a much more hopeful frame of mind.

If such schools as Exeter, St. Paul's, etc., would make more of a feature of athletic outdoor sports, - make it a part of the course, in fact, - and provide proper instructors in running, walking, etc., the advantage would be incalculable...
...Burnham, the chorister, added to the enjoyment of the evening by some bright songs. The supper passed off very pleasantly. Many thanks are due to the committee for the energy they have shown, and the success with which their efforts have been attended...
