Since the spring of 1882, when the marvellous success of the presentation of Oedipus Tyrannos at Harvard warranted the reproduction of that play in New York, no Greek play of any description has been attempted here. It is with a fraternal feeling that we hail the advent of the "Acharnians," to be presented to-night by the students of the University of Pennsylvania in New York.

It is apparent from the interest which has been shown in this branch of athletics this fall, and the success which attended the recent meeting of the association, our prospects for making a good showing at the Inter-Collegiate games next spring, are unusually bright.
