...system on trial this year will be satisfactory. The impetus given to rowing last spring proved the success of basing the contest on class feeling, and it is to be hoped that this may be increased by the race to-morrow. Since a great deal depends upon the support given to their oarsmen by the members of each class, a large attendance will go far towards insuring a good exhibition...
...number of men who would not otherwise take part in an established society wish to devote themselves to some interest which they have in common, we see no reason why they should not do so. But if these men will leave some older organization, which needs their support, to start a new one, which may fall to pieces after a short and precarious existence, we think they should consider well before making the attempt.

As Marguerite in "Faust" she fails almost completely. As Mignon she is a little more successful. In the support Mrs. Seguin easily leads, and her singing and acting are as enjoyable as ever. Messrs. Tom Karl and Castle are fairly successful in their roles. The stage setting and general ensemble leave much to be desired. This evening and to-morrow afternoon "Paul and Virginia" will be given, and on Saturday...
