...difficult motions by the strings was perfection itself and could only be accomplished by strings such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra possesses. The Concerto for pianoforte was performed by Mme. Anna Clark-Steiniger in rather a lifeless manner. The Concerto is thoroughly Mozart in character and rather tedious than interesting. Mme. Steiniger was very well received by the audience, and was given an encore. The Hungarian rhapsody, No. 2. of Liszt, was also well rendered, the weird character of the piece being carefully observed by the director. The Symphony in D m'nor by R. Volkmann, has been heard...
...third act, with lightning, stage thunder, dark woods, and all the necessary adjuncts. With the exception of the bull-fighters, dance at the end of Act I and the Tarantella at the end of Act II, there is little to raise the performance above a tedious mediocrity...

The only course in which a knowledge of them can be acquired is in Physics C where only the last four months of the college year is devoted to their study and the first five are filled with tedious experiments on force, light, sound, heat, etc. on which many students do not care to spend their time. The science of electrical engineering has assumed immense importance in the last few years, and in some institutions, notably the Institute of Technology, the subject of electrical engineering forms, by itself, a complete course...
...final bout in the light-weight wrestling between Craig and Austin was the only really tedious event on the programme. First one and then the other seemed to have the advantage but without any effect. After numerous holds had been taken and broken the judge gave them a lock hold and Craig was quickly thrown. Time, 15m. The second round was finished in about one third the time of the first, Austin getting a firm hold around Craig's body and easily throwing him, thus winning the bout...
