Among the Topics of the Day the "Sentimentalist," the frequenter of Cornhill second-hand book-stores figures in a short, well-written essay. "Prescience," though a graceful piece of vorse, can hardly be said to impress one with a true poetic feeling...
...about the game, some to the effect that Harvard had won, and no authentic information was had until about nine o'clock the true score was brought out from Bostom. Such a state of uncertainty was a source of continual worry and anxiety, and no wonder men felt as though they had not been treated fairly.

...meeting was an informal affair, managed entirely by the officers of the association, but it has an important bearing on the New York games. The first event was the 120 yards hurdle race. Bell, '91, gave Noble, '88, 10 yards handicap but did not succeed in overhauling him, though he covered the distance in 17 4-5s. Noble's time was not taken.

Kernan, Seymour, Herrick, Ackerman, Mink and others before Senate Committee on Railroads. 1886; report of this same committee, pp. 147-154, 213-219; Hadley, chap. vi.; Quarterly Journal of Economics...
...Carpenter's yodel will be greatly missed another year, as it has formed one of the most attractive parts of the programmes for several years. The last number of the evening was the "College Lyric" which was composed by Leo Lewis, '88. It shows a well-developed talent, though a little too difficult for the Pierian, and the chorus was rather heavy. The programme was much shorter than usual, but was lengthened by the encores...
