Though the score stands three to one against our nine, they have every reason to be proud of their record. The game was certainly the best-played one of the season. Where all did so well, it is difficult to particularize; but Kent and Hodges deserve especial praise for their fine fielding, while Hooper led at the bat; and the latter's pitching was also very effective, and was well supported by Sheahan behind the bat.

Three months we have been waiting to read their comments; many times we have repented permitting any one to criticise their taste or their wisdom.

...least, a ready sale. The first was doubtless suggested by an article in the last Magenta. It is entitled "A Complaint of the Increase of Beggars in the University," and, as we read it, we were in full sympathy with the author throughout. It is divided into three parts. The first is merely introductory, yet very interesting; the second describes a plan of the author for lightening the burden of the "American poor-rate" (as he calls our voluntary charities), and how it failed; the third gives suggestions as to the best way of discouraging mendicancy. We quote the second...
