...base-hit, and was beautifully fielded out in attempting to steal second by Tyng to Sawyer. In the twenty-third Carl missed Dow's foul bound; the latter then retired by the sharp fielding of Woodhead to Cogswell. Sawyer flied to Say; Leeds hit hard to Woodhead, who threw wildly to Cogswell; Leeds then, by dancing around his base, annoyed Snigg into a wild pitch, which gave him his third, where he was left by Tyng striking out; Mincher retired by Leeds to Wright, a good assistance; Say drove a hot liner to Ernst, who caught it in his right...
...event of the season at Cornell was the Navy Ball. The committee fully met the heavy responsibility cast upon their shoulders by providing "good music, a nicely crashed floor, and a good supper." "The ladies threw their sweeping trains in graceful curves, conscious of an admiring eye over yonder in the corner, while the gentlemen, perfectly overcome by this generous display of gracefulness for their own special benefit, now also make a desperate effort to appear graceful, causing a smile of pity on the faces of the ladies."

Cushing got the ball and was making for their line when he was caught. He threw the ball to Rollins, who succeeded in gaining a touch-down. H. W. Cushing failed to mark the place with his heel, and on getting into the field, the Canadians charged, and thus an attempt for another goal was lost. The play was now nearly all on the Canadian side...
SILENTLY the pale blue flames waved and danced over the surface of the coals, as, sitting late one wintry evening before the fire, I threw aside a volume of the "Demonology," and fell into a revery. On a sudden several taps at the door aroused me, and I remarked, "Come in." That the rapper came in was not to be wondered at (such a thing had happened before); but that he entered directly through the door without opening it certainly authorized some expression of astonishment. I raised my eyebrows and looked more closely at my visitor...
