...order of Athletic events will be found in our brevity column. It contains all the features of the former tournaments, with the exception of the parallel bars, - an event which proved uninteresting from the want of skilful contestants. However, there are still events enough to occupy the full time of the meetings. We are pleased also to note that the sports have been changed to the afternoon; a time more convenient to all, we are sure, except our good Boston members, who may consider the change an encroachment upon their Saturday promenades in town.

It is apparently a judicious combination of "Paradise Lost" and "Queen Mab"! but after deep consideration we are still unable to decide whether it is a parody, or intended to be serious. "I'll nip the canker in the bud" is a pleasing, though at first sight a startling figure; nipping cankerworms must be an agreeable entertainment on a spring morning in the country.
