...very well suited for the use of the crew. The men now stripped their coats and proceeded to load their baggage upon the "Niantic." At 5.45 p. m. the steamer started off, towing the two shells in her wake, and the crew started on a brisk steady walk toward their quarters. The distance is only six miles, but the road is the dustiest and hilliest in the country. At six o'clock they reached "Red Top," their quarters. The freshmen were just starting out for their afternoon row. They were looking in first-class condition...
...plans as first proposed formed a hollow square-two wings connected with a porter's lodge by stone walls-but the present form is that of an L with the open side toward North Avenue. The material will be of Perth Amboy brick with terra cotta trimmings, and the floors will be composed of iron beams covered with terra cotta bricks, thus making the building as nearly as possible fireproof. There will be about fifteen suites on each floor, and the building will be four stories high above the street. Five entries, instead of the usual two or three, give...

The ball was drawn off at the centre, and had been in play hardly a minute when Tudor, by a good throw from the side, scored a goal for Ninety...
...victory for the freshmen by a score of 1 to 0. The game was well played throughout, and Ninety-one showed up better than on any previous occasion. For the first time in the series the sides were even. Soon after play began the ball was forced toward Ninety-one's goal, but the defence played a strong game, and Morton had no work to do until the first half was nearly over, when he made some good stops. The time of the second half was shortened to fifteen minutes, and had nearly expired before either side scored. After...
