Within 15 minutes after their arrival all four crews were sent out on the Thames river. The University eight rowed down stream to the Navy Yard, a distance of two miles, maintaining a stroke of 30, which was raised to 32 toward the end. On the return the crew was accompanied by the University four-oar and the Freshman eight-oar crews...
Yesterday the University team held a long batting and fielding practice, followed by base running, which was poor in the Cornell game.

Reid, Jr., '01, he threw with good speed and accuracy. Simons fielded well in his new position...
...Pagliacci in 2000 A.D.", written and staged by S. Baird '03, is a versatile skit on the future development of the opera. Assisted by R. Nichols '05, Baird acts the chief part in an attractive fashion. The costumes are appropriate to unusual personages, the properties go a long way toward satisfying any desire for the unexpected. Striking turns and impersonations of well-known stage characters, such as Caruso or Houdini, add to the novelty...
