...first event was a race between tandem birch canoes, one miles with turn, in which there were three entries: (1) C. Greene, '89, and Vaughan, '90; (2) Townsend, '89, and Holder, '88; (3) Deblois, '89, and Marquand, '89. The race was well contested, Greene and Vaughan winning in 11m. 8 1-2s.

Moen got in some fine sprinting here, and he and Bodley breasted the tape together, tieing for the first place in 24 1-5s. The field events were closed with the running broad jump between H. B.

...shows power of observation particularly in the character of May Vernon. One who is familiar with a country church and its ways will be keenly interested in the story of "The Reverend Ambrose Wilson." The plot is less worthy than the treatment, and were it not for an unsuspected turn at the end, would seem shallow. The ins and outs of country churches, however, must have been observed to have been so well portrayed. The essay on Philip Dormer Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield, though instructive, well written, and displaying in its argument original thought, seems somewhat out of place...
