...afternoon's trial was enough to convince the cricketers that Norton's field is utterly unfit for their purposes. As it is impossible to sod it, the candidates will practice on the upper ends of Holmes and Jarvis, as they did last year...
...seventh number of the Advocate must be considered one of the best that has appeared this year. "One of the Unfit" is of exceptional merit. It gives proof of a power of analysis possessed by few and of an ability to make details and accessories contribute to the general tone of the story which gives it, in spite of its melancholy, a strange charm.

Those singing now are nearly all untrained and after an hour's practice are almost entirely unfit for further singing. If there are any more first tenors in the class they would do well to try for the club before it is too late...
