The team was defeated by the St. Marks School eleven, and by the Harvard second eleven.

Primrose and West's Minstrels came to the Boston theatre Monday night for a week's engagement. The company is one of the strongest organizations of the kind, and is being very well received by the public. A number of new features have been added, not ably the "Big Four," and Hurley and Auken, who do some wonderful things on horizontal bars.
