...purely literary articles, all have the merit of attempting something difficult and interesting. The attempts are, however, not uniformly successful. Only one of the poems is satisfactory. In Mr. H. E. Porter's "Horace's Garden," we find marble statues keeping guard against the snares of wind and rain, and silence muffling a landscape with a counterpane,--figures too metaphysical to be happy. Mr. R. J. Walsh's "The Death of Cleopatra" has gained a prize as a translation from Horace. Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez's "Odalisque," clear in thought, admirable in melody, worthily maintains the standard of "Advocate" verse...
Yale won the annual dual shoot held on Soldiers Field Saturday morning by a score of 176 out of a possible 250 yards. A very high wind was chiefly instrumental in keeping down the scores. The best individual score was made by J. R. Gilman '09, who broke 41 out of a possible 50 birds. The complete score follows...

Vilas '08, of Yale, finished first, covering the six and three-quarters-miles course in 37m., 51s., which was considered good, as the wind was very chilly and quite strong...

Aiken is the most imaginative thing in the issue. Mr. Alfred, Noyes's "The Flowers of Old Japan" is appreciatively noticed...
...first of the annual inter-dormitory bumping races was rowed upstream yesterday afternoon, over the one and three-eighths mile course, finishing at the end of the long stretch beyond the second bend. On account of the roughness of the water and the strength of the head-wind against which the crews had to contend, the rowing was not as good as might have been hoped. Owing to the fact that the men in the foremost boats were unable to hear the pistol fired from the launch, the starts in both divisions were unfair. In the case of the second...
