...cricket team leaves today for its first championship match, not, to be sure, with the brightest prospect of success. Harvard can scarcely hope to defeat an eleven containing five or six of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia team which is to visit England next summer; but the college will expect a good showing even against these odds. The eleven has been improving lately, and with sharp fielding and steady work ought at least to keep down the runs. Cricket has taken a good start this year, and more interest has been shown in it than in former years. The eleven ought...

Following this Prof. Cohn will read the second play which is to be given by the society in May, L'Affair de la Rue de la Lourcine.

From all over the country, especially from the West, and from the large cities comes the call for more clergymen. Every college man should answer fairly the question...

The short sketch, "In the Train," by R. W. Atkinson, is one of the brightest bits of the number. Mr. Zinkeisen, in his "Heine's Pictures of Travel," displays an intimate sympathy with the author, as well as an understanding of his moods and surroundings. "The Difference," a continuation of "Is there a Difference?" which appeared in the last number, is a natural piece of dialogue...
