...Senior Class theatricals, of which we spoke in our last number, seem to be progressing favorably. The Committee who have them in charge have chosen several plays from which the final selection will be shortly made. At all events, it has been decided that there shall be three performances with two different casts, and on each occasion there will be given a farce and a burlesque. The Glee Club will sing between the acts, and thus add another attraction to the theatricals and form an additional element of their success. We hope certainly that undergraduates will not be satisfied with...

Steeple-Chase was the final event, and crowned a good day's sports with an interesting and amusing race. The entries were open at the stake, and were filled by some ten men. The start took in a good broad jump over a wide hurdle, and after that the course lay over fences, hurdles, etc., for nearly three quarters of a mile. The scene created much amusement, as men went hobbling, falling, and crawling over these obstacles. As they approached the finish, it was plain the contest lay between Torrey, '82, and Butler, '77. It was won by Torrey, with...
