...result of the game with Yale was a genuine surprise to all. The possibilities of defeat had been calculated upon, but neither side was prepared for such an utter rout as our Nine experienced at the hands of Yale, last Saturday. The defeat was not due to any fault of the Nine, who have, since the commencement of the season, improved every opportunity for practice offered them, and who have labored early and late to put themselves in the best possible condition for the season's work; yet had not the rains of last week prevented the Nine from playing...
...quite large. Game was called about three o'clock, our men going first to the bat. They succeeded in obtaining one run, and managed to give their opponents a whitewash. In the second inning Harvard scored 2, Yale again retiring without a run. During the next three innings neither side scored; and up to this point the game was remarkably well played, and the errors were few. In the sixth inning our Freshmen made four runs, and the Yale men made three. There were several very bad plays on both sides, over throws in particular. In the seventh inning Fessenden...
...second game of the series was played on the 17th, and was highly exciting and interesting. The Bostons put in the Whites to pitch and catch, with Manning in right field as change pitcher if needed.

The shoot of the arms should be smoother, lighter, and easier, and more uniform in the motion. Neither the stroke, nor the feather, nor the recover should have any jerking, harsh motion or hanging about them in any part. Let each man in the crew grab firmly all he can hold (and no more) and row well home without jerking. More ease and uniformity in all parts of the stroke and a better control of the various...
...another room, we find a handsome set of shelves of the "Eastlake pattern," filled with well-bound books. The whole affair adds a great deal to the general effect of the room. In fact, it harmonizes perfectly with everything else there. It is neither too large nor too small, too wide nor too high. The books are not too brightly gilt, nor are they too sombre. But this is the very thing that leads me to doubt. I cannot believe that, however sincere in construction the book-case may be, the owner's heart is in his books. I fear...
