The day was exceedingly unpropitious for base-ball, a high wind prevailing which blew directly in the face of the batsmen. Owing to afternoon recitations at Princeton, game was called at 12 o'clock, with Harvard at the bat.

They both protested strongly at first against my odoriferous experiments, but presently I succeeded in arousing some enthusiasm of the science in my classmate, and invited her in one afternoon to witness some interesting experiments.
