Although we do not consider Harvard entirely out of the race, still we think that the pennant will go either to Yale or Princeton, with a chance in favor of Brown. They have played a magnificent game thus far, and in the face of hard luck. Yale's main strength lies in the abilities of her pitcher, Jones. The Princeton team is a hard one to beat as she has so many old ball tossers. - [Mich. Chronicle.] Is not the Chronicle a little premature in its prognostications...

...field for the lacrosse men; but, just about the centre, the cricket men have their "crease." Thus a stretch of field, for about two hundred yards, is broken by a little patch of green of about thirty feet long. Then, again, why could not the lacrosse men practice on either Jarvis or Holmes two or three times a week, and the two base-ball nines accommodate themselves to one field on those days?

By the kindness of the "warden of the tower" we were allowed to pass through the forbidden door "into the loft." This abounds in unfinished woodwork and undisturbed dust. Through the middle runs the picturesque ventilator, which might be converted into an elevator for passengers to the tower (two cents a trip). After much climbing we reach the balcony (where the pigeon holes are), and here...

...more than probable that field day will be observed annually at Cornell in the future, which cannot fail to have a beneficial effect on her athletic interests. Most of the events were creditable, and in several the Cornell record was lowered. The money realized will be used either to furnish the students' assembly room, or to send representatives to the inter-collegiate meeting at the New York polo grounds. Major Burbank was the referee; Professors Hale, Crane and Schaeffer were the judges...
