...their last game for the championship. But it is of almost equal importance that a large number of persons should go down to New London to the race. The tug must not be occupied by Yale men alone, and the greater our representation the better. Comparatively few men ever see any commencement exercises until their own turn comes. With these extra attractions we hope to hear of a great many staying over till the first of next month...

Ingersoll's articles, and have, it is said, refused to grant to Mr. Jere Black space for more answers. The last number containing a paper from Col. Ingersoll, thought...
