...concert closed with a remarkably spirited performance of Schubert's great C major symphony, which is the only symphony ever composed, except Schubert's other, in B minor, and some of Schumann's, that can rank with the best of Beethoven's. The magnificent passages for the trombones in the first movement, one of the finest things in all orchestral music; the opening passage on the hourns; the half-comic theme of the wood instruments, all were splendidly played. The andante conmoto, a long slow movement, is a trifle monotonous when played on the piano, but in the orchestra, with...

...long been known that in some notes such as those of the voice and stringed instruments, what we call the pitch of the note is accompanied by a number of higher and fainter pitches.

...white and lined with white silk. The front is ornamented with a dark blue shield and ivy branches. In the middle, worked in gilt, is a spoon with "Yale '92," while above and below are small slippers. The order consists of twenty numbers, all of which are round dances except the lancers which appear twice. Lander's string orchestra and brass band furnish the music. All preparations have been carefully made and there is every reason to suppose that the promenade will be an unusual success...
...first meeting of the candidates for the Princeton Track Athletic Team was held last Wednesday evening. Nearly seventy men presented themselves as applicants for positions. Among these were all of last year's team, except Dohm and Janeway. Other members present who scored points in the contest of last spring were Cary, Roddy, Bredenberg, Borcherling, Woodbridge, Jefferson and Turner. Among the most promising new men is Ramsden, who has made a record in the running broad jump nearly equal to the Inter-collegiate record. He will also enter the hurdle races. Other candidates who have done good work are Ottley...
