...Tech has in Gurney, Poole, Chittick, and W. L. Smith a quartet of runners which will probably be able to make a clean sweep of the nine points here. Each of them has done better than 51 seconds, but it is a question whether they can all duplicate the feat on Saturday so either Colt or Merrill may place.

As long...
...virtual effect of dialect, in his "Translation from the Navajo", by a well arranged introduction of Indian words and by an imitation, in the direct discourse, of Indian simplicity of speech. But why does Mr. Morrison, in "Leaves and Fishes", cause his interlocutor suddenly to perform the impossible feat of abandoning his natural dialect when quoting the Baptist minister...
