Under the Subject catalogue there are about 450 main headings, such as music, law, agriculture, etc. Under any one of these headings, for instance law, will first be found general works on the subject, arranged, under sub-heads, by authors alphabetically. Then would come groups, such as dictionaries, periodicals, society reports, etc., containing articles on both special and general subjects. Next come special works, arranged either as a branch-if there is need of further sub-division, in which case the name of the particular branch is placed on the same line as the main heading-or simply...

Never before have there been so many men trying for the Mott Haven team as this year. This is due in part to the impetus given to all branches of general athletics by the appointment of Mr. Lathrop, and to the untiring efforts of the officers of the H. A. A. in bringing out new men, and in offering inducements to steady work on the part of the older...
