...kind services of Messrs. Tyng and Thatcher. The odds against the Harvard men were, naturally, enormous; and the game terminated in our defeat by a score of eight to seven. The second innings was marked by a fine double play by Ernst, and in the following innings a splendid hit by Thayer gave three runs. In the fifth, a double out was made by Ernst, who obstinately insisted on catching a fly regardless of the earnest advice of his friends to drop it.

The "Polka" made the most decided "hit" of the evening, and was applauded as rapturously after, as before the encore. A Waltz, by Dudley Buck, which had never before been given in public by the Club, pleased the audience, though it was sung very unevenly and is a rather ordinary composition. The tenor solo was finely sung...
