...room to indulge in the rich treat in store, to meet a real Socrates, who buttonholes me through the Yard, persisting in lecturing me on the Antwerp galleries, which he had visited last vacation, when the criticisms of a Ruskin or a Reynolds might have been enjoyed instead...
Seventh Inning. - Wright hit a terrific liner to Brown, who juggled it and entitled Wright to a base-hit; Winsor hit gently to Carter, who, instead of doubling up Wright, gave him his second by a poor throw to Walden; then the hippodrome began. Howe tried to sacrifice, but Walden fumbled; bases full, Nunn tried to fly out, but Walden muffed, Wright scoring; Thayer tried to sacrifice, Walden threw wildly home, Winsor scoring; Tyng tried to sacrifice, Walden threw wildly home, Howe scoring; Latham struck to Hutchison, who made a fine pick up and forced Nunn out on home; Ernst...
...question the wisdom of this method in the particular cases that we have in mind; there may be reasons strong enough to justify its adoption. On general principles, however, the system is not a good one.

...reproduce, for the benefit of future ages, the exact tones and expressions of great orators like the Rev. Joseph Cook and Daniel Pratt. An autophone of the babel at Memorial Hall during dinner-time would be a valuable means of awakening old recollections.

...consequence the starters in the different events were, as a whole, more nearly "fit" than they have ever been before. The time made in the Hundred-Yard Dash and Quarter-Mile Run was most excellent, - remarkable when we consider that it was made on a track of loose dirt, instead of a cinder path. The Bicycle Race produced capital sport, every inch of the three miles being closely contested. It was, we believe, the first race ridden by amateurs in the country. Next fall, with a proper cinder track on Holmes or Jarvis, we hope to see larger fields...
