Osborn Hall, which is being erected on the Yale campus, to be used exclusively for recitation rooms, is fast nearing completion, and when finished will be one of the finest buildings belonging to the college, as well as the best equipped building of the kind in the country.

The performance as a whole is pleasing, and the troupe will doubtless be well patronized while at the Boston...
...match was shot in six rounds, three at each kind of birds. Yale won the choice of birds first and chose the keystones. In the first round Yale secured a lead of one bird and kept it until the third round when Harvard rallied and gained six birds over her opponents. The third round closed the first half with Harvard five birds in the lead. The second half was more spirited and both teams did much better shooting. Yale tried hard to overcome Harvard's lead but without success. The first round was a tie. A gain of two birds...
