...then going around again to the start, I took the time, and gave him the word. The way that horse shot into space! I felt the sulky lengthening out under me. The pressure of the air was such that my ears, which nature erected at perfectly true right-angles with my head, lay back upon it as flat as if naturally coalescent. I shrieked at the flying steed that perhaps he had better save himself a little. Vain, futile words! they never reached his ears till he went round the track and met them on the other side.

...three to nothing against the first named team, our men showing themselves throughout (to quote a New York paper) "A well-trained, active, and heavy team." We think that by its energy and perseverance in the face of indifference and discouragement, the Lacrosse Team has proved incontestably its right to the support and approval of the College.

It is our earnest hope, however, that...
