...were much pleased by the performance of the Pierian Sodality a week ago Tuesday. It was much better than last year. The orchestra played well in time and, as a rule, well in tune. The "Overture to Fra Diavolo" was perhaps quite as well executed as any thing which followed. The "Funeral March of a Marionette" would have been improved by a little more attention to accentuation; it lacked its full delicacy and grace. The same criticism might be made on the "Toujours ou Jamais," which did not need such a heavy accompaniment. So good, however, was the performance...
...desirous of a chance to study Mrs. T.'s character, and therefore I assented to this arrangement very cheerfully. I plied her with questions all the way, and I thus acquired many new ideas in relation to her husband's habits. I learned that he did not, as a rule, like Americans (thank Heaven!

The application...
...unanimity and unreservedness of the praise bestowed by the newspaper press, for three successive seasons, on the New London managers, is something entirely singular and unique in American aquatic annals. That praise would never have been won, however, had not those managers accepted at the outset, as a vital rule for their guidance, the theory that, in a college rowing contest on the Thames, a single race between two crews is the most that may be safely attempted within the limits of a single day. The experience of three seasons have simply served to strengthen them in that theory. They...
