...followed here. Among other notable sketches are some studies by Ruskin and a series of illustrations by Darte and Gabriel Rossetti, which should attract much attention from the signatures, if for no other reason. Mr. Moore also has some very fine water color sketches from Venice and Italy, which show an extraordinary delicacy of coloring. As the exhibition will close in a few days, and we feel confident that very few persons have visited it, we would again urge every one to take a few minutes of his leisure time for this purpose before the end of the week...

Says the Courant: "The result of the games played thus far by the different colleges in the league for the college championship are very encouraging to Yale's prospects for ultimate success, which are increased by the manifest improvement in the nine.
