Yesterday afternoon Eighty-nine and Eighty-seven played their second game together, but the result was somewhat different from the first game, in which Eighty-seven had a pure walk-over, owing to the fact that Eighty-nine had no pitcher.

B. Thayer. The award, which was made as stated above, was, while somewhat of a surprise to the admirers of the more finished style of declamation, certainly to have been expected by those who watched the effect made by the speakers upon their audience. It has now certainly been demonstrated that a certain type of declamation while deemed excellent will never here receive...
