...style of living set by the large majority of students who come from wealthy or well-to do families is such that unless the poorer students live in much better style than the $500 limit, they will be very uncomfortable. In fact there is an aristocratic, moneyed atmosphere about Harvard which is very uncongenial...
Wonderful kicking. William P. Chadwick, yesterday, in a place kick at foot-ball, with run, sent the ball 200ft. 8in. and, in a drop kick, 168ft. 7in. If this report should prove true, Mr. Chadwick will have the credit of an amateur best-on-record in each style of eking. - Spirit of the Times...

The main story is a romance of American life, called "The Story of Gertrude Comstock," in which the composition and arrangement of the plot are peculiarly strong. The style is more of the old-fashioned simple sort, without the tiresome details of the present realistic tendency in literature. The two other tales, The Wanderings of Alexis II. and the Two Margarets are also vigorous and interesting. The verse contributions to the number are a rondeau. "Ah! Bye-gone Days...
