HARVARD VS. PRINCETON, Jarvis Field, May 22.

This was our third game with Princeton, and, as she was defeated in both the former games, a like result was looked for in this one. Our men, however, had to cope with a remarkably strong Nine, flushed with their victory of 10 to 9 over Yale, and anxious to hang the Harvard scalp in the New Jersey wigwam. Our Nine, owing in part to their crippled condition, but principally to their traditional weak batting, was hardly equal to the occasion. The game was an exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made in an amateur match. On our side, Cutler's play in left field was remarkably fine; Kent, Hodges, and Annan were quick and accurate in their several positions, while the pitching of Hooper won general praise. White was so unfortunate as to receive a foul ball in the eye, in the eighth inning. His place was occupied by Perry, catcher of the Freshman Nine. This game does not give the championship to the Princetons, as they have not won two games out of three.

We give the score:-

HARVARD. PRINCETON.
