Those students who witnessed this game were repaid for the trouble of their trip by the sight of one of the most interesting contests of the season. As the score shows, each side had made two runs at the end of the seventh inning, and at that time a glorious victory for Harvard seemed at least possible to her excited partisans. But the batting of the Mutuals in the last two innings was too much for our amateurs, and we were obliged to content ourselves with having fought a good fight. The playing of our out-fielders was up to their highest standard, and the rest of the Nine did themselves credit. Tyler reassumed his old position on third base; and, considering his recent recovery from illness, played very well. Hooper made four base hits.

We give the score:-
