THE Everett Athenaeum is soon to change from its present room in Holden Chapel to other quarters.
OFFICERS OF THE HARVARD ART CLUB. - President, A. Belmont; Secretary, C. Isham; Treasurer, J. L. Du Fais.
THERE will be a meeting of the French Club, of special importance, next Monday evening; a full attendance is desirable.
THE certificates of admission to the Harvard Athletic Association can be obtained at the room of Mr. J. T. Linzee, Holworthy 17.
THE question of more waiters at the Commons Dining Hall will probably be decided upon at the meeting of the Directors this evening.
THE services at Appleton Chapel on Sunday next will be conducted in the morning by Professor William Everett, and in the evening by Rev. Francis G. Peabody.
A TRIAL will be made very soon of two six-oar crews, to aid the selection of men for the University crew. A similar trial is to be made next spring, we understand.
THE wonderful diligence lately shown by the Juniors in studying the Old Testament is doubtless traceable to the recent abatement of Sunday morning prayers.
THE officers of the Harvard Glee Club earnestly request that both past and present members will return books borrowed from the Library during the last two or three years.
THERE will be a football match next Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, on Jarvis Field, between the Sophomore and Freshman Tens. The plucky kicking of '78 promises a close game.
THE bonfire last evening in front of Holden was the occasion of one of those reckless displays of heroism which will some day immortalize our College fire department. The cheers with which the assembled crowd rewarded the prompt appearance of the "engine," and its approach to the very edge of the conflagration, were only equalled in heartiness by the interest manifested in the chief engineer's skilful disposal of the department, and his clever manipulation of the water-pail.
THE battle-flags of past regattas have at last been removed to a more congenial clime than their recent location amid musty duplicates.
AMONG the most recent additions to the College Library are between two and three hundred volumes, the gift of Dr. Green, of Groton. A thousand German books are expected this week.
M. LECOCQ, the composer of La Fille de Madame Angot, is engaged on a new operetta entitled Frederick the Great. The scene is laid in Holland, and the flute-playing monarch is the leading character.
THAT there are inconveniences attending the drinking of cocoa by a club of five hundred students is attested by the fact that the first evening it was served in Memorial Hall some eighteen table-cloths were seriously stained.
THE Nine play the Bostons to-morrow afternoon on the Union Grounds. All should go to help out the finances of the B. B. C., if not to see the prettiest and last game of the season. It is expected that Mr. Tyler will play on the Nine.
THE bath-rooms in the South Entry of Matthews, that have heretofore added rather to the completeness of the building than to the convenience of its occupants, have, through the efforts of Mr. Mercur, '77, been lately fitted up in a comfortable style, and are now enjoyed by those who have the privilege of their use.

ACCORDING to the amendment of the Constitution of the H. U. B. C., it is required of the Assistant Treasurer to publish in one of the College papers every month a statement of the amount collected during the preceding month, and of the sum still necessary to be obtained.
Of the Subscription List of $ 1,572 there has been collected $ 214, and of the $ 400 from rent of boats and admission-fees, $ 63, - making a total of $ 277, and leaving still to be raised $ 1,695, besides $ 1,300 to be divided among the classes, according to Art. VIII. Sec. 3 of the Constitution, and $ 232 due from the Class of '76.
From Subscription List of $ 1,572.00 - $ 214 = $ 1,358 to be collected.

GEO. H. BRADFORD, Asst. Treasurer.MESSRS. A. and C. Black, of Edinburgh, have in press, for immediate publication, a complete edition of the works of E. A. Poe. This collection will appear in four monthly parts, containing many new pieces, and will endeavor to place this eccentric author in a more favorable light.
EXTRACT from the themes of 93 Juniors, see Psalms i.; from themes of 67 others, "token of Divine favor."
WE wish to fill up an omission in the list of Directors of the Memorial Hall Association. In conformity with the rules of the Association, the students from the Harvard Medical School have had a meeting and elected Mr. H. Richards their Director.
MANY Juniors went last Sunday evening to hear Rev. Mr. McKenzie preach on the Blessing of the Old Testament, - a very interesting theme for this class. Finding the church closed, they listened to some pithy missionary statistics, but learned little of practical use; the only resource was the Volume itself, which, we believe, was thoughtfully placed on the shelf at the Library.
ALL students desirous of enjoying the privileges of the Reading-Room are invited to call at Hollis 3, between 2 and 4 P. M., and take certificates of membership. The fee remains at two dollars. It is desirable that those who have not already paid should do so immediately, that the Directors may be enabled to provide such an amount and variety of reading matter as is demanded by the needs of the Association and the position of our University.
ALTHOUGH several notices have been given of Professor Bocher's course of University Lectures for this year, we wish to repeat the substance of these notices here, that no one may miss such an excellent opportunity of studying French Comedy, through any misunderstanding. The lectures will be free to all students of the University who have sufficient knowledge of French to obtain practical benefit from attending them. Any member of the public at large, whether man or woman, can obtain a ticket to the lectures for the small sum of fifteen dollars. The lectures will be given on every Saturday through the academic year, at University 16; they will be delivered in French, and their subject is Moli&`e;re and French Comedy in the Seventeenth Century. Tickets can be obtained at the Steward's Office, Harvard College.
THE Freshman Nine played a nine composed of members of the Institute of Technology last Saturday afternoon, and were beaten by one run. The batting of the Freshmen Nine was heavier and more effective than their opponents, as the total of base hits shows:-

Scorers, Mr. Sauzade and Mr. Allen.
Umpire, Mr. Mead.
CRICKET.ON Saturday, the 24th inst, the Harvard Eleven, assisted by several graduates, played a practice game with the First Eleven of the Boston Club. Both Elevens lacked a man, so that substitutes were necessary in the field; and at the bat one Harvard man was permitted to go in twice.
The Harvard Eleven went in first, and scored 53, the same number they made against the Bostons in the Spring. After a short pause the Bostons took the bat, and made 130. The game was decided by the result of these innings.
The batting of our Eleven was very weak, with the exception of a fine stand for 27, made by Dwight, '74, who took the first over and saw eight wickets fall before his own. Mr. Tilden's hitting was also effective. The fielding of our Eleven, too, with the exception of Garrett and Bruce, was far below its standard, although Withington's long stopping was good. The bowling was good while the men were fresh, but as the innings lengthened the number of wides rapidly increased.
The bowling and fielding of the Bostons was of a first-class order, and the batting of Pettitt and Clark was a fine display of skill.
The Bostons, after their summer's play, are in excellent practice, and with their professional player form one of the strongest Elevens in the country. Our Eleven suffered from the loss of one of their bowlers, and were, as a whole, quite out of practice, even in fielding. They are to be congratulated for doing as well as they did. There is promising material in College for a good eleven, and Mr. Lee hopes to have a team in the Spring whose record shall not fall behind that of '74.
Appended is the complete score:-
