THE base-ball match on Monday last between the Sophomore and Freshman Nines resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 19 to 10. The Freshmen plainly showed great want of practice; but they appear to be a stocky set of men, and now that the field back of Lawrence is no longer occupied by the Foot-ball Team, the Freshmen should take advantage of it to play regularly.

IT is said that as long as a dog is thirsty, there is no fear of hydrophobia. This is a most comforting reflection for all of us who are daily edified by the thirst (after knowledge) of a spitz dog belonging to one of the professors. The longing glances which this animal casts at the windows of U. 9 from the steps below are truly a rebuke to those - if there be any - who undervalue their advantages.

THE large Whitehall boat, so familiar to frequenters of the boat-house, is to be immediately refitted for service and once more launched. It will be remembered that this is the boat in which the present vice-president of our Boat Club, with the assistance of Mr. Faulkner, last year heroically rescued from drowning a man whose shell had capsized. The craft will be moored at the float, for the general convenience of the H. U. B. C., and under the careful and experienced attention of the vice-president, it will hereafter be regularly used as a life-boat. This assurance of means of rescue all ready in case of accident will satisfy an imperative need of beginners in the noble art of sculling, and will give them courage for renewed exertions.

THE Weld Club at a meeting on Monday evening decided to change their colors. The choosing of the new colors was deferred on account of the small attendance at the meeting.
