THE K. N. Society is preparing some theatricals.

ENTRY-BOOK for the Scratch Races is ready at Richardson's.

PAYMENT of subscriptions to the University Boat-Club is now in order.

ABOUT $600 was cleared for the crew by the Glee Club and Pierian Concert.

THE Everett Athenaeum will give an entertainment at Exeter in aid of the boat-club there.

THE Freshman Nine beat the "Cambridge High School," on April 29, by a score of 10 to 3.

THE Freshman Nine played the "Newtons" at Newton, April 20, and was beaten by a score of 7 to 4.

THERE will be a base-ball match to-morrow, at 3 P. M., on Holmes Field between Wesleyan and Harvard.

THE Union four are rowing regularly, and make a heavy crew. They are pulling the old '76 stroke, and are doing very well.

MR. ROBERT P. HASTINGS, '77, has been appointed manager of the Base-Ball Nine in place of Mr. S. Shillito, resigned.

MR. PACH is now ready to furnish the pictures of the individual members of the Crew, the Nine, and the Foot-Ball Team.

MR. PACH will photograph the Senior class in a group, Saturday morning, May 11, at quarter before eleven, on the steps at Memorial Hall.

THE Cambridge Subscription Assembly will take place this evening at Lyceum Hall. Tickets, at $2.00 apiece, can be obtained at 17 Matthews.

THE Scratch Races take place to-morrow at 11. In addition to the races for sixes, fours, and singles, there will be a canoe race and a Rob Roy race.

THE Freshman Nine will play with the St. Mark's School Nine at Southboro', to-morrow, and with the Adams Academy Nine at Quincy, next Wednesday, May 8.

NO one will be allowed to row in the Scratch Races unless he makes the necessary payments beforehand. Last year, after the races, it was found almost impossible to collect the money.

THE rumor that a Portuguese edition of the Crimson, for circulation in Brazil, is to be undertaken by one of the editors who will imitate the Spanish editor of the Advertiser and the French editor of the Advoate is strictly incorrect.

PACH has now taken all the photographs for '78, excepting the groups, and more views that are to be taken after the leaves are out. His work has given unusual satisfaction to the Faculty and to the class. The studio will be kept open for a few weeks for the benefit of other members of the University, to whom Mr. Pach will give liberal terms.

OUR sporting editor authorizes us to say that, in view of the prompt manner in which the table at Morgan's has subscribed for a cup, he will guarantee $15 more for a mile-run. Now, won't the Advocate attend to the mile-walk, the Lampoon to the hurdle-race, and some of the club tables to the hundred-yards, two-mile run, broad jump, high jump, etc., etc.?

C., CAMBRIDGE, MASS.DEAR SIR, - At a meeting of the Navy last Thursday it was resolved not to accept Harvard's challenge for a University race.
