IT is reported that only four men have elected Nat. Hist. I. for next year.

THE last words on the paper in English II. were: "Well, do not swear." But everybody swore, and some twice.

TWO Scotch football teams are to visit this country, and have strangely chosen next spring as an appropriate time.

OUR chapel choir's singing is like drift-wood floating on a stream - it drags on the bars, but don't amount to a dam. - Princetonian.

Pierce, and Francis E. Parker, all of this State, Thomas Hill (Portland, Me.), and Joseph H. Choate (New York).

THE Harvard Register for June is the best number that has yet appeared. It is a model of typographical excellence and care, in which respect we know of no other American magazine, excepting, perhaps, Scribner's, that equals it. The articles this time are unusually interesting, comprising a paper on Phillips Exeter Academy, by C. G. Kidder; The Agricultural School as a Preparation for the Study of Medicine, by Professor F. H. Storer; another batch of General Oliver's Reminiscences; essays by Professors Trowbridge and Shaler, and several other contributions. The Class of 1830, by G. W. Warren, is a pleasing record of a class which produced Sumner. 39,000 copies of the Register have been published in the seven issues up to the present time.

THE bath tubs in the Gymnasium have been abused. Some persons who were too aristocratic to lie down would put the cricket in the tub and sit on it. This, of course, was ruining the bottom of the tubs, and to stop it the crickets have been taken away and replaced by plank seats.

The Directors for the Senior Class are, of course, entitled to be present.

MR. E. J. WENDELL, '82, won easily the final heats of the 100-yards and quarter mile runs at the Rye A. C. Games on May 31, but as he had not been able to run the trial heats (owing to a dislocation of his elbow and wrist, which the doctor was setting when the trial heats were called), the first medals were both given to the second man, J. H. Rumner, of the Staten Island A. C., the Secretary of the Staten Island A. C., with a knowledge of the above facts, having entered a protest against Mr Wendell for not running in the trial heats.

PERSONS leaving the Yard on Class Day for the last time should be careful not to give their tickets away to boys loafing at the gates.
