Judging from the progress that has been made by American colleges during the last ten years, the newspaper reports of college affairs ten years hence will read somewhat as follows :

THE YALE AND PRINCETON FOOT-BALL MATCH.Yesterday the long-expected foot-ball match, for the championship of the American colleges, was played by the representatives of Yale and Princeton in the presence of at least thirty thousand spectators, assembled in the new coliseum. A more sanguinary and exciting struggle has seldom taken place, and the list of killed and wounded reflects great credit upon both colleges. The match was played in accordance with the Roughby rules, one of which provides that the clubs used by the players shall each be four feet long, made of the best oak, loaded with lead, and weighing ten pounds. The Hon. Patrick McGinnis acted as referee, and sat on a platform in the centre of the arena, holding the ball on his lap during the entire game. The repeating rifle which he held on his knees in readiness to enforce his decisions was the same with which he convinced the Columbia men, two weeks ago, that they were guilty of a foul in the match with Harvard.

At ten o'clock precisely the Princeton men entered the arena; the Yale men appeared five minutes later. Fate, however, was against the New England college. At 10.45 the four surviving Yale men who were still able to wield their clubs cried for quarter, and the referee, announcing that Princeton had won the championship, delivered the ball to the Princeton leader. The casualties are : Three Yale men and three Princeton men killed; four Yale men and seven Princeton men wounded, two of the latter not being expected to recover. Robinson and Brown, of Yale, have each both legs broken, and Jenkins, of Princeton, has lost an eye and all his front teeth. The only incident which marred the gaiety of this most enjoyable match was the spoiling of the exquisite dress of a young lady well known in the fashionable world. A Princeton man scattered the brains of a Yale man all over the dress, but his apology was smilingly accepted, and the affair overlooked by the young lady's brother.

THE YALE-HARVARD ROWING MATCH.This event, which is to take place next Wednesday, promises to be an unusually exciting affair. The Yale eight, with the exception of the coxswain, are now in the hospital with malarious fever, but their physician thinks that they may be able to row on the appointed day. The Harvard stroke and bow had each an attack of cholera yesterday, and are still very low. Nos. 2, 3, and 6 are believed to be suffering from severe hemorrhages from the lungs, and the three remaining oarsmen are slowly recovering from typhoid fever. It will thus be seen that, on the whole, the two crews are in better physical condition than most of our professional oarsman are apt to be on the eve of a race. Harvard's boat was sawed in two for the seventh time this season a few days ago, and the Yale boat-house, with its contents, was burned for the fourth time last night. It is understood that every man of each crew has been heavily bribed to faint while the race is in progress, but there is no doubt that the bribes which have also been paid to them to induce them to win are very large. The betting, at last advices, was even, but President Hanlon, of Harvard, confidently informed a leading citizen of Boston yesterday that he might safely put his bottom dollar on Harvard. - [Harper's Monthly.
