Fact and Rumor.

A very small number of Princeton men came up yesterday to support their nine.

The CRIMSON dinner yesterday evening was very much enjoyed by all those present.

Mr. E. B. Stewart, '87, kindly furnished the drawing for the cut of the Mott Haven cup in yesterday's CRIMSON.

Chainey, the English coach of the Yale crew, has been released. Bob Cook will fill the position until the end of the year.

It was noticed by many yesterday that the Harvard cheer which is preeminent among the college cheers for dignified slowness, is gradually degenerating into the fast and frivolous "rahing" of Yale.

Blank-books for the final examinations in Spanish 1 and 2 must be handed to the instructor. For Spanish 1, before June 10th; for Spanish 2, before June 14th. No blank-books will be accepted on the days of the examinations.

The CRIMSON has received queries as to how a Harvard man can undertake to bring young ladies to a championship game and sit demurely on the reserved seats, without daring to open his mouth to send forth a cheer for his own college nine.

Winslow, '85 was out pitching for the nine before the game yesterday.

The injury which Brownlee, Princeton's catcher, sustained in his finger during yesterday's game, hardly spoiled our opponents' chances of winning, as their change catcher, Shaw, the captain of the nine, proved fully equal to the trying work in the last ten innings.

The foul which Allen caught yesterday afternoon was one of the prettiest occurrences in the game. The reporters were not a little surprised to find their table upset and their score books deluged in a flood of ice water. The pluck with which Allen ran into the formidable "board" elicited unbounded applause.

We have received from Rutger's College two copies of the tri-weekly of that college. It seems that there has been a split on the editorial board, and the dissenters have published a paper similar to the regular issue, with the same advertisements and the same board of editors on the first page. This freak of journalism is very amusing.

Found out at last. We have been keeping it a secret for years: "It is not strictly true that the Harvard DAILY CRIMSON is printed in its own office, and that two compositors are employed by the paper throughout the college year. The CRIMSON is printed in the office of H. E. Lombard, of Cambridge-port, and has been so printed for three years. The office is owned by him, and the CRIMSON is printed under contract, and the management has nothing to do or say with regard to the men who are employed." - Boston Globe.
