fall before l3liss's '4l'JGl1llG1'S,ll and the following week Cranston and lVoonsocket were defeated for a second time. The fast East Providence team was defeated twice in games that were close and exciting. St. Georges School at Newport added one more to our defeats in a poor exhibition of baseball at Newport. After a hard fought battle Hope managed to defeat Teclmical for a second time, and then won an overwhelming 'victory from English. Then eanic our lirst meeting with Pawtucket, and in a game niarked by heavy hitting Hope Street won by six runs. ln a stubbornly fought game Hope defeated Classical for the second time. Hope's lVaterloo came next when our team was defeated in a closely contested game with Pawtucket, thus ending the league season, although Hope played two more outside games with North Attleboro and Moses Brown School, winning both, leaving Hope with a. most commendable record, having won tlifteen games and lost three. Much of the success of the team is due to the never tiring ett'orts of Captain Congdon and the willing spirit with which the men worked. On account of the small amount obtained bythe Subscription Lists and the number of suits that it was necessary to buy, financiallyg but with the generous gift of twenty-live Hope ended one of the most satisfactory baseball school. The batting and fielding as a whole was good in each case were as lolloxrs in batting: liudloi 288.

Cilrark The season for the track teams opened very favorably. There were several of the old point winners still in school and also some very promising new material Practice began early in the Spring, and Captain Seabury worked his team into line condition.

this meet the team did such line work that they were sure of first place before the ineet was half over. .Hope scored 41 points while Classical and Technical followed with 19 and 14 points each. Seabury and Crawford made new records with the hammer and shot respectively. Dining the week which followed the tea.1u worked hard and the weights-men received special coaching. Unfortunately most of the runners became over-trained. On May 30th the second meet was held under the auspices of Brown Univer- sity. This was open to all Preparatory Schools in Rhode Island, and was a very close and exciting ineet. The result was doubtful till the end, but Hope won by her superiority in the Held events. This was the first meet of the Brown Univer- sity linterscholastie League, and Seabury, Salisbury and Crawford have each estab- lished records with the hannner, the discus and the shot. A large silver cup has been offered and will become the property of the school winning three nieets. The cup is now in the possession of Hope Street High School, and it is sincerely to he hoped that we shall be able to keep it.
