a tussle at this noble game. Base ball is in a flourishing eondi- (lition, some very good material for the University nine having been obtained from the Class of ' 80. The Athletic Association has been able, through the liberality of two of the gentlemen of Fountain Hill, to otfer prizes for several of the contests this Fall.

The gymnasium is still viewed through a dimin- ishing glass, and the realization of this project is shrouded in the mists of the future. Boating matters remain about the same ; strictb ' speaking, a truthful man could not describe the boat club as an immense success. There does not seem to be much of a prospect for the boat house that is to be; in regard to these two matters we feed on air, like the chameleon, promise crammed.
