afternoon before tar sized audience,
mostly students In the main the
records were not as good as last year
as the track was quite soft and slip

News of the Week.
The ball game Saturday between
the Academy nine and Dartmouth
'93 was won by the visitors by the
score of - to 7 through the poor
playing of the home nine in the first
inning. The AcademyS made five
runs in the ninth inning. Although
the gate receipts were larger than
ever before nevertheless the crowd
on the railroad track, who watched
the game without paying, was larger
than ever, and acted in a very unbe-
coming manner. The campus be-
longs to the students and persons
have no more right on there while q
game is in progress than going into
Music hall during an entertainment
without paying.
The following are the Student edi-
tors for next year: Editor-in-chief,
William ]. Boardman; senior editor,
L. A. Goodrich; senior editress,
Mary Ide; middle editor, A. L. Sher-
man; middle editress, Ethel Bying-
ton; business manager, E. l.. Nye.

envy to the number of about 60 have
procured splendid crayon portrait
of DIR. H. T. Fuller, the principal here
previous to Mr.. Putney, who is now
at the head of the Worcester Poly
technic Institute. The portrait will
be hung in Academy hall.
The officers of the ball team for
next year are as follows: Captain,
w. c. Smith; manager, A. L. Sher-
