performances are remarkable in view Of
the fact that she was born with only ono

with tho remaining finger and thumb.
A slight toss of the ball, followed by a

In n fast, low service which her opponents

When forget old faults behind,
And search the years with forward mind,
What would seer
OF all tho days what would get,
Before that low green mound shall set
Earth's end for me2
True hope. farseeing looks, yet sees 4
No empty time of aimlcss ease,
And naught begun;
No idle space where might lie
And watch the sweating world toll by,
My part undone.
But when shall rise that last sure morn.
Still may stand amid the corn
All day to reap,
And when tho sheaves are heaped ut night,
AS fades the streak Of lonely light,
So may sleep.

any ono yet proved his master in fancy
skating and delineation.

In bicycles and is now an enthusiastic

Der of tho class of "A of Yalo, and to him
belongs tho distinction of having formed
the first boat crew ut Ynlo. It was in tho
spring of 1843. Ho purchased in New
York Whitehall boat, 10 feet long, and
took 1T with him on his return to New
Haven, where he induced six Of his class
mates to join him in forming boat club.
Tho boat was named Pioneer and tho
crew tho Pioneers. This was tho origin
of tho Yale navy. The Pioneers made
excursions to all parts OF tho north sido of
Long Island sound, and ON ono occasion
rowed across to tho Long Island shore.
When student, young Weeks walked
from New Haven to Boston in the month
of january, distance of 40 miles. Ho
started with q companion who abandoned
tho tramp before reaching Hartford, and
Weeks completed the balance of tho trip
ialone Returning, he carried grip
weighing IL pounds, but this did not pre-
vent him from walking So miles in nine
hours, including q halt of 90 minutes for
dinner.
