V : T1IE MAGAZINE. The April number of the Mag azine came out last Saturday. It approaches more nearly its ideal as announced in its pros pectus. It is now for' sale at Bretano's, New York. This issue was copyrighted but owing to some mistake of the printers, no statement to that effect appears. '; There are two portraits, one of Sir Walter Raleigh which, we understand, is its first reproduc tion in America (the portrait of Chief Justice Gale in the last; issue was the first reproduction of the Little Portrait); the other of Judge Martin, accompanies a bio graphical sketch: which together with "The Great Elegy" gives some idea of the kind and quality of the undergraduate work in History and English. By pub lishing such articles one not only aids the Magazine but adds to his own reputation. v The societies have acted wisely in giving to the public such es says as that of President Polk, written when a junior here, for what is more beneficial , to young men than the study of great men and how they achieved greatness, especially when the facts are brought home to us, as in this case by his being a graduate of the University ? Concerning the evidences of budding - genius in the essay, we will let each decide for himself. The management of the Mag azine should consider itself fort 1 unate , indeed in having such a contribution as ' 'Jacqueminot Roses' ' by Miss Ednah Proctor Clarke, whose poem in the At lantic Monthly received so many, and deserved compliments. Spring has indeed come when such flowers bloom. The remarks on the motto and seal of the Province of , North Carolina are well-turned and to the point. "Newbern in 1819" with notes by Dr. Battle can but interest all thoughtful readers. We venture to assert that his knowledge of this subject is second to no one's. When a new student went to see President Battle he was often astonished at being called by name, and frequently knew, when he left, more about the history of his own family. ; The editorial on the establish ment of a University Press is able and impartial, while a more de tailed account of the amount of work would probably have been more convincing such is not the proper sphere of an editorial. Those undertaking such an en terprise should be willing to in vestigate the ' details for them selves. We are glad to see that the names of those reviewing books have not been left out as hereto fore. One gets but little credit for the amount of time spent on such work, at the, best. Yet a really critical and thoughtful review speaks for itself. It commends itself by its sincerity in pointing out the bad as well as the good and by giving the reviewer' s for his expressed opinions. Such, we think, are these. Under "Current Comment" there is a statement that the base ment of the library is to be used for baths, etc. Such a plan was proposed but the idea now is to have a building erected for that purpose immediately behind the South Building. The cost of digging a ditch deep enough to drain the basement would more than pay for the necessary build The improvements for the li brary are not galleries but new stacks whether steel or wood has not yet been decided. The compliment paid the. Uni versity of: Virginia Magazine must be well deserved. Two short poems from ' it appeared in a late issue of The University Magazine of New York. 1 Did the managing editor score one on "X" or on himself by the cartoon in this issue ? The book he is reviewing does not appear. There are five new ads. in this issue, one each of Columbia and Harvard. The offer of board and tuition to the one obtaining the largest number of new subscribers will doubtless increase the sale of the Magdzine and be of great service to those who are so fortunate as to win. The decoration of the ball room for commencement has been given to Messrs. Mittledorfer & Soiis, of Richmond. The decor ations will be different from any preceding ones and very hand some. . The full length of the room will be shown this time in stead of cutting it off in front as before. The full height will be kept and the drapery of the ceil ing give place to another equally attractive style. The First Regi ment Band has been- employed; so we are now assured of our cus tomary excellent music. NOTES ON THE GAME. This game served to show us that that part of our playing we have worked hardest to better is good the batting. Jones is an excellent pitcher, and our fellows showed well i n getting twenty hits with a total of twenty-seven bases. But it can be made even better, so let's keep on. We can not win unless we bat, everybody must bat, two or three cannot can not do it all. The base running was excel lent, but might not have shown up so well had the Durham men been in better condition. The team needs practice in tight places, for they went to pieces in the seventh inning. Stanley is awfully slow in his throwing. Ellis seemed to get rattled and Oldham had two passed balls. It is indeed a pity that Oldham's wrist is so weak. That was the sole cause of those passed balls. We wonder how it would do to have Honey cutt back there and play Oldham in right field, with Bus- bee on the line. The captain can manage his team from the coach er'shne according to the rules. Oldham will be needed for i his batting a u d excellent throwing, and he can go in behind the bat any minute he is desired. , He plays a good field, so requires little practice there. We hope this will be tried in one of the Vermont games, we must learn our very strongest combination before we play any of the championship games. Tha features of the game were Robertson's pretty catch in the last inning, which was excellent Moye threw in one ball very well indeed from a deep field. Stevens is a slugger with the bat no doubt. The batting and base running was good all around, especially Gray, Moye and Oldham. PERSONALS. W. W. Ashe, '91, of the State Geolagical Survey, "Uncle Sam" was here last week. gone Robt.
