It was 'well played on both sides and the visiting team was simply outclassed, noth- The -Lafayette team was worse for wear when they played the first game on Wed nesday, ' having- had a rough trip over from Charlottesville. But they had gotten in good shape by Thurs day and the gfame was played on its merits. The game that Carolina played on Thursday only serves to show what good work the team is capa ble of when it once gets together and ceases a certain unnecesary hab it of making- errors. The team played a good game and they de serve praise for the work that" they did. And we know that they are going in to win for the, balance of the season. The standard yester day was reaching- up towards that of last spring-. By the way, it is rather a striking- coincidence about the score of that first game, wasn't it? Lafay ette beaten by the same score by which they defeated Virginia. Won der what our Virginia friends think of it? The Brooklyn Team. Candor compels u s to observe that the make-up of the Brooklyn team was not altogether as hand some as might have been desired. Yet what they lacked in looks they made up in batting-. And still the work of Brooklyn as a professional team was a little disappointing-. It is true that our pitchers were hit freely aud that quite a score was run up against us, but there was little fancy playing and fewer artistic touches in which these past masters of the art are supposed to b. skilled. Either the Brooklyn players did not let them selves out fully or they are not yet up to their usual g-ood form. They are a jolly set of fellows, though, and took the guying direct ed against them during the game in an extremely good-humored way, vear have contributed much to its success. The' have done their work faithfully, and now the continuation of their labor passes to newer pens and wits less nmible in news-gat h ering. ' ! While their loss is much to be re ere t ted, we can no more than trudge steadily forward in the 'thorny road' which, after all most probably fails in reaching- 'fame's serene abode.' For although per haps undeserving- the editorial force is also doubtless 'damned with faint praise. ' And so with a prayer for vour tolerance and irood-will we have done with apology. - The Benefit Concert of the Musical V'':" ' Clubs. I: The benefit concert given by the Glee and Mandolin Clubs on Fri day night last towards the pur chase of the new base ball .uni forms was somewhat slimly at tended. Some forty dollars was the sum . total of the receipts. The new uni forms, which are to be decidedly the handsomest the team has yet possessed, are to cost one hundred and thirty-eight dollars. The bal ance is to be raised by subscription. So walk up, ladies and g-entlemen and true lovers of the University all, and show the spirit that dwells iti you!
