of denmark had just lost his father and his mother had married his father's brother ham let suspected foul play which sus picion was strengthened by a meet ing he had with his father's ghost who told him that lie had been poisoned by his brother hamlet lived for nothing then but revenge and he perfected his scheme by feigning madness he was in love with ophelia which was also re turned by her and he determined to give her up and the next time he saw her treated her with great rudeness and drove her away he slays pollonius who had been sent to spy on a conversation between himself and his mother and who was the father of laertes his friend and ophelia his love he at last hits upon the strategem of engaging a band of strolling players who were then in the county to perform a play before the royal court in which there is a crime perpetrated similar to that which was done against his father by this means he intends to find out whether the story the ghost told him is true the play has the desired effect and now being convinced of his uncle's guilt he determines to destroy him hamlet's feigned madness become real insanity and the interest of the plot is terribly enhanced by the madness of ophelia who is heart broken on account of the murder of her father and the cruelty of her lover news is finally brought that ophelia has been drowned and then comes the very powerful burial . scene in which laertes and hamlet struggle in the grave of the dead girl then the wicked king deter mines to get hamlet out of the way by a duel between himself and laertes he poisions the end of the sword of laertes but during the fight the weapons are changed and they both have been wounded by the poisonous sword then hamlet although feeling death ap proaching turns upon the guilty pair and makes them drink their own poison so the play ends with a very holocaust of victims the doctor recited with fine effect many passages in illustration of the various parts of the play he es pecially commended to the students the advice of pollonius to laertes as the most striking illustration of duty and honor to be found in any of shakespeare's plays he also said that the famous soliloquy was in every way significant of shakes peare's greatest power in closing he said he considered as an excel lent augury of our civilization the appreciation of so enlightened and cultured an audience and that if in any way his own efforts had met with their approval he presented them with his most grateful thanks michigan has fifty of its grad uates among the faculty hamlet the last of dr coppee's shakes peare lectures was listened to last tuesday by the customary large and enthusiastic audience the lecture itself was of the greatest interest and was delivered in the doctor's usual eloquent style he said in starting that although numerous attempts had been made to prove the story authentic there was very little history in the play the legend also could not be de pended on and the house exhibited at elsinore where hamlet lived and the heap of stones called his grave are creatures of the merest fancy he carefully analyzed the play and showed its marvellous plot which runs as follows : ham the

around the fielding of both teams was very ragged princeton's being but little better than lehigh's the feature of lehigh's game was the batting of thompson he making three hits one of which was a three-bagger mcclung caught a good game making several difficult stops of wild pitches fisher played his first game on the team as short stop and although he made several errors and was a little slow at times his game prom ised a good player in the future the princeton team batted well to a man and williams ex-lehigh 96 made a three-bagger their coaching was very poor and their base running was managed in such a manner as to greatly lower their score score — lshigh princeton innings earned runs lehigh 2 princeton 1 two base hits peck 1 bray 1 ; three-base hits tompson 1 trenchard 1 williams
