              saturday's baseball game was close and interesting throughout it was one of those games which are won by the last man at the bat and in which the spectators delight both teams could and did hit the ball frequently but never for more than two bases and as the list of errors indicates the game possessed the charm of uncertainty to an unusual degree it was almost an ideal day but the atten dance was small for lehigh carman led the bat ting with three singles and one two-base hit to his credit for trinity the hits were rather evenly divided but glazebrook won the day with a two bagger in the last half of the ninth inning which let in two runs - following is the score : lehigh trinity scoee by innings lehigh 3 1 0 1 0 0 2 0 2—9 trinity 1 0 0 0 2 13 0 3—lo earned runs lehigh 4

harvard debate at a recent meeting of the yale corporation the sum of one hundred thousand dollars was appropriated to cover the expenses of erecting a new dormitory mr leavitt's lecture the fourth of a series of lectures arranged by the faculty was de livered by mr e i leavitt con sulting engineer of the calumet & ilecla mining company the subject of the lecture was a modern mining plant twenty years ago the calumet & hecla mining company began to install a new plant designed to be more economical and at the same time to increase the product the mines are at calumet mich and consist of a lode two and one quarter miles long containing 3.6 per cent native copper which occurs in small particles ranging from the size of a grain of sand to that of a pea shafts have been sunk at intervals along this lode and one of them called the " eed jacket is thought to be the largest in the world the product as it comes from the mines is dumped into cars run by an endless chain and sent to the rock houses to be crushed alter passing through the blake crushers it is removed to the stamp mills 4j miles distant these mills contain seven heads or stamps besides a complete equip ment of dressing machinery in 1874 special types of pumps were constructed and as the im provements created a demand for more water a pump which raised 10,000 gallons per minute fifty feet was built during its con struction new boilers especially adapted for burning wood were put in they are of the form of a locomotive boiler with the swallow tail fire-box and are so built as to permit easy inspection wire rope transmission was used in the mines in 1880 and was after wards applied in the stamp-mills in 1882 a 4700 horse-power engine was built and new hoisting machinery put in the drums used are 20 feet in diameter and wind 4000 feet of 1j inch rope the loads raised were increased from 1j to 5 tons this method has proved very satisfactory in single shafts the blasting prior to 1874 was done with black powder now it is done with dynamite two men firing all the blasts made by means of electric fuses at present 150 hand drills are used in preparing for blasts a new compressor having an efficiency as high as 96 per cent and i faster speed than the old ones was constructed in 1884 and at present six more are being built eight triple expansion en gines are used at the stamp mills the method of hoisting is similar to that of the ashley planes near wilkes-barre the lecture was interesting from a mining as well as from a mechanical point of view and the speaker showed great familiarity with the details of the plant lacrosse lehigh 3 ; crescent 3 the afternoon was clear and cool and but for the ground being a little damp and slippery from the rain of the night before the conditions were perfect for a la crosse game the attendance was good considering that a baseball game was in progress at that time at the eittersville grounds dur ing the early part of the game the ball was continually in crescent's territory our attack men playing a splendid team game which the crescent defense seemed quite un able to break up shots were made at the crescent goal in rapid succession later on in the first half lehigh's attack weakened somewhat and the crescent defense seemed to recognize the fact that they must be astir if they wished to score along with this came an increased vigor in the playing with the ball more at lehigh's end of the field until in the latter part of the second half the playing was furious the game from beginning to end and especially in the first part was a very pretty exhibition of lacrosse the crescents although not doing so much team work as lehigh played a strong game ; using much the same style of play with the exception of the way in which they shot goals they ap parently tried to get the ball close in front of the goal and then knock it through in the scrimmage as lehigh did last year the ball was faced off for the first half at 4 14 o'clock with le high defending the east goal it was very prettily passed down into crescent territory and a number of shots were made ; the lehigh attack by splendid passing and dodging keeping the ball around the crescent's goal continually this lasted for about five minutes when baldwin getting the ball made a quick pass to merriman who ran in a little and shot an easy goal score : lehigh 1 ; crescents 0 play was resumed shortly and the same performance repeated with everything our own way once the ball went down the field and a poor shot was made at our goal it was soon returned and after a trial by koundey merriman passed the ball to baldwin who from almost di rectly in front of the posts threw a pretty ground goal time 9 minutes score lehigh 2 ; cres cents 0 the ball now advanced towards lehigh's goal but miller secured it in a scrimmage and by a long throw placed the goal out of danger the playing now became very general for some time the ball going rap idly up and down the field and finally getting very near the ores cents goal here the playing was continued on second page princeton is going to have a new library building which will cost between 300,000 and 400 000 the
