The Senior " lita" thought to bat a victory out of the Senior laws on Saturday in a little game of ball, but they failed by one tally. The score stood at the close, twelve to eleven; On Monday night, Wm. Pitt Durfee, of the Senior class, was elected a Chronicle editor, to fill the vacancy created by the reaignation of W. S. Walker. Mr. Durfee is a resident of Plymouth. Chas. A. Blair resigned hia position as Chronicle editor on Monday, because the society which he represeuted, the Delta Phi, no longer existed.

Regent Gilbert took a survey of the University grouud8 by moonlight on Wednesday evening, and was engaged in making another survey yesterday. He will be prepared to act intelligently at the Regents' meeting this evening. A little more personal and careful observation would not disqualify other Regenta. The Freshman p.Iass contains 115 members, five more than last year. Nine applicants failed to pass their examinations and ten withdrew in time to avoid rejection. Not less than 25 per cent. of the applicants have been rejected heretofore, but this year less than twelve per cent. have suffered this afilictiou. Better preparation is the cause.
