To MARYLAND, hospitable nursery of Lacrosse, the Ivy League teams are making a spring vacation pilgrimage, Dartmouth appeared first, as a guest of the Naval Academy, and between creditable games with the Navy and St. Johns at Annapolis, had two or three valuable practice sessions with members of the famous team of the Mt. Washington Club at Baltimore. The last days of the week were devoted to practice at Charlottesville, ending on April 9th with a decisive victory over the University of Virginia. A few of us watched the Navy game in a cold, drizzling ram, and then enjoyed the warm and bountiful hospitality of the Pickerings, who hung out their latch-string, as they did last year, for the Dartmouth team and their friends. Lacrosse teams from Yale, Harvard and Princeton, also, have been spending the week here, getting into shape for their spring campaigns.

The event of the season for the Dartmouth Club was the gathering for dinner on April Bth. It was a great pleasure to meet Prof. Herbert West, who came down from Hanover with greetings from Alma Mater, and to listen to his informal an very interesting talk on the state of the College. Six undergraduates were present' a among the guests was Headmaster Morrow of the Gilman Country School, who responded graciously to Jack Thompson's greeting.
