YALE ALUMNI WHEEKLY NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES. HARVARD. This year’s Hasty Pudding play has been as much of a success as any of its predecessors. “The Flying Dutchman”’ is more of a burlesque than the pro- duction last year and contains more local hits. All the parts are well tak- en, Schurz, Woodruff, Stone and Rust being especially good. Among. the specialties introduced im the third act is an exceedingly clever burlesque on “Secret Service’ by H. Woodruff, ’98, and H. Schurz, ’97. It is reported that Graub, the star mile-runner will not compete in the Harvard-University of Pennsylvania dual games on May 9. Harvard’s new shell from Webb has just arrived at Cambridge. The boat is 64 feet long, 22 inches wide, 10 or 141-2 inches deep, the last measure- ment being from the top of the wash- streak. It weighs 236 pounds and is one foot longer than last year’s boat. The shell is built of American cedar and is very strong and substantial, having been built to suit a crew aver- aging 176 pounds. Instead of the or- dinary leathers, shoes are to be bolted on the footboards. It is expected that this will give the men a firmer hold, and will prevent blistering of the feet.

SAMWL BUCKLEY & CO. 66 Maiden Lane, New York, SOLE AGENT® BHOSET=NY WHAT IS a ODE INHALER ? X-ODE is a product of electricity. It forms on asbestos while being electrically treated in a solution. This asbestos is Pe up in a glass vial. When the cork of the vial is removed and the air comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from the inhaler a soothing gaseous substance, which will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode penetrates parts that it would be impossible for drugs or medicines to do. Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head- ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, ete., yield to {ts influ- ence with marvelous rapidity. This inhaler lasts from one to three years, Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler, $1.00, All druggists or by ; The X-ODE CO., 19 Union Square, New York City.
