that year he removed to Cincinnati,
Ohio, where he engaged in the practice
of his profession until 1845. Since that
time Dr. Atwater has not been engaged
in practice. After leaving Cincinnati in
1861, he lived a short time in Brook-
line, Mass., and the following year re-
moved to New Haven, Conn., where he
resided for about eight years, and then
went to Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

sidered the best amateur hurdler in the
country. .He has a firm hold on every

Yale Freshmen Victorious.
The Yale Freshman baseball team de-
feated the Harvard Freshman nine in
Cambridge Monday, May 31, by a score
of 9 to 5. The features of the game
were the all around playing of Sulli-
van, Norton and Bronson, and the bat-
ting of Russell and Ferguson. This vic-
tory leaves the championship between
the two teams in dobut, as it will be
impossible to arrange the third and de-
ciding game of the series. The batting
order of the Yale team was as follows:
Eddy, 1.f.; Norton, 2b.; Ferguson, r.f.;
Bronson, s.s.; Russell, 1b.; Sullivan, c.;
Crawford, 38b.; Whittlesey, p.; Lyon,
e.f. A number of Yale graduates who
are now in the Harvard Law School
came onto the field with the substi-
tutes, and by their cheering encour-
aged the men greatly.
The score by innings is as follows:
