"It would be but an unresponsive American that would not thrill to such relations."--_New York Times._ D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. BY RALPH HENRY BARBOUR =The New Boy at Hilltop= Illustrated in Colors, Ornamental Cloth Cover with Inlay in Colors, 12mo, $1.50. The story of a boy's experiences at boarding school. The first chapter describes his arrival and reception by the others. The remaining chapters tell of his life on the football field, on the crew, his various scrapes and fights, school customs and school entertainments. His experiences are varied and cover nearly all the incidents of boarding school life. =Winning His "Y"= Illustrated in Colors, 12mo, Decorated Cloth Cover, $1.50. The scene of this story is Yardley Hall, the school made famous in "Double Play" and "Forward Pass!"; and we meet again the manly, self-reliant Dan Vinton, his young friend Gerald Pennimore, and many others of the "old boys" whose athletic achievements and other doings have been so entertainingly chronicled by Mr. Barbour. The new story is thus slightly connected with its predecessors, but will be fully as interesting to a boy who has not read them as if it were not. =Double Play= Illustrated in Colors, 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. Further experiences of Dan Vinton--hero of "Forward Pass!"--at Yardley Hall. He becomes in a way the mentor of the millionaire's son, Gerald Pennimore, who enters the school. There is the description of an exciting baseball game, and the stratagem by which the wily coach, Payson, puts some ginger into an overtrained squad and develops from it a winning team will appeal to every boy. =Forward Pass!= Illustrated in Colors, 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. In his new story, Mr. Barbour returns to the field of his earlier and more successful stories, such as "The Half-Back," "Captain of the Crew," etc. The main interest in "Forward Pass!" centers about the "new" football; the story is, nevertheless, one of preparatory-school life and adventures in general. The book contains several illustrations and a number of diagrams of the "new" football plays. Mr. Barbour considers this his best story. D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK BY WALTER CAMP =Jack Hall at Yale= Illustrated in Colors, 12mo, Cloth, $1.50. This is a story following, but not distinctly a sequel to, Mr. Camp's successful juvenile, "The Substitute." It is a story dealing principally with football in college, but including rowing and other sports. Mr. Camp's idea in this book is to give a little more of a picture of college life and the relations, friendships, enmities, etc., of the students rather than to tell nothing but a football story. In other words, the book is more of an attempt at the "Tom Brown at Rugby" idea than a purely athletic story, although the basis of the story, as in "The Substitute," is still athletics.
