Another Defeat.

The lacrosse twelve played a brilliant game against the New York team day before yesterday. The following account of the game Monday is taken from the Globe:

One of the best lacrosse games ever seen in this neighborhood was played to-day at St. Georges, S. I., between the New York Lacrosse Club and the Harvard College team. In the first half-hour it looked like a sure thing for Harvard, but the New York men rallied in the last 15 minutes and snatched the victory. It was decided to play one solid hour. Mr. Squibb, formerly of Harvard, was chosen referee, and Mr. Page of Harvard and Mr. Hodge of New York, umpires.

At 3.18 p.m. the ball was placed. In the draw Harvard got it. New York at once began to play a brilliant attack game and eventually got it between the goals. Time, 5 minutes. At the draw Harvards got the ball again, and in a twinkling New Yorks' goal was in danger. Matthews, however, was there and saved it. The excitement became intense. Everybody was shouting. New York again got the ball. Then Brown began to play. Slowly the ball came round, and a third time New Yorks tried for a goal and a third time it didn't go through.

By this time the New York men played a little loosely and out of position. Harvard saw it. Quick as a flash her men got the ball. By a succession of good throws and clever checking they got the ball to Harding. He was ready and by a quick throw made the first goal for Harvard. Time - 15 minutes. The score was tied.

For the third time Harvard came up looking cool and confident. In less than a minute New York's goal was in danger. Harvard made a "shy" for goal, but Matthews stopped it and threw the ball into the centre. Back it came, however, and before New York realized it Harvard made her second goal on Hale's throw. Time - 1 min.

Then began a series of scrimmages with varying results. Some splendid body-checking was done by the visitors. New York threw best. The play was sharp and fast. New York was still on the defensive and again got out of position. Harding found the ball and dribbled it through. This made Harvard's third goal and the score 3 to 1. Time - 26 minutes.

It looked as if Harvard had the game. Then up rose the mighty Brown. It was do or die, and he did. In the beginning of the fifth game the ball was rushed towards Harvard's goal. It stayed there. In two minutes Brown had made the Blue's second goal. Score: Harvard, 3; New Yorks, 2.

A short rest, and play began again. New York changed the tactics again and started on the attack. Time was getting short. Brown threw for goal, but Harvard's man stopped it with his knees. Fast and furious the game was played. The ball went out of bounds. In an instant it was in, Brown got it and threw New York's third goal. Time, 6 minutes; no 'rahs; score tied.

The seventh game was called, and inside of one minute New York forced the ball down and made another goal. So the game was won. Time expired just as the eighth game began. The following were the players and their positions:
