YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY A PITTSBURG DINNER. The Seventh Annual Reunion—Prof. Beers Represents Yale. The seventh annual banquet of the Yale Alumni Association of Pittsburg was held Tuesday, March 30, at the University Club of Pittsburg. Mr. Al- bert H. Childs, ’61, President of the As- sociation, acted as toastmaster, and made a very entertaining address, which closed with an introduction of Professor Henry A. Beers, of Yale Col- lege, who responded to the toast, “The Faculty.”” Professor Beers made a very interesting address on matters pertain- ing to Yale, interspersed with many touches of that dry humor perculiarly his own, that has become so well known through his ‘‘Ways of Yale.” The full toast list follows: TOAStMASTEr. .cccsccccceccss A.

We all know it is better than any other college.”’ Going on, however, he admitted a possible rivalry for Harvard in the future. “The chief rivals of Harvard College are Yale and Princeton; but the su- premacy of our college is well estab- lished. Of Harvard University, how- ever, the chief rival will be Columbia. When I observe that institution’s plans and principles of expansion I foresee that in the future there will be a di- vision of university primacy between Harvard and Columbia. We shall have the prestige of age, however. A man who once woke up in my class room asked: ‘Why are the old walls of the world the best?’ and when nobody ans- wered he said: ‘If they weren’t the best they wouldn’t have lasted to be old.’ I will leave that thought with you for consideration.”’ Athletic Calendar.

About one week ago the University . Crew management sent an invitation to the University of Wisconsin to enter a race against the University and Freshmen crews in the Spring Regat- ta which will take place in New Ha- ven, either at the harbor or on Lake Saltonstall, May 29. As yet no answer has been received, but there is every reason to suppose that the Western crew will accept the invitation. Every effort is being made by the crew au- thorities this year to have an unusual- ly attractive regatta and establish it hereafter as a more prominent feature of the Spring term. The training of the Same crews has been progressing steadily on the harbor and it is hoped to have six of these entered in the re- gatta. It is probable that the greater part of a day will be occupied in run- ning off these events which are sure to make an interesting program. For the past week the University crew have been rowing in the shell in their usual order, They have not, how- ever, been able to cover any very long stretches or go over the course on time, owing to the heavy winds and rough water. Since the change to the shell the form of the crew has fallen off considerably, but this is only to be ex- pected at this season. YALE, 27 ; JOHNS HOPKINS, 0. Yale opened her base-ball season. Saturday at the Field with an easy victory from Johns Hopkins, in eight innings. The visiting team, was crip- pled by the loss of their catcher, which necessitated several changes in their make-up. The work of the home team Was very creditable indeed. Play in the infield was sharp and clean, and team work was particularly noticeable. The throwing was accurate, batting good and no bad errors were made. A. beautiful catch by Keator of Hal- lenbeck’s fly to centerfield and Green- way’s home run were the features of the game. The Yale team batted as follows: Keator and Bartlett, c.f.; Ham n, 2b.; Greenway and Chauncey, lLf.; Letton, 1b.; Fincke, 3b.; Wear and Atkins, r.f.; Reed, s. s.; DeForest and G. Hecker, c.; EF. Hecker and Wallace, p. PRINCETON DEFEATED IN RELAY RACE, The Yale Relay team defeated the Princeton team in a race held at the games of the Seventh Regiment in New York city, Saturday, April 3° The. dis- tance was one mile, and each team was composed of five men. Capt. Gerard fell in his lap, but immediately re- gained his feet with very little loss of distance. The Yale team was composed of the following: W. S. Johnson, ’99; D..C. Byers; 983... -P.-Garvan, °915-8: As. Gerard, ’97, and T. Fisher, ’988. The track team candidates have been working at the Field for about two weeks. The first trials’ for the re- duction of candidates will be held Monday, April 26. From present in- dications Yale will be very weak in the You found about what you wanted with us while you were in New Haven. We have just as good things and better now. And you can get them, wherever you are, A great many of your classmates do, We might men- tion a lot of good names, but you know who our customers were. Well, if you want a string tie or a wedding outfit, a collar but- ton, a dressing sack, a blanket wrap or a dress suit case, drop us a line.

In the middle distances the team is showing up quite well. As for the bicycle team, very little can be said definitely. The squad which con- sists of some 30 members, is work- ing constantly under Capt. “Hill who is preparing to take some 16 men down to compete’ in the _ inter-collegiate games. This is a very important event this year as it counts five points and may decide the result of the _ entire meet. The next athletic meet in which Yale is entered is in the relay race with Pennsylvania which is to be held at. Philadelphia, April 24. =~ Ninety-Four Triennial Notice. The Triennial Committee of the Class of 1894, consisting of John Howland, P. H. McMillan and Alonzo Potter, have sent out to each member of the Class a circular, asking that they be informed as soon as possible, as to whether the members will be present at the Trien- nial, stating that the Committee will be unable to make final arrangements until each member is heard from. In behalf of the Cup Committtee, they ask that a remittance of one dollar be forwarded for the Class Cup. This amount will be expected from every member of the class, whether he expects to attend the Triennial or not. ‘The as- sessment for the band and dinner will be six dollars.
