The table and room were beautifully decorated with flowers and palms, and presented a very attractive appearance. _ It was a source of great disappoint- ment that Judge Henry E. Howland of New York City was unable to be present owing to business engage- ments. There was no stated toast, but Prof. Reynolds, representing the Uni- versity, was called upon to make a few remarks, which he did to the great enjoyment of those present. Prof. Reynolds contrasted the methods of in- struction of the present day to those of twenty years ago, his remarks being listened to with great attention. Julian W. Curtiss was the next speaker and gave an interesting talk full of Yale spirit and accompanied with amusing anecdotes and stories bearing upon Yale life. It was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Lieut. Gov. Wood- ruff made a few remarks, followed by J. P. Ord of Schenectady, and Con- gressman Cochrane of Hudson.

The Executive Committee of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association met at the New Haven House in this city on March 12, to consider the reply of Cambridge University, England, to the challenge sent last Fall for an inter- national meet. The question of regis- tration in the A. A. U. was also dis- cussed, but nothing was decided upon. The letter received from Combridge follows: To Oliver Shiras: In acknowledging the challenge you sent us from the American universities, I promised that the matter should re- ceive our fullest attention, and said that we were already in communication with the Oxford University Athletic Club. The two committees have considered the various difficulties to be overcome. In some of the points they were willing to consult our convenience; others will no doubt be removed by subsequent arrangement. But there is one great difficulty which we fear makes it impossible to arrange at the present time any meet- ing between the Ameican and English universities. The status of representa- tives of this club as amateurs and as students is, and is rightly required to be beyond suspicion. But, if we are properly advised, these points are not equally clear in the case of some American universities and colleges. We gladly recognize that some of your colleges are doing their best to remove such difficulties, and your letter further assures us of your wish to render the status of your members above suspi- cion. We trust that this result may soon be attained, but for the present we feel that the most prudent course in the ‘interest of amateur athletics, both. in America and in England, is to decline your proposals under the existing con- ditions. We thank you for your letter and your invitation, and hope that at no distant date it may be possible to arrange such a meeting as you are good enough to propose. FP.) Li. CATLEr, President Cambridge University Athletic Club. A committee was appointed to draw up a letter to be sent to Cambridge, asking what they considered strict grounds for eligibility in an interna- tional contest. The letter will be con- sidered by the committee at the next meeting in New York on March 2sth, before it is sent. | A Committee composed of E. Q. McVitty, Princeton; J. D. Winsor, Jr., University of Pennsylvania, and B. H. Hayes, Harvard, was appointed to in- vestigate thoroughly the charges of Everett Brown, of the University of California, against the Eastern colleges. Final action will be taken by this Com- mittee at a future date. Oliver Shiras was appointed man- ager of the Intercollegiate athletic games and bicycle races. The time and place to be determined by him. The members of the Committee pres- ent were: I. N. Swift, Yale; B. H. ayes, Harvard; E. Q. McVitty, Princeton; J. D. Winsor, University of Pennsylvania; B. C. Barringer, N. University, and J. T. Williams, Columbia. A Look Towards Next Fall.
