F. Joseph Vernon, Julian W. Curtiss
and N. H. Swayne, 2d. 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.
Upon the conclusion of the banquet
the officers were elected for the fol-
lowing year: President, Hon. William

dent, Judge Henry T. Nason of Troy;

"The members then adjourned to one
of the larger club rooms which had
been hung in Yale blue and American
flags, where the members of the Fort
Orange Club were invited to join a
“smoker,” and the entertainment fol-
lowing, which consisted of songs from
a quartette from the Yale Glee Club
and by N. H. Swayne, 2d, Walter Lap-
ham, James B. Olney and others.
Joseph Vernon contributed a number
of amusing character sketches. Julian

amusement and enjoyment of those
present. Speeches were made by Rev.
ro oratks, tion, Frank: D. Pavey;

Noah H Swayne, 2d.
In this manner a very delightful even-
ing was passed until 12.30, when a cold
supper was served to the members of
the Association and their invited
guests of the Club.

program was added greatly to by the
presence of a quintette from the Yale
Glee Club, composed of Messrs. E. G.

Strict Eligibility Grounds.
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,
