The Freshman Eleven was defeated by Phillips Andover Academy at Andover on October 22, by a score of 11 to 0. The field was very slippery, thus preventing the Freshmen from using their end plays with effect. An- dover’s superior weight in the line gave her a decided advantage, and secured a touchdown in the first half. In the second half the Freshmen held the An- dover team until the very end of the half, when Davis made a forty-five-yard run for a touchdown. Gould, Abbott, Adams and Ferguson played the best game for the Freshmen. The line-up and summary: FRESHMEN. PosITION. ANDOVER.

The decision of the New York Court of Appeals recently in the Osborn will case, which throws out of court the appeal to set the will aside, would seem to be final. Yale’s share of the resid- uary estate, and which should soon come to her, will not fall below $100,000. TROOP A IN THE FIELD. [Continued from 45th page.]| probably worse than the average trans- port that went to Porto Rico, which is saying a good deal. A thousand horses and mules occupied every avail- able foot of space on the two upper decks and a great deal that was unfit to put any living thing in. The suffer- ing of these patient animals must have been great and it is a wonder that only one or two died. In the hold were the bunks for the 1,100 troops. These con- sisted of canvas hammocks hung in two tiers from heavy. studs 18” on centers, rows about ten feet apart. Every inch of space was used—no passage ways were left, so that, with the kits, saddles, arms, etc., all piled on the floor, and the hammocks filled with men, navigation became somewhat difficult. It does not half describe the situation to say that the vessel was entirely without convoy, that the life-boats would hold only about one-fifth of those on board, that no life-preservers were visible and that the hay on the decks caught on fire five times;—nor that the water was very warm and very dirty and very scarce, so scarce in fact that there was much suffering from thirst and some of the horses were without it for thirty hours. With all of this there was plenty of good clear water in the tanks, for when, as a grand finale of this interesting voyage, the boat ran aground in the harbor of Ponce, some two hundred tons of it were pumped overboard to lighten the ship. 3 LIFE IN PORTO RICO. Of army life in Porto Rico, and of the character of the country and natives, so much has been said in the papers, that description here is unnecessary. Troop A was encamped close to the town of Ponce and with B Troop of the second Regular Cavalry formed Gen. Miles’ body-guard. For nearly three weeks excitement ran high with the thought of approaching fighting, till the peace protocol was signed and the men wept with disappointment. It now became Hamlet with Hamlet left out. To be sure many delightful expeditions were made in _ different directions throughout the island, to Juanadias and . Coamo, Adjuntas and Utuado, but there was no spice in them, though one de- tachment had some exciting and narrow escapes at Ceales and Lares. It was most exasperating to have one’s finger fairly itching on the trigger and then to hear the order, “Recover Arms!” On September 2d we embarked for home on the “Mississippi.” The voy- age was delightful, as all conditions were greatly improved, and with better Government rations, supplemented with good things from private contributions, there was nothing to complain of. We reached New York on the morn- ing of September 10, marched from the Battery to the Armory through crowds that shouted themselves hoarse with as much enthusiasm as if we had won the baseball pennant, and then were dis- missed on a sixty-day furlough. When on the 11th of November we are mus- tered out of Uncle Sam’s service, Troop A, New York Volunteer Cavalry, will be a thing of the past. Our sick report has been large, but below the average. Lew Conner, Dick Manning and E. V. Cox, all had typhoid fever at Camp Alger and missed the Porto Rican expedition, and Amos Pin- chot, George Adee, and Billy Williams are only now out of danger from the same disease, contracted in Porto Rico. Probably no organization furnished such a large proportion of officers as Troop A, nearly 20 per cent. getting commissions. Beekman Hoppin went into the Regular Artillery as Second Lieutenant, but transferred to the In- fantry so as to get to the front. He is now in Cuba. Dunn McKee became a _ Second Lieutenant in the Signal Corps and got a staff appointment. Frank Polk was made Quartermaster with rank of Cap- tain and distinguished himself for his ability on Gen. Ernst’s staff, while Frank Harrison was made a Captain and secured a staff appointment. But Billy Williams made the biggest jump, being made Commissary with rank of Major. - ws i The annual Fall Shoot of the Inter- collegiate Shooting Association will be held under the auspices of the Prince- ton Gun Club at the Dayton Gun Club, eee Junction, on November 12th.

CHARLES F. ROCKWELL, EX-’QI S. News has recently been received of the death in March, 1897, in the island of Cuba of Charles Farnam Rockwell, ex-’gI S. Mr. Rockwell went to Cuba in Au- gust, 18096, sailing on the “Three Friends.” His family knew nothing of his plans and his departure was a com- plete surprise to them. Their first word from him was a letter which he wrote after he had landed near Bahia Honda. In this letter he said he had joined the insurgent army and was Lieutenant of Artillery, attached to a company handling a dynamite gun near Pinar del Rio. Nothing more was heard from him. Last Summer, when the wife of one of the American. naval officers went to join her husband in Cuban waters, she promised the family to look for him. On landing, she met a Cuban officer, who said that he had come to the island on the same expedi- tion with Lieut. ;Rockwell and that he was with him until he died. He said he was buried a few miles from Pinar del Rio. A slight fever, following the great hardships he had undergone, had resulted in his death. The Cuban who gave this information described Rock- well very accurately. He said that he himself was the last survivor of the party that came on the “Three Friends,” on which there had been four Ameri- cans. Mr. Rockwell was in College for about half of Freshman year. After that he was in different business posi- tions in New York and Cincinnati. He was at the time a member of the Calu- met Club. Mr. Rockwell was the son of Dr. William H. Rockwell of New York and was born in Brattleboro, in 1869. A brother, Dr. William H. Rockwell, Jr., was graduated at Yale in the Class of Eighty-Nine. yw ee Art School Exhibitions.
