UNION SQUARE
NEW YORK
A Magnificent Home.
The University Club of New York
will probably move into its new house
corner of Fifty-fourth street and Fifth
avenue some time about the last of next
March. The building which is being
rapidly pushed to completion will cost
when finished in the neighborhood of
$600,000. Its site was acquired at some-
thing over $800,000.The general style
of the structure, which is divided into
three main stories, each story being
sub-divided, will be Italian Renaissance,
and the exterior will be build of pink
Milford granite. On the main floor are
the lounging room, offices and great
hall, while the second floor contains the
library, writing rooms, pipe rooms and
bachelor apartments. On the third
floor the great dining room, council,
room and kitchens are situated. Above
all is a roof-garden. In the basement
is located a swimming pool and Turk-
ish bath, bowling alleys and bicycle
storeroom. In a word, the building
from top to bottom will be as complete
and handsome a house as money and
modern ingenuity can make it. The
medallions of the colleges, which are
reproduced on the walls of the library
and reading rooms, are used as the
starting point for appropriate designs in
clay modelling, the whole producing a
picturesque and artistic effect.

The Yale Banner.
The Yale Banner was put on sale to-
day. It is bound in light green buck-
ram, with an original design in blue
and gold. The paper is heavier, and the
press work of a better quality than for
some years. The frontispiece is an
excellent reproduction of a photograph
of the Cruiser “Yale,” made especially
for the Banner. The headings of the
different departments are by D. D.
Burrell, ’98, and are seven in number,
representing the College, the Sheffield
Scientific School, and the Graduate
Schools of the University. Among the
new full page half-tones are two views
of the Campus, the Zeta Psi house, the
Colony, this year’s Glee, Banjo and
Mandolin Clubs, the Golf Team, the
Financial Union, and the University
Football Team and Squad. The small
cuts in the Banner are entirely new.
These are also full page cuts of the De-
bating Team, the winners of the Prince-
ton debate the customary groups of
the Editorial Boards of the University
publications and of all the University
and Freshman athletic teams. The
usual space is devoted to societies, eat-
ing clubs, miscellaneous organizations,
and the directory.

Dining the Harvard Eleven.
Harvard’s great Football Eleven of
18908 is still being dined by enthusiastic
graduates. On Saturday, Dec. 3d, the
Athletic Association of Harvard Grad-
uates tendered the team a banquet at
the American House in Boston, at
which 400 guests were present, among
them being Governor Wolcott -of
Massachusetts, Governor-elect Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Professor Hollis,
Chairman of the Harvard Athletic
Committee. J. H. Sars, ’89, acted as
toastmaster. Both Governor Wolcott
and Colonel Roosevelt dwelt on the
fact that it was “a great year for Har-
vard,” and that the team deserved
especial credit for winning from oppo-
nents, as Governor Wolcott put it—“re-
inforced with the prestige of continued
victory.” Colonel Roosevelt spoke of
the notable work college men had done
in the war and laid stress on the great
assistance John G. Greenway, ’955S.,
had been to ‘him in the Cuban cam-
paign. During the course of the dinner
congratulatory telegrams were received
from all parts of the country.
A week after the Boston dinner or on
Dec. 10th the Eleven were the guests of
honor at a dinner given at Delmonico’s
by the Harvard Club of New York.
Over 700 guests were present and the
affair was an entire success. The house
was beautifully decorated with Harvard
flags and colors.

Yale Gymnasts.
On Wednesday evening, December
7th, the Yale Gymnastic Association
- held its twelth annual contest in the
University Gymnasium. The galleries
were comfortably filled and the contests,
supplemented by a well rendered musi-
cal program, proved very interesting.
The exhibition was fully up to the
standard of those held in previous years,
with the exceptions of the boxing con-
test and back tumbling, of which there
was little. The other contests were
good and showed that the talent in Col-
lege in this line of work is of.a high
order. The University “Y” will be
given to that member of the Gymnas-
tic team who received the highest total
of points scored in this contest and in
the ‘one held later in the year.
The judges of the exhibition were Mr.
John E. Heaton, Mr. Robert Horn and
Mr. Ernest Weincle. The eight con-
testants who took part in the exhibi-
tion were: R. G. Clapp, ’99S., who is
Captain of the team, E. L. Eliason,
1901; W.-L. Otis, 1900; G. H. Whip-
ple;., 1600; B=. Wilsotl. 196%: 3 T1a.P.
Shaw, toor; A. H. Terry, P. G., and L.
H. Schutte, ’o9.
The competitive contests resulted as
follows:
1. Horizontal Bars—First, Clapp, 26;
second, Eliason, 21; third, Whipple, 2o.
2. Long Horse—First, Eliason, 23;
second, Terry, 2234; third, Wipple, 22,
fourth, Clapp, 2134; fifth, Shaw, 20%.
3. Parallel Bars—First, Eliason, 26;
second, Clapp, 2434; third, Whipple,
2134; fourth, Terry, 20. :
4. Rope Climbing—First, Clapp, 104%
seconds; second, Wilson, 11 seconds;
third, Eliason, 12 seconds.

7014; Whipple, 63%; Terry, 40%, Shaw,
20¥4. |
The middleweight wrestling contest
between Taylor, 1900S., and Ireland,
1900 S., resulted in a draw, as did also
the lightweight match between Wilson,
1901, and Palmer, root.
R. G. Clapp closed the evening with
a fine exhibition of pole vaulting.
