All seats on the observation trains at New London for the boat race, which is to be rowed June 29th, at 4.30 P. M., or as soon thereafter as weather con- ditions permit, will be distributed through the Atumnit WEEKLY. There are four classes of applications as fol- lows: First. Members of reunion classes. These ‘have already been instructed as to securing seats by their class com- mittees or class secretaries. If they have been instructed to send their appli- cation directly to this office, then the application should be distinctly labelled in red letters across the face, or in some other conspicuous way, with the name of the class, as for instance, ’96 TRIEN- NIAL, or ’93 SEXENNIAL. These will then be kept together in the WEEKLY office and tickets reserved for all of the class together in the best position possible. Preference will be given to the applications of reunion classes over all others. It must be dis- tinctly understood, however, that such applications must be only for members oi the class, or members of families con- nected therewith, or others who may properly be classified with the class organization. li the committee of any class have directed the members to apply to them for seats, then said com- mittee must communicate with the WEEKLY on or before June 19th at noon, stating not only number of seats needed but names of those applying for them. The latter condition is -abso- lutely necessary for keeping the records clear. As in the case of individual ap- plicants, payment must be made by the Committee or Secretary in advance for the tickets required. Second. ALUMNI WEEKLY subscri- ‘bers. Instructions for these applicants are given in another column. Third. Yale Club members. Ar- rangements have been made by the Yale Club for securing seats for their mem- bers who do not apply through one of the two classes already named. Fourth. Other graduates. These may apply through the regular graduate application blanks. The latter can be secured from this office, or from the Yale Cooperative Store, or from the Yale Graduates Club, or from the fol- lowing places outside of New Haven: In New York, Yale and University Clubs; in Hartford, Hartford Courant office and Colonial Club; in Waterbury, office of Waterbury American; New London, Thames Club; Boston, office of J. Weston Allen, Tremont Building; Chicago, University Club; St. Louis, office of Wallace D. Simmons, Sim- mons Hardware Company. LATE APPLICATIONS. The applications will be closed Mon- day, June roth, at noon. The fact is appreciated, however, that the late date at which the arrangements at New Lon- don were perfected, betwen the differ- ent parties at interest, has made the time very short for applications for those from a distance. It is suggested, thereforé, that anyone who cannot mail his notice at such a date as to make it absolutely sure that it will be received here before the time announced, wire in advance stating that his application is on the way and the number of tickets desired. _ Other instructions and points are given on the application blanks, in which is also enclosed a diagram of the two trains showing what cars allotted to Yale. ae As is distinctly set forth in the ap- plication blanks, the ALUMNI WEEKLY assumes no obligation as to the location of the seats. Probably many desiring places on one side of the river will get the other side and those desiring the middle of the trains will often get the ‘end of it. The applications will be received in the order named above, and all the applications in any one class will be drawn by lot. There will be no special favors. As stated in the application blanks, those living at a distance from New Haven had better give some nearby point where their tickets may be sent. If desired, the ALUMNI WEEKLY will retain seats in this office to be called for. Storage will be under reasonable precautions, but at the applicant’s risk. Make checks payable to YALE ALUM- NI WEEKLY, agent. we ae See New York Game. The deciding game of the Yale- Princeton series will be played Satur- day, June 17th at the Polo Grounds, 157th st. and 8th ave., New York City at 3p. M.

As a result of the lecture on “The Profession of Forestry,” delivered be- fore the University by Mr. Gifford Pin- chot, *89, May 5, the following Yale undergraduates have been appointed by ‘Mr. Pinchot as assistant foresters for Summer work: From ’99—William C. Hodge, Jr., and John V. Doniphan, Jr.; from 1900—Charles Jones, Fred Nash and Oscar S. Pulman, Jr.; from 1901— Kinsley Twining, Jr., Thomas C. Car- son and Bernard W. Lewis; from 1902 —William P. Haines. The work will be for the Summer only in order that the men may profit by the preliminiary experience, but they are expected to take up forestry as a profession and to enter a college of forestry later. Of the men appointed, Hodge, Twining and Carson have been assigned to work with Mr. Pinchot in the State of Wash- ington; Doniphan, Jones, Lewis and Flaines will go to the Adirondacks un- der the direction of Henry S. Graves, 92, and Nash and Pulman will spend the Summer in California among the Sierras with Mr. George B. Studworth, the Dendrologist of that Division. <>, <>» 5 OP Track Team Honors.

SUBSCRIBERS’ TICKETS, An Important Additional Notice Con-= cerning Seats. BOAT RACE. | Since making the last announcement in regard to the YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY | seats for subscribers on the Observation train at New London, it has been found possible to increase the number on one application to four. Yale men having need, for their personal use, of more seats than four are requested to send in a second ALUMNI WEEKLY name on which the extra seat may be secured. It is almost always possible to secure this extra name, but should anyone find it actually impossible to do so, he may still apply here for the extra seats, and if he will give this office, as a guarantee of good faith, the names of those for whom the tickets are desired, the paper will try to find an extra name or names for his application. It is necessary to follow absolutely this rule; at the same time, it is desired to avoid placing obstacles in the way of any bona fide College party wishing to see the race. ALUMNI WEEKLY subscribers - need not ask for application blanks, or make any use of the regular graduate blanks. The AtumMnrt WEEKLY applications come directly to this office and need only include check to cover seats and registered postage. They should state in a general way what the preference is as to position. It is understood that when these applications are made, the applicants agree to the conditions given in the WrEEKLy. As said before, there is every reason to believe that reasona- ble accommodations can be offered to all, and the WEEKLY subscribers will have a very good position in the draw- ing. At the same time, it will cer- tainly be impossible to give everybody what he wants. The fact should be re- membered that neither of the observa- tion trains is more than twenty-five cars long. This makes the question as to what part of the train a man is in of much less importance than formerly. No one should duplicate his applica- tion. If one is a member of a class having a reunion this year, he will, of course, apply for the seats under the direction of his class committee, pro- vided, of course, that the committee have made arrangements for the boat race. If not, it is necessary to apply only as an ALUMNI WEEKLY. sub- scriber. Itis not possible to apply both as an ALUMNI WEEKLY subscriber and as a member of the Yale Club. If one is a WEEKLY subscriber and not going with his class, it will be simpler and bet- ter, on the whole, to send in his name directly to this office. The different sets of applications will be checked off against each other in order to avoid any duplication. If the application is a subscriber’s ap- plication, it should be so stated on the outside of the envelope. It should also be labelled on the outside as a boat race application. The general address for all applications for tickets is “Ticket De- partment, YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY, New Haven, Conn.” BALL GAME. In applying for seats for the ball game, please address the application to the “Ticket Department, YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY,” and put in the corner of the envelope, “Baseball Seats.” The number of seats on each appli- cation is raised from three to four. If a man desires any more, he is asked to send in extra name or names, accord- ing to the requirements of the case. ENGLISH MBEP ASSURED. ‘The Men who will Contest—Text ot Challenge. After some little discussion and con- ference the joint challenge of the Uni- versities of Oxford and Cambridge, under the date of May 10, for a track meet with a team from Yale and Har- vard, has been formally accepted. The meet will be held on the Queen’s Club grounds, London, Saturday afternoon, July 22. It will be one of the social events of the London season, and, in addition, should bring together all the American college men in England at that time. The American team will be governed in its selection by the rules of eligibility now in use by Yale and Harvard in their dual league. The English rules will apply in the selection of the English team. It has been decided that the American team will sail from New York Wednesday, July 5, thus giving the men just about the proper time in England to become acclimated. Both Trainers McMasters and Copland will accom- pany the teams. A training table will be started soon for the Yale men who are going, to which the following will be taken: Cap- fa Pe Pisaes, 2d, 00 S15 Ro A. Blount, 1900, and Dixon Boardman, 1902, sprinters; J. P. Adams, 1900, and W. D. Brennan, i1900S., ‘half-milers; C..-B. Spitzer, “o9, W: P. Smith, rooo, and C. K. Palmer, ’99S., distance run- ners; W. M. Fincke, 1901 S., hurdler; aid’. 2. .G. svWealel..-. |f., >. oda den jumper. These men will be given uni- forms consisting of blue serge coats with a “Y” embroidered on the pocket and flannel trousers. The Harvard athletes began active training on June 13, when a training table was formed. The British team has not yet been definitely selected, but will probably be composed of the fol- lowing: Oxford—C. R. Thomas, A. M. Heniws., ©; ££. -W. Struben, i. 5B. Arnold, A. R. G. Wilberforce, H. S. Adairs?-Gi “©:~ Vassail;*- J. D. ° Green- shields, I. D. Greenshields and H. R. Parkes. Cambridge—A. L. Hind; -C. G. Davidson, H. E. Graham, A. Hunter, H. W. Workman, W. Paget Tomlinson, L. R.. O. Bevan,: L.-O. Fo Baines; Go: W. Clark and J. A. Campbell. Exten- sive forecasts have already been pub- lished of the probable outcome of the | meet and it is conceded by all that the: result will be very close. Beyond that, however, it is impossible to go, owing to the difficulty of comparing the American and English records and the allowances that must be made for the effect of the voyage and the climate. TEXT OF THE CHALLENGE. The text of the challenge sent respec- - tively to the Presidents of the Yale and Harvard University Athletic Clubs was made public on Monday. It is as fol- lows: “ “Oxford University Club, “May 19, 1899. “Dear Sir—The committee of the Ox- ford University Athletic Club and the Cambridge University Athletic Club have requested us to forward you the following challenge for your considera- tion and to invite select representa- tives of our university club to unite with select representatives of Yale or Harvard University Club in forming a joint team to compete in track athletics against a joint team of representatives similarly selected from the athletics clubs of Oxford and Cambridge Uni- versities.
