BOAT RACE SEATS.
How the Graduates Will Be Cared
For—Applications Due June 19th.
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.

Summer Forestry Work.
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.

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.
