At the annual banquet of the mem- bers of the University Track Team held at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, on the evening of Saturday, May 27, the day on which the Intercollegiate Track Meet was held, Bascom Johnson, 1900, of Washington, D. C., was elected Captain for next year. Mr. Johnson prepared for Yale at Worcester Academy, Worcester, Mass., where he was Captain of the track team and champion pole-vaulter. He became BASCOM JOHNSON, 1900. a member of the Yale Track Team in his Freshman year, when he won first place in pole-vault in the Yale-Harvard Dual games, and established a new record in the same event at the Inter- collegiate Track Meet. : Last year he again won first place in the pole-vault at the Dual Meet, and tied for first place at the Intercollegiate Games. This year he secured two second places, being defeated in each instance by R. G. Clapp, Yale ’99 S. Last Fall Mr. Johnson was awarded the Heaton Testimonial for the best all around athlete at Yale. He was a member of his Junior Prom Commit- tee, one of the Ten Eyck Speakers, and received a Second Dispute in the Junior Appointments. <> - Association Record.

C., shooting a Parker Gun at Elkwood Park, in eight days’ shooting from April 8th (including the Grand American Handicap), killed 501 live birds out of 567 shot at, and also made a run of 141 straight. - On April 28th he won the Maryland Handi- cap, killing 25 straight. That the “Old Reliable’’ is extremely pop- ular is strongly attested by the fact that of the 263 contestants in the Grand American Handi- cap of 1899, 77 were using “ Parker’s.”’ Facts such as these prove the “ Parker’’ to be the most popular shotgun in America. There are more Parker Guns in the hands of Amateurs than any other make of gun in the world. PARKER BROTHERS, Makers, Meriden, Conn. Send for Catalogue. New York Salesroom, No. 96 Chambers St. .
