Shattuck, C.E., is now manager of the Philadelphia Suburban Gas Co., a corporation which under his management has obtained some dozen franchises from suburbs of Philadelphia, lying southwest of the city, and is en- caged in supplying gas to these towns from a central gas plant at Darby, Penn. Mr. Shattuck has continued the experi- ment he commenced as engineer of dis- tribution at Long Branch, New Jersey, in 1896, in sending gas to distances under _ pressure, and in spite of the. adverse opinion of gas experts has demonstrated that illuminating gas can be transmitted under pressure as high as forty pounds to the square inch without injuriously affecting the candle power. This dis- covery, with the methods involved by Mr. Shattuck, opens a large field for supplying small towns from distant cen- ters, where previously the lack of great numbers of consumers would not war- rant the laying of the required large main supply pipe; for a pipe of given size will now supply very many more users than ever before with the low pressures of one or two ounces in vogue. ’92—Harry Graves has been put in charge of the new Forestry School at Yale. ne ‘92—Frank T.

There will be a Ninety-Five dinner at the Yale Club, Saturday, March 17, at 7.00. Every Ninety-Five man in New York or its vicinity, whether a mem- ber of the Yale Club or not, is cor- dially invited to be present.

Ninety-Seven Dinner. The second annual dinner of Ninety- Seven men living in and around New York City will be given at the Yale Club, 17 East 26th Street, on Saturday evening, March 31, 1900, at 7 o’clock. It is perhaps, unnecessary to say that all members of the Class are invited to attend, whether or not they have as yet joined the Club. The dinner has been fixed for Saturday evening, as be- ing most convenient for the majority of men living in the city, and also in the hope that a large number from out of town will be able to be present. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining a list of addresses corrected to date, it is possible that some members of the Class may fail to receive a copy of this notice. The committee therefore requests every- one who does receive this announce- ment to do his best personally to see that the news reaches every Ninety- Seven man living within reach of New York. The cost of the dinner will be, as last year, two dollars ($2) per cover. In order to facilitate the work of the Com- mittee, members of the Class are urged to reply promptly, remitting $2 in case they expect to attend the dinner. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the order of “The Yale Club.” Those who may for any reason be unable to come to the dinner are asked to acknowledge the receipt of this notice, in order that the Commit- tee may be sure that none of its an- nouncements have been lost in the mail. In replying, members of the Class are asked to give their present addresses in full, for the convenience of the Com- mittee or of others desiring to call Class meetings in the future.

ORANGE DINNER, It was the Largest Yale Gathering Ever Held in New Jersey. The seventeenth annual dinner of the Yale Alumni Association of Essex County, New Jersey, was held in Upper Music Hall, Orange, Thursday even- ing, March 1, and was the largest Yale gathering ever held in the State. The room presented a beautiful ap- pearance. Along the freize were ros- ettes formed of American flags. From the flags to the center of the room ex- tended long blue streamers which were there held in place by a large Japanese umbrella. The wall opposite the en- trance was almost hidden by a mass of Yale flags. At seven those present assembled in the hall of the New England Society. Then each man placed his hands on the shoulders of the man in front of him, and all marched to the dinner singing “Omega, Lambda, Chi.” [Continued on page 240.] THE GUARANTEE ON a RADE Ae MARK CLUETT, PEABODY & C2 SHIRTS 1s not all that makes them good —it’s the material in them— the way they fit—the amount of value you get for ONE DOLLAR At Your Furnisher or Clothier CLUETT, PEABODY & CO. Makers Universal Athletics. That is the goal and—it is pleasant to say—the present tendency of the changes in athletic policy in ihe. great universities. Over four hundred men were on the water at one time last season at Har- vard. To-day the streets of New Haven are fairly alive with athletes on their runs. It’s fine. One of the incidental results of Uni- versal Athletics is to more thor- oughly acquaint every university and college man with the name A.C. SPALDIN & Bros. CHICAGO. DENVER. NEw YORK.
