YALE ALUMNI NOTES.
Please report concerning yourself,
facts which should be recorded in this
column. Make report, also, about Yale
men you know, and on matters, proper
for record here, concerning which you
have definite record. This will make
the page of the greatest possible
value. On request the Alumni Weekly
will be glad to send postals to those
who are in the way of getting, more or
less often, Yale news and Yale per-
sonals..

tion.” :
’91—Dr. E. W. Danner has resigned
his position as Surgeon for the C. B.
& Q. Railroad at Burlington, Iowa, to
engage in the practice of medicine at
141 West 74th St., New York City.
791 S.—John D. 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.

Ninety-Five Reunion.
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. Two dol-
lars, which will cover all, may be sent
to me, or paid in person the evening of
the 17th to a member of the Reunion
Committee. Please inform me at your
earliest convenience, whether or not we
may count upon your presence. Show
up and make the affair a “go!”

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.

Changed Notice of Ninety-Nine
Dinner.

urday, March 24. Do not miss the op-
portunity to attend the first large gather-
ing of Ninety-Nine men since gradua-
tion. The syndicate composing the com-
mittee begs to announce that S. M.
Hawley, 17 East 26th Street, New
York, is authorized to sell shares
in the game at two dollars per. An
early reply is requested. Every Ninety-
Nine man is invited. Personal notice
will be sent only to those living in and

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.”

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
