meeting Of the Yale University Boat Club
held this evening to consider Harvards challenge to
Yale to row n single scul next summer for

There was not large attendance. and Harvard's
proposition awakened little enthusiasm After the
challenge had been read Captain Thompson. OF the
University remarked that he was opposed to its
acceptance by the boat club 1t would DC inconsst

The single scull race would be rGdo side show to

ences was one reason why fne refuses 70 row other
crews than harvard's University crew. He
had another for opposing the accept
anco Of tho challenge, which was that an
extra expense would be incurred. and the sub
a.rptions for the University crows benefit would
be intcrfered with. He then moved that Harvard .
challenge be declined. and that the secretary OF the
Harvard Club be notified that n. r. Iiyngstone would
row Goddard. of Harvard. personal race 1t was re-
marked that Goddard last year wanted TO row only
Yale scullcr who should appear ~ Yales Representa-
tive.
Captain Thompson amended his motion TO simply
decline Harvards challenge.
President Aldrch opposed accepting Harvard
challenge on tho ground that IL would set bad
precedent the effect of which would be felt for q
long time. Yale had not departed from her original
position though Harvard had, in entertaining cha
lenges from other colleges. MIR. Thompson's motion
then prevailed unanimousy, and the meeting OF the
boat club was then adjourned, and was followed by
a meeting of the University.
President Aldrich presented the invitation of the
National Amateur Rowing Association t. Yale TO enter
for prizes which association offers the race or races to

taken but Mr. Aldrich said that while tho policy Of
the boat club was opposed to this 1t might be that
classes might send sixes single scullcrs the classes
often having good material. -
On Captain Ihompson's motion II was voted that
the University has confidence in ". II. Lingstonc rs
asinge sculler and that II viii support him by its
influence and finances in training, should his per-
sona challenge TO Goddard any other Harvard
sculler be accepted.
Tho subject of the Yale freshmen challenging Har-
ward freshmen was discussed II was stated that the
freshmen hal good crew as was shown by the fall
regatta at Lake Saltonstall.

BONDS AND BANKING.

An eastern paper having taste for curl
Gus calculations" has devoted some stten-
ton to showing the possibilities of making
money without work under the national
banking law, which allows five or more In
Giyiduals TO associate themselves together
for the purpose of starting a national bank.
Suppose" says the New York Advocate
that at the C oss OF the war, ten men. each
owning farm worth 10000, should sell,
and place their currency ia bonds.
The law exempts their investments from
taxation.
"Uodsr the banking law these ten men az
'soc'ate their CAPT al and deposit their
81 600, 900 of bonds With the controllA OF
the currency SIS security, and receive char
ter for Il first ma ional bank, and with thi,
charter they receive a loan of 5000, 600 OF
bank currency at one per cant. interest
Their bonds still continue TO yield them
their regular six per cent. interest
Now, in order that they may monopoliza
the money Of the country, and that it may
not get so plenty es to reduce the rate of
'usury, they provided in the banking law
that whenever they received 800 of bank
currency from the controller at one per
cent the government should destroy $50 OF
its own legal tender greenbacks.
But with the first national bank they do
not stop.
"With the 5000, 900 of bank bills they pur
chase bonds at par, deposit these and start
second bank, receiving another loan OF
$780, 900. This is again put into bonds, an
other bank startei &, and $4,000 more of
bank currency received. The following
table shows the number of banks that may
grow out of the first one having 81, 900 90

Hence, 1t Is obvious why the banks shout
against general ntiatiun. Their pr. fits result
from Partial, individual, private Initiation,
which they eau occasion. They wish TO reIaiu
