John Reilly was arrested last evening about midnight for attempt to commit rape on Anna Pharioh, colored He met her on Fair street and took her into the gangway on Un- ion street, near the Fair street bridge Her 1 cries attracted the attention of Officers Iang- l ley and Davis, who arrested Reilly. 1 College Notes. l The annual meeting of the Yale University | Boat Club for the election of officers was ' held last evening. An unusually large num- | Der of undergraduates were present and l spirit of unanimity seemed to pervade the meeting, all the offices but one being filled by exclamation. In opening the meeting President Me Henry submitted a proposition of Mr. Trimble, of Harvard to furnish individual prizes to the members of the winning crew in the race next July, the prizes to be the joint contribution of both Yale and Harvard The motion met with little or no support and was unanimously voted down. The captain of the crew of next year was l elected, the present crew preferring to go through the form of election in private. This 1 is considered by many to be step backward and one not calculated to work to the advan- tage of the college, as the present system l tended in a measure to secure the election of I the man most suited for the position of cap | tain.
 The officers elected for the ensuing year are MT. R. A. Bigelow 's1, president; MT. Ed ward Bailey 'S1, S. vice president Prof. Wheeler, treasurer; MT. A. c. Hand 's2, l assistant treasurer Mr. M. H. Beach '82, l secretary.
 The gentlemen elected are without excep- l tion able and efficient men, and in every way | capable of assuming control of this the most important branch of Yales athletics. 1 This evening the annual meeting of the base ball and foot ball associations will be l held in the presidents old lecture room at I 6:45 p. m. full attendance is desired l Owing to an unfortunate mistake no game with the Albanys was played yesterday This is especially unfortunate as it greatly incon- l venienced the Albanys, and took from an al | ready depleted treasury large sum of money l which it will be difficult to replace. l The schOoIs-The Eldernge nge-Morgan School, Clinton.
