The Trot on the Boulevard.

Cold Day but much Imterest--The Com
 test Between the Horses of two we'll { known Business Men.
 Many gentlemen of this city and some from out of town drove out to the Boule. yard yesterday to witness the friendly con test arranged, for &1oo purse between the fine Vermont black gelding Frank" of MT. l John I. Goodrich, the coal merchant, and | MT. J. Broschart's bay mare '' Belle of Put | ney." It being at first supposed that the severe stinging cold would keep back many who were interested in the fine qualities of these we'll known trotters, it was thought at noon advisable to postpone the race for less uncompromising cold weather, but the owners learning that almost everybody had gone out, or was going to the Boulevard, not to disap- point them, the trot was ordered to proceed. The Boulevard at three was well alive with fast trotters and gay sleighs. Had it been endurable weather no doubt the scene would have been diversified with the presence of many ladies' the sleighing being quite fine. As it was, the lords of creation mainly made up the assemblage Of "lookers on in Den mark there was quite gathering also at the lower end of the Boulevard. where also many
 
 dashes up and down the long Boulevard
 stretch. The contesting horses made their
 appearance promptly at the time and all
 rumors of postponement were at once dis
 pelled, and all eyes were eager to catch
 sight of the two fine animals. Two
 heats were trotted, both resulting in
 the success of the fine little mare of MT.
 Broschart The heats were mile heats best in g.. The first part of each heat was we'll contested, but in each in the latter part of the mile, it being evident that the mare had
 mortgage on the race, Mir. Whitney, driver of Mir. Goodrich's horse, held back and the Belle trotted in easily the remainder of the distance. While the result was so clear victory for the Belle and very satisfactory to her many packers, the highly meritorious qualities of the Vermonter are evident to all, and the many admirers of this fine piece of horsehesh are sanguius that his best work was far from being done yesterday, from the fact that the animal was not in action and effort up to his usual standard. Both gen. tlemen kindly consented to favor the public in giving the exhibition, and had it not been so cold the scene on the Boulevard would doubtless have been unsurpassed this season, and of spirited horses and fine teams, as it was, there was fine display
 A Wedding.
 The residence of MT. Wm. Bradbury, No. 22 Hamilton street, was a scene of joy and l happiness last evening, and many friends were assembled, the occasion being the mar

 The only amendment likely to cause a dis | cussion is that proposed for section l of ar ticle iv., which reads as follows: '"The regu-
 lar annual meeting of the club for the cleo ton of officers shall be held on the first Wednesday after the commencement of the fall academic term" The committee pro- pose to change the time for the election of officers from the first Wednesday of the fall term to the second week after the spring re- cess Thus the officers will be chosen be-
