 The Yale nine plays the Atlantics to-mor- row afternoon. A good game may be ex- pected. The result may be a victory for
 Yale which will be worth seeing.
 The Loring Andrews memorial window
 has been put in. It is very fitting tribute match game of base ball between hines representing the two divisions of the senior class is being arranged. The management are trying to obtain the services of MT. Arthur Eugene Bowers for first base, but some objection is made on the score of pro- fessionalism.
 The Columbia crew is the same as that of last year, with the exception of No. G. where A. H. Vansenderle takes the place of B. s. Lynch.
 The lawn tennis tournament will be held on Saturday, May 19. It is expected that 8 large number of entries will be made before May 12.
 The work at the new athletic grounds is
 being pushed right along. The track is to
 be begun at once and will probably be fin ished in about four weeks. It has. not yet
 been decided of what tho upper layer will be
 composed. The work on the grand stand Is soon to be started. The plans for it's situa- ton have been changed, and it will command only the base ball and foot ball field. A smaller stand will probably be built from which view of the track can be obtained. It is expected that the foot ball and base ball fields will be ready for occupancy by next fall. When finished the grounds will be the finest of any in the country. The Skating Rink Prize Awards To- Night.
 There has been great interest taken in the contests for prizes among the skaters and their friends during the past week at the skating rink on Dwight street. The judges do not make known their decisions until this CTuesday) evening, when the awards will be made and prizes distributed On Monday
 were said to be Messrs Edward Hotchkiss, Irving Watkinson and I. Mcclellan. The opinion is expressed that two of these are
 rated as about equal in their accomplishments. On Tuesday evening Miss Olive Benton and
 Mrs. Ackrill were the only skaters for the first prize, gold medal, and the second prize, gold and nickel plated skates. On Wednes- day evening Mir. Card and Miss Hotchkiss made a clcse contest for the best skaters in couples and it is said public opinion is very much divided in regard to the successful win. ners of the first prize. On Thursday even ing Miss Cora Clark, Fanny Perkins, Hilda Anderson and Clara Ford skated for the handsome gold medal and no doubt each ex- poets to win.
 On Friday evening the best master skaters were Porter Clark and Henry Hotchkiss
 which of them will get first prize is not cer- tain. They certainly accomplished great credit for themselves and their instructors. On Saturday afternoon several boys and girls displayed much skill in several difficult per- formances on their skates, and called out manifestations of delight from the audience present. Bessie Baldwin took, perhaps, the most difficult fancy steps, while little Miss Lilly Sellew glided over the rink in such perfect time with the band, that she won much applause. Nettie Perkins was perhaps the boldest skater, per fectly at home, fearing no mishaps and &C., complishing feats which many old skaters would be proud of. Masters Brown, Keys and Wolcott will crowd each very near for first prize. We learn that the judges took note of each skater in detail and will be able to figure up exactly the results and after de- ducting for failures inexecution, will be able to award just decisions. Tonight is the closing festival and there will be large at tendance. Master Bigelow of Springfield, the best boy skater in the world, will be present and do his wonderful tricks on skates. The public are much indebted to Mr. Ackrill, manager of the rink, for the great pleasure he has given in the management of the rink the past season.
