Whittlesey ~ will not probably return to
college.
Dartmouth is exerting efforts to a forma-
ton of new athletic league which will ex-
clude Harvard and Yale.
A preliminary trial of the new ''Yale Uni
versity orchestra" was held last night. The
ing.
All having Rotations yesterday afternoon
were given ''cuts" by their respective officers
that they might attend the class races.
At the faculty meeting this morning the
question of changing the hours of general
recreation will probably be decided upon.
The present arrangement is a subject of uni
versal fault-fnding.
| A card catalogue will be substituted in the
Linonia and Brothers library in few days
to take the place of the book system now in
use. The work is the result of the efforts of
the librarian, Mr.. Smith. The cards instead
of being grouped according to author and
subject as in the main library are arranged
in alphabetical order, each card representing
a book. About four thousand volumes have
been added to the main library since the last
commencement and nearly four hundred
to the Linonia and Brothers.
YALE CLASS RACES.
A Large and Enthusiastic Audience at
SaItonstall - The Single Scull Wen
Easily by Fisher-'9O Struggles With
$50 $50 Vanqu1shes 'SS.
Lake Saltonstall declared its growing pop
ularity yesterday by attracting to its wild
and romantic banks over six hundred persons
to witness Yale's annual fall races. Ever
since the change from the harbor to the lake
the attendance has grown in numbers and
yesterday proved no exception. The weather
was all that could be desired, and though it
was chilling to those standing, yet it was
very bracing to the oarsmen. The ominous
gathering of the clouds overhead did not
dampen the ardor of the crowd and each
crew as they crossed the finish received its
customary vollsy of cheers.
The first race of the day was the single
scull race-one and a half miles with turn,
in which five men were entered. This was
for what is known as the Cleveland cup"-
the conditions of which are that it must be
won three times in succession to entitle own
ership. Last spring it was won by Apple
ton, 49, Yesterday Fisher, '8S, succeeded
easily in getting first place and as he has
proved himself good oarsman he may carry
the cup away from college with him. The
following men were entered in the race: l.
G. Copley 1877, j. Fisher 'SS, j. G. Ewing ~,
E. V. Hinckley 'S9, II. w. Vernon '89. Fish
er led all the way with neat and powerful
stroke and crossed the line looking perfectly
fresh Vernon obtained second place easily,
while Hinckley and Ewing fought hard for
third. The positions and times of the men
were as follows:
Fisher 12m 54s, Vernon lam, Hinckley
lem, Ewing 16m los. Copley did not finish.
The next race was that between '89 S. and
80 and was the most interesting of the day.
Both crews pulled in excellent form and
kept we'll together until near the finish when
80 spurted and crossed the finish ahead. The
crew of '99 contains excellent material and
with proper training ought to make good
showing at New London next June. The
course was one mile. Time go, 6-19; 80 S.,
$40. The crews were as follows:
