The Chances at Mott Haven-AMOther Veteran 0ar-GiII Back i'm the Boat General Notes.
 The Rev. Dr. Van Dyke of New York city speaks at Dwight hall Sunday evening. Unless another date is made with Dr. Mer- Till there will be no more lectures in the Dwight hall course this year. Dr. Griffis' postponed lecture on s'The New Japan" will be delivered next Monday after noon.
 Dr. John Hall of New York lectures at the Divinity school March 23d and 29th.
 The Glee club concert at New London ad- vertised for last evening has been postponed.
 Gill 'S9. one of the most powerful oars on last years crew and the famous football player, has begun training with the crew. He will greatly strengthen Yales chances at New London.
 Bishop Williams will administer the rite of confirmation to several students at Trinity church next Sunday.
 The Yale and Harvard freshmen play the "fence" game in this city May 26.
 In discussing the probable winners in the Mott Haven games this year yesterdays Yale News has this to say among other things: The hundred yards dash will probably be taken again by Sherril 'S9. Rogers of Har- yard was the nearest man to him at the finish last year and he has left college. Swesny go s. may possibly obtain second place though Thibault of the University of Pennsylvania will undoubtedly make good showing in this race. The 220 yards is doubtful race. Thibault will make strong effort to win it. Robinson go took second place last year against Rogers of Harvard. The winning of this event may secure the cup for Yale.
 The 440 yards dash lies between s. G. Uo11 of H nEa of lumbia.
 The half mile is another doubtful race. Harvard has several good half mile men, but they have not shown up well hitherto at the games. Holton, T. S., Bradner '89 and liar mer go are our best men for it.
 farmer go. The second place lies between Davenport, Harvard. and Lloyd '91. Yale.
 The hurdle race has been one of our sure events for several years; this year it prom ises to be very close between Berger 'S8 s. and Mapes of Columbia. The latter has irn- proved wonderfully since last year.
 The mile walk will be won by Wright of Harvard if Lange of Columbia is abroad at the time of the games.
 Kolt, University of Pennsylvania, last years winner of the bicycle race, will enter the event this year, but may be beaten by Davis '91, of Harvard.
 The high jump will, of course, be taken by w. D. IdSe, O1 tuc Oa1FOL5A1y O1 vania, who holds the worlds record of 6 feet 4 inches. The broad jump will proba- ply be again won by Shsarman 's9, last years winner. The pole vault lies be- tween Quinn, of the University of Pennsyl- vania, and Shearman 's9. Quinn is report ed to have vaulted 10 ft. Sin. The hammer and shot events are both exceedingly doubt ful. If the rowing authorities would allow Woodruff 89 to compete in the latter event he would probably be the winner; otherwise Hunt, L. S., may win. Columbia has nearly the same tug-of-war team that she had last year, but several of the other colleges have much better teams than formerly. In the 220 yards hurdle race the first place will probably fall to Mapes of Columbia, but since the event is new one it is quite likely that some new man may win it. This is an event that there is good opportunity for some Yale man to take at least second place in and it is desired by the athletic management that more men train for their hurdle race. The contest for the cup seems to be between the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and Yale
