The shemeld Juniors Began Their
 Course in Analytic Mechanics With Prof. Clark Yesterday.
 Brooks go has been temporarily taken on the First GIee club to fill the place of a
 regular member who will be unable to go on the Easter trip. The trip this Easter will be about the same as those taken in the past few years: From Boston by steamer to Old
 Point Comfort, where a couple of concerts will be given. On their return giving con- certs at Washington, Philadelphia and New York.
 The first and second clubs are now at stat ed intervals rehearsing together. This is quite new feature aud can't help proving beneficial. The second club, supposedly direct feeder to the first, being thus brought into relations less shadowy than formerly with the older club, may effect that state of submissive harmony 50 earnestly desired by some.
 Case go last week had his hand severely burned by accidentally spilling some boiling sulphuric acid on it while experimenting in the laboratory.
 An article in the Sunday Philadelphia Times characterized the Saturday game with the Athletics as very poor exhibition on the part of Yale and especially Hefelfnger's per formance in center field.
 The nine will play against the Jasper col 1ege team out at the Field this afternoon. It is affirmed on good authority that three
 Pinkerton detectives are on the track of those
 who recently pulled over the statue of Ben Silliman.
 The Freshman debate next Friday evening will be upon whether constitutional prohi- bition is better or not than local option.
 Forbes and Allen for the affirmative and Boltwood and Hoyt on the negative. A full attendance is desired.
 Dusslin stopped training Saturday for the junior crew. Simms, Heyworth and Rhodes have begun to train with the Sophomore crew. z,-E 1 4 particular feature of the Horoscope, this year. is, that the greater part of the paper is not devoted to advertisements. The paper is twice as large as ever before and not only reviews each mans chances for the three senior societies, but also gives the pledged members for the junior societies. It also gives brief histories of the principal branches of athletics at Yale. It comes out to-day at Dole's, and, as it is much enlarged, is very acceptable.
 ERABLE Ex.PREsIDENT. The interal illness of Rev. Dr. McCosh, ex- president of Princeton College, causes much regret among his many friends in college cir cles in this city. Dr. McCosh is ill at his home in Princeton with pneumonia, which followed an attack of bronchitis. Dr. Me Gosh left Princeton the 1st of February to visit a number of western colleges. About fifteen days ago, while at Delaware, O., he had the attack of bronchitis. He was very anxious to reach home as soon as possible, and started two weeks ago, arriving at Princeton on Tuesday, the 18th of March. He had been taken much worse while on the train, and the attack of pneumonia immedi- atolv followed hia reachinQ home. He WAS in good health when he started, and was not subject to bronchial attacks. Dr. McCosh's venerable and distinguished face and figure are quite familiar to many in this city, he having delivered the Lyman Beecher lecture
 before Yale Theological school a few years ago.
