mission in another week, and Commodore Jefferson
Hogan, of the Atlantic Yacht Club, says that the
LIST of Mar will see the Bay fairly dotted with
yachts Preparation for big season is going on
all along the athletic line, and at the same time
comprehensive plans are being framed enlarging
several organizations. On April the Atlantics
will have an important meeting. at which dehnite
action may be taken on the question Of absorbing
the Alcyone Boat Club. The Crescents will also
have an important meeting before long. at which
the details of their consolidation with the Nereids
may be settled. Both schemes seem likely TO sue
ceed
We are hard at work." said a prominent
Crescent man yesterday, putting our ideas into
shape. Won't we have an association II we sue
coed ? We started as q football organization pure
and simple but we shall have outgrown any
athletic organization around here If we get our
grounds and our house. Just think now OF our
record. Our football team won the championship
four years in succession. and we thnk that We
can win next year, too. We have good baseball
team, and now we talk Of putting four or an
eight oar crew on the water. There arc some old
Yale oarsmen in our club. and we could certainly
maintain a triple organization No, we don't
want any track athletics; we don't want to take
up too much'
