The junior class held meeting last eve
ming to elect it's junior promenade COM
mittee.. q. B. Hoppin 81 of New York
city, chairman of the last years commit
tee, presided in the chair. A long agitated
question was raised and discussed of adj
hitting Shelf. to representation on the
committee. A motion was made that two
members from the senior class of that de-
partment be chosen to serve with seven
from the academic, the original number
Of nine to be unchanged. This number,
the chairman said, was found to be the
most practicable in managing the affair.
It was argued, on the other side, that the
promenade should remain distinctly q
junior academic affair, as it is relic of
the old time junior exhibition. They said
to be sure, Shelf. has furnished excellent
material for athletics in the past few years
and her classes have grown SO large that
they number nearly half as much as
them wait until they have had their course
heightened to four years and have arrived
at position of equal dignity with the &C.
adenaic classes before they receive repre-
sentation on the prom. committee. This
seemed to be the majority's feeling and the
original motion was lost by an overwhelm-
ing vote.
They then proceeded to the regular cleo
ton. There seemed to be less wirepulling
on the part of the societies this year and
not quite so much of everybody who was
anybody voting for number one. The re-
suit on the first ballot was as follows:
Paddock q, sehrei6er q, =. Cheney 81, J. Wood
Lord SO, Lyman 49, Knowles a5, Young %.
These were the fifteen who received the
highest votes and from this list nine were
chosen and thereby made correspondingly
happy, for the one on the junior prone
made committee has the best show in the
world for senior society. They were the
following:
McClung 100, Bayne 11e, Mutually 112, Wilson
lO7, H. Cheney So, Paddock IS, Hustled rs, HALLS.
ter 81, Floyd Jones 66.
FRESHMEN ELECT OFFICERS.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
freshman class was held in Old Chapel last
evening for the election of football off,
GERS. President Sears of the University
football association presided. The officers
elected were: Sawyer "a, president; Jones
'94, vice president; Curtis '94, treasurer;

PARKER DEFEATs ROWLAND.
There was some very pretty tennis play
ing out at the New Haven Lawn clubs
grounds yesterday in the college finals be-
tween A. J. Parker 81 and J. Rowland
| '91, the winner to play with Huntington
| in the inter collegiate tournament which is
to be held next week. The match was
taken by Parker, SO, rs, go. He has
shown wonderful Improvement in his play
ing lately and surprised all friends. He
used to fall an easy prey to his brother
who is in the sophomore, and who put up
such stiff game against Huntington last
spring, but now the tables seem to b.
turned. He will undoubtedly make
good showing in the tournament, and may
carry off the honors for Yale.
About Huntington there is the greatest
doubt felt, whether he will appear in hi
old time form from which he has beer
steadily declining for some months. II,
was out riding across country few days
ago and fell receiving injuries from which
he has not fully recovered and which ma,
interfere with his playing next week.
OUT AT THE FIELD.
There was quite a large crowd out a
the field watching the foot ball practice il
the afternoon. The playing showed som
improvement over the preceding days, blu
still there is much room for improvement
but which must be expected at this
early date in the season. Rhodes
9aptained tt the varsity 81 side ant
some brilliant plays made by Harve,
and Wallace. Wallace played right guar,
on the college team and will probably fin
ish the season on the varsity. Cox ais
did we'll as center rush and with more ex
| perience will make a valuable man In tina
position. He is brother of Cox '87, tn
well known athlete, who yet holds the col
lege record for the hammer. Like hi
brother he is big man, weighing now 10
pounds and still growing

fered somewhat from other acts of hosp
