The New York, Pennsylvania and

and have made application TO that effect.
Harvard University has adopted rosolu.
tons TO engage in nthlo tic contests only
in New England. This means practi-
cally that the dual league with Yale will
so into effect, for il is highly improbable
that colleges outside OF New England
which may desire to enter into competi.
tions with Harvard will npreo to- have all
those competitions take place thcrc.
This move on llnrvard's pHrt cannot
but result in the deterioration in athletics
of both Universities. Neither Harvard
nor Yale will work M hard to beat each

SOUTH CAPITOL BRIDGE.
The Association Meets and Outlines Its
Plans and Hopes.

The South Capitol Street Bridge Association
held an animated meeting at the association
headquarters in the National Hotel at 80 this
afternoon.
Judge H. H. Blackburn stated that Mr.. SAT-
ford had prepared map of the Eastern branch
which shows that by Strengthening the channel
from its mouth to the navy yard 30
acres would be reclaimed, and that the
arsenal grounds and navy yard, with
about so acres lying between them. would make
the best possible site for a geological garden at
small expense to the government. Such gar
den would, he said. easily contain all a
the thousand animals proposed to be exhibited
here, while the branch would afford the neces-
sary water OF a temperature and quality adapted
to their wants.
Mr.. A. Motif exhibited map of the branch
made by himself some time ago showing that
by Strengthening the channel $50 acres along
its banks could be used for artificial lakes
MIR. A. K. Browne, president of the associa-
ton, called Judge Pelham to the chair and adj
dressed the meeting at considerable length,
pointing out the plans and foresight of the
father OF his country in locating
the capital here, and dwelling
upon the advantages of boule-
ward to Fort Washington. 1t no real es-
tate syndicate that was pushing the enterprise.
he said, but merely citizens asking for their
equal and just rights and exhibiting their COM
mon interest in improving and identifying the
national capital.
Mr.. Chas. Pelham spoke Of the necessity of
cooperating with the South and Southeast
Washington citizens associations and the need
OF giving our lawmakers AN opportunity to
drive out to the proposed site, where they will
at once be impressed with the fairness and
necessity of the undertaking He also in
dorsed the proposition to place the 200" on
the branch.
He said that the incraasa in taxat;or hv an,
hancement of property would soon repay all
the bridge viii cost as it is shown by
the enhancement out on the Pennsylvania
avenue extension. He thought charter
should be secured at once from the Maryland
legislature for a dummy railroad from Fort
Washington to the District line and then per-
mission asked to extend it to the site of the
proposed bridge.
The feeling was generally expressed that
Congress will do something at this session.
