 The twenty-sixth volume of the annual Yale Potpourri was issued yesterday, and the COURIER joins the Register in pro- nouncing it by all odds the finest publica- ton ever issued by the students of Yale. Its editors are G. B. Hoppin and H. W. Cushing of '91, and certainly deserve to be congratulated on their ability. They have brought it out somewhat later this year, it being usual to publish it at the time of the junior promenade. This is rather an i'm provement as it sets i. farther apart from the Banner, which appears usually before Christmas, and enables it to sum up the notabilia of the past year. The volume is printed on the finest of paper and illustrated thick ly with full page electrotypes from photo
 
 terior of the old library and of the memor- ial window in the pew library. Full page cuts of the prominent college society houses also appear opposite the list of members One of the best points of the engravings is that they are accurate, which of course is prime requisite in photographs of the athletic teams, glee and banjo clubs and so on, and which former cuts of these have been sadly de- ficient & The athletic department is intro duced by chubby young atlas upholding at arms length the athletic world. The covers are of buff and green cloth, and no one looking within them can hesitate to pronounce the book as complete as book of its kind could be made. It is for sale at Judd's, Peck's and the college co opera tive store at the very moderate prices of $1.5O.
 The real facts underlying the vague rumors which have been heralded in the papers concerning the revival of negotia- tions with Harvard seem to be as follows: Harvard is now arranging with Princeton for game next Saturday at Springfield, or possibly at Hartford or New Haven. This will probably lead to 8 series of ball games between Yale and Harvard to be played in New Haven and Cambridge at the com mencements of the respective colleges. The only thing that the Yale management has been waiting for is the arrangement of at least one game between Harvard and Princeton. It is Harvard, therefore, that ''crawls," not Yale.
 Klimpke, the substitute on last years varsity crew, who is now teaching in tke high school at Waterbury, has shown a striking application of Latin to athletics. His translation of the motto on Osborn hall, "Reci cultus pectora roborant," is "The right kind of training strengthens the chest"
 The senior society limitations took place last evening. A large crowd gathered ae usual before Bones hall, while one by one at the appointed hour and minute the can didates stepped forward to the mysterious gateway. After waiting there for mo- ment of thrilling silence the door was sud denly opened few inches and a long arm was reached out and seized the the most available part of his person (sometimes by the coat collar, occasionally by the hair) and was drawn as suddenly back, carrying with it the victim. A Judi crous incident was that incidental to the disappearance of Stanford Morrison, the football player, whose feet caught in the narrow opening. The other society initia. tions took place quietly about o'clock. A number of alumni members of the society were present to assist, among them being | George A. Adee of Barton, N. Y., J. F. Kernochan of New York, R. w. Hunting ton, jr., of Hartford, A. B. McConkey of Harrisburg, Pa., and B. R. Jones of Buff l falo
 Stagg will pitch at the Yale game with the Boston League team to take place here l next Friday.
 The last meeting of the Freshman union was held in Old chapel last night. Juniors | will draw for rooms on the campus fol next year to morrow.
 The foundations of the new dormitory are nearly or quite finished, and the build | CTS are preparing to put in the woodwork 1 Now that the society elections, initia- | tions and other celebrations are over, the campus is very quiet and seems to be talk, ing a rest preparatory to the hustle oi | commencement.
