form of the Colored Knights, which is en- tirely different. The Colored Knights have no connection whatever with the Order of Knights of Pythias, for the first require ment for admission is that the applicant must be white male citizen not under tweuty-one years of age. King Kalakaua was refused admission to the order be- cause he was not white.
 COULD RESIGNS.
 Ives Will Re the Captain of the Crew, If Health Permits-YaIe Will Develop a Batting Nine-Secretary Hughes Has a Poor Memory. The students of Yale university who
 were not acquainted with the inner work ings of the football management were sur prised yesterday by the following an nouncement in the News:
 To Yale University Boat Club E. H. Floyd Jones, President:
 Owing to circumstances over which I have no control, hereby tender my resignation as captain of the Yale crew.
 J. AVERY GOULD. Gould has but little to say on the sub ject, merely stating that he considered it for the best interests of the university to resign. Further inquires brought out the fact that though there has been no quarrel or trouble of any kind between Gould
 and his men yet ever since his election last June certain graduates prominent in aquatic affairs, among whom were Bob Cook, have never been quite satisfied with the election Gould and Ballist were really the only men available for the purpose, and the choice finally fell on Gould. But now new man orrixyo nr, fhn 1x,ae ,I@ on the winning crew in go and has since is in training again this year. He is the man par excellence for the position, hay ing mastered the Cook stroke and being an expert on all matters pertaining to the crew.
 He is one of the best strokes Yale has ever had and is better fitted personally to coach 8 crew than Gould. The latter has
 been brought to see this, and his resigna- tion is most creditable.
 | "Josh" Hartwell will probably be cap
 tain if Ives finds that his heart difficulty will not let him row after all. Yale will develop this year a nine of
 the team will begin practising batting. It is the custom to have man to pitch. This position has not yet been filled, but it is understood that Jack Homer, who so cred itably filled this position for few years past, is willing to accept an engagement and will probably be secured for another year.
 A new catcher has been found in '95, Cole, from Pottstown, Pa. He so far out distanced the ether competitors for this position.
 B. w. Trafford, '93, was unanimously elected captain of Harvard's eleven for 1899.
 Secretary Hughes of the Manhattan Ath- letic club is reported to have denied that
 he said that there were 37,000 people present. There must be some mistake, as MT. Hughes said in the presence of a COURIER reporter at the close of the game that 37, ,000 people had entered the gates at half-past 1. The Yale and the Princeton arrangements are acting carefully and dis creetly and will exert every effort to find out exactly what their rights are and to secure them.
 The following subjects for the Golden club medal have been announced:
 1. Recent Notifications in the Theory of Free Competition.
 3. Workingmen's Insurance: Voluntary and .. 3. The Public Debts of the European States oa 4 The G;c Econemic e Development of the Ameri can Coionles Of the Seventeenth Century.

This medal is one of six similar ones which are offered in different parts of the world for the greatest efficiency attained in political economy. One of these is offered in Aus tralia, one in India, one in England and three in the United States-one each at Harvard, Williams and Yale
 The students are remembering "Joe," the college postman. The men on the
 ampus have clipped in % cents apiece, and large purse has been made for Christmas present to the genial and &C., commodating postman.
