President Smith attended the meeting
of the Inter-C Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton at Bates, on the 10Th. This year the
meeting will be held at Bates on June 10.
Each team will be allowed three men in
each contest, the points counting five for
the first, two for the second and one for
the third prize. The trophy will be a
handsome silver cup to be purchased by
the Association. The contest will be 100
yds. dash; 220 yds dash; 440 yds. dash;
one and two mile runs; / mile walk; run
ming and standing high and running and
standing broad jumps; pole vault; put

hurdle races. This being the first meet
ing of the amalgamate association con-
siderable interest will be taken in the
matter and men will begin practice at
once.

hoped the showing Of Colby will be q
credit to the college. Whitman may be
able to play during the last of the season
but long illness has completely pros
trated him for the present. Hall 93 and
Reynolds '92 are practicing behind the
bat, the former will probably occupy the
position most of the time, Reynolds play
ing centre field. Captain Bonney will
stay at his old place on first, throwing
with old time accuracy to Datlip on 3ru.
Hoxie is retained at second. The short
stop is Jackson, a freshman, who will
prove hoodoo for all balls batted in his
territory. He bats and fills his position
carefully and will prove star before his
Senior year is reached. The outfield will
be composed of Kallock, right-feld, True
leftfeld and either Reynolds or Barnes in
centre. The composition of the nine is
good but without a pitcher they are help
less. By permission of the managers of
Bowdoin and Bates, Puringlon who is
pursuing special course will be allowed
to pitch until Whitman RECEIVERS but he
will not be able to fill the void. Man
ager Nichols and Capt Bonney devote
their whole time to the interest of the
nine and if a good showing is not made
the fault will not be laid at their doors.
The Sophomore Defamation will prob
ably occur in three weeks.
G.. W. Singer, '92 has been elected
historian of the senior class, vice A. C.
Watson, resigned.
With the next number of the Echo the
management passes from 80 to '93.
Much praise is due editor-in-chief Singer
and his untiring staff for the faithful
work done the past year. Unusual liter

that '92 has made the XVI volume sue
cess.
The Senior and Junior classes have
voted to procure the Waterville military
band orchestra for commencement.
Preble and Jordan have begun taking
the senior pictures and thus far have
given complete satisfaction.
The Glee Club netted little more
than $500 from their vacation trip. They
were well received on all hands and a
second visit requested in every instance.
President Small returned Friday from
Chicago where he attended the banquet
Of the new Chicago University.
Much interest is evinced and curiosity
shown as to who will be President Small
successor. Leaving at the end of the
present year instead of '93 as was first

are many of the Alumni who are willing
to take the place but the question arises
as to peculiar fitness. A committee Of
the trustees has been appointed who will
probably report at commencement.
