THE GYMNASIUM.
The gymnasium opens on the 10th instant
under the direction of Prof. Crossley, and from
the plans outlined he promises to make this

will be the classes for members who make no
pretense to becoming athletes or gymnasts, but
who will do the work in the classes for exercise
only. Glasses will begin at 4:30 pm. on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays and at pm: on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The
classes for the juniors will begin on the 18th in
slant. The usual number of specialists to
teach their particular branches will be retained.
There is no good reason why any man in the
club should fail to become a member Of these
classes.
FOOT BALL.
Foot ball next to the fall games Is the all
absorbing topic, and as the club has leased the
Washington base ball park on 7th street for
practice and games the men daily attend in
large numbers and show decidedly that this

teams that come here work hard to keep in

trials Of the trip. The crew was composed Of
Capt. Fischer, Lieut. Perkins. Poesche, Benner,
sterns, Longstreet, Morgan, Torbert and Demo,
with Mr.. R. @. Stems as guest. The "Jolly
Three" Is what a very select mysterious organ
ization terms itself, and whether it limits itself
to three or three dozen its ranks will always be

ing last week music by Poesche and Longstreet
and Perkins gave pleasure to the members, and
refreshments rounded out the program.
THE POTOMAC BOAT CLUB.
Here, as at the other boat houses, rowing in
shells is o dead letter, and but for the occa-
sional seeker after exercise in q pleasure boat
the house would be deserted and quiet and
dullness take the place Of noise and hustle, for
the latter part of the season was indeed q
busy, lively one.
Moore is still hsmmering away at the single
SOULS and Maurice, fearful lest his rival with
the SOULS should gain points on him, watches
him from his feet little cat rig.
NOyster roasts ut the up-river landing are
nearly ripe and several are spoken Of to come off
within the next fortnight should the weather
grow cooler.

and their club mates are glad to see them about
again.

coming week to elect governors to fill vacan-
cies on the board.
