 FIELD TO THE ENGLISHMEN.

Track and 'Clnder Path-Fine Arrange
 ments for the Cambridge Mems Enter
 tainmeut-Yale Men to Train at Traver's
 Island.
 For some time since definite arrange ments concerning the Yale Cambridge games have been made, Knight B. Wade, manager of the Yale Athletic association, has been In New Haven completing the details preparatory to receiving the English athletes, who are expected about September 5 in this city, The Cambridge men will be given com plete charge of Yale field and there they will do their training preparatory to competing for laurels with the staunch American team of old Yale. MT. Wade has contracted with Colonel E. w. Root of the Hotel Majestic for the accommodation of the Englishmen, and they will occupy the entire top floor of the building. They will, how ever, bring their own cooks and special walters will be in attendance at their private dining rooms,
 At the field many changes are being made, so as to give the visitors their accustomed conditions of training. Be- sides putting the field in the best pos sible order for training, a new turf track has been nearly completed, on which the hurdles will be practiced. The start for the jump has been fixed according to the English custom, and the cinder track has been smoothed and hardened until it is in the best possible shape. The interior of the club house is also being refitted and will be given over to the exclusive occupation of the visitors. Work is being rushed along rapidly that everything may be in readiness by September 1,
 The Yale team will go into training at Travers' Island about September 1, and Captain Sheldon will shortly issue notices to about twenty-five candidates to report at the island ready for work about twenty of the best will be se- lected for the competing team. Each team is allowed two men in each of the eleven events, but Yale will enter the same man in two or three cases in more than one event The Cam bridge team will do this more exten- sively, as only about fifteen men will be brought over. In the matter of tickets for Manhattan field, the man of To nf cao tc xxyin ha 1aft entirely in the hands of an intercol- legiate committee, and the method of application blanks as used in all Ameri- can intercollegiate contests of late will be used
 A small number were yesterday distributed at Brennan's drug store at 100S Chapel street. The number given out was small, as the real rush will not begin until after the college year opens All the blanks for New Haven will be distributed from this drug store.
 Blanks will soon be sent to various places not yet decided upon. It is, how ever, settled upon that blanks to be filled will be sent to all the Yale alumni associations about the country, each one having a certain number of blanks al- lotted.
 The Cambridge team will cable MT. Wade on starting from England. At these games there will probably be more Yale alumni than have ever been to- gether in the history of the college, as every Yale man is taking a deep interest in the affair and wishes to do all he can to cheer on the valiant cham pions of his alma mater. Many stu dents are beginning to arrive in town, as they have condition examinations for which to4study up and their chief topic of conversation seems to be about the approaching international collegiate contest.
