Why She VIII Not Engage In Inter-
national iihic:i" Contests.
BOSTON. Mass. June 27.-Harvard Uni
versity's committe, on athletic Sports has
sent a reply to the invitation of Oxford and
Cambridge Universities to an international
university athletic contest in this country
next autumn. The reply, which is n decli-
nation, was cabled by the Associated Press
TO the representatives, of oxford and Cam
bridge. IL is as follows:
HARVARD UNIVERSITY
Cambridge, Mass. u. S. A., June ~. '95
Messrs. W. J. Oakley and F. S Koran,
presidents of the University Athletic
Clubs of oxford and Cambridge:
Dear Sirs: Your letter of June 10, in ,ting
Harvard University to unite with Yale
University in meeting the Universities of
Oxford and Cambridge in an athletic compe-
ttion in this country next autumn has
been referred to the Harvard committee on
the regulation of athletic sports
We appreciate highly the courtesy of your
invitation, and it is with much regret that
we feel obliged to forego the pleasure of
he proposed competition.
We could hardly accept your invitation
without assuming, in appearance at least,
that Harvard and Yale occupy the pronni-
nent position among American universities
which Is held among English universities
by Oxford and Cambridge. As there IS no
foundation in fact for such a pretension
we think it better for university atilla, lies
in this country, well as for univer ;ity
interests in general that we should not
ierd any countenanca to 1t, and that we
should, furthermore, avoid all semblanca OF
spirit of eXclUsNeness toward our sister
universities. Nor considering the narrow
ground of athletic skill, can we forget that
in the latest competition among American
universities, Harvard won only the third
place
As matter of general principle it seems
10 us that international student COMPETE
lions would be best arranged either be-
tween two groups of universities fairly
representing the general body of students
IN each country, or else between single
universities on each side.
We regret that YOU were not free to ac-
cept the invitation of the American Inter-
Collegiate Association, and We are es-
recially sorry, If any miSconception as to
orr attitude in regard to that invitation
influenced you in declining it. We should
I've pleased If, even now, you were dis
posed with Yales concurrence to arrange
iCr competition on the basis of that in
sitaton.
II we should he fortunate enough in some
future year TO win this side of the
water the leadership in the track athletics
Which this year belongs so unquestionaby
TO Yale, we shall hope to have the pleas
IRE of competing with one of you as the
winner of the Oxford Cambridge games.
Very truly yours,
J. b. AMES. Chairman,
Harvard Committee,

FIGHTING THE CATERPILLARS.
How the Attempt to Preserve the
Trees VIII he Made.

The great battle of the authorities
against the caterpillars is being waged
in earnest. and upon the result depends
the health and perhaps, the life OF 10000
shade trees. Just at present the attack
CT the authorities is comparatively weak.
This is owing TO the small amount OF
money available, which is always the case
toward the closing of the fiscal year. When
the new appropriation becomes available
July 1 sufficient funds will be set aside to
prosecute the war successfully. There will
he no plugging OF trees with sulphur. no
spraying with deadly fluids ana no burning.
The effected limb will be cut of. 1t has
been decided that this is the best manner
of hghtinS the caterpillar. Chairman Saul,
in Speaking of the matter, says the extern
sion of asphalt streets and concrete side
walks had damaged the trees of the city
considerably. From this can be traced the
caterpillar attacks. 1t was we'll establish
ed. he said that a caterpillar would not
attack a perfectly healthy tree, and when
one is invaded it was certain not to be
healthy.
. The advance guard of the caterpillars has
made its appearance, and the gang en-
ployed to fight it is doing excellent work.
From this time until the first crop is over
Gor there are always two crops of cater
pillars the gang will be kept at work.
When tree shows signs of attack 1t will
be carefully cut and carefully watched.

Maj. Davis of the engineer corps has
made a supplemental contract with Shaile,
& Schniglan for the repairs of the Aque-
duct bridge. 1t is. the result of the recen,
inspection of the bridge by Acting Secre-
tary Doe and Gen, CraighiIl, chief of engi-
neers. Pier No. is in a very serious con-
dition and cannot be thoroughly repaired
with the funds CD hand.
1t has therefore been decided to continue
the work as far as possible and apply to
Congress for an additional appropriation
sufficient to complete the structure. In
been made with The contractors for the
purchase of the Golfer dam at the pier by
the government outright Consequently II
will be allowed to remain around the pier

"The struggle for the life of others. -
There is one philosophy that some
of these husbands appreciate, if not
the philosophy of the pathway to
the ballot-box for their wives, and
that is "the struggle for the lives Of
others"
1t is beautiful saying that "God
could not be everywhere, so he
made mothers"
Bacon said: "This | dare affirm
in knowledge of nature-that a
little natural philosophy and the
finest entrance into it doth dispose
the opinion to atheism, but on the
other side much natural philosophy
and wading deep into it will bring
about mems minds to religion"
Thus it is that little thought
upon the philosophy of woman's
political equality "doth dispose the
opinion" to disfavor, but "wading
deep into it will bring mems minds"
to conviction.
