 The Yale-Princeton gymnastic ex- hibition, the first event of the kind ever held between American colleges, took place last evening at the Yale gymna- sium. The exercises were not of the nature of a contest, but were simply alternate exhibitions of feats of strength and athletic skill by the two teams and individual members. The galleries were filled with spectators, as were also the chairs, which had been arranged about the sides of the main floor.
 The members of the two teams were as follows:
 YaIe-George S. Buist; jr., 'ss, captaini M. H. Kershaw '95, G. A. Lewis '95, M. c. Adams '96, l.. c. Jones '96. H. A. Loomis '96, C. L. Fincke '96, A. J. Gill; more '96 S., R. Mitchell 'e6 s., Harold Lee 96 S., w. H. Pouch '96 s., s. G. B. McCallum 97, H. S. F. Hoffman 's7s P. D. Mills '97 S., F. A. Sehlbach '9Ss M V. Ely '98, F. T. Anderson '9S, J. S. Fewsmith ,9S A. D. Smith '9s, w. K. Shepard '97 s., A. H. Terry 's8 s. D- Kellogg '9S, R. D. Douglass '9S, Otto Monahan, F. T. Clark, P. G.

 Club swinging Yale, Loomis, Clark Douglass, Pouch, Monahan and Ffncke.
 Double trapeze, Princeton, Blackmore, McCaul; tumbling and pyramids, in which each team took part alternately.
 Many of the feats performed were truly difficult and showed the result of much practice. The balancing trapeze work was fine. The performer balanced himself on a chair, two posts of which were on the round.
 He also balanced himself on his knees on the poles and did other dtfficuIt tricks.
 The flying trapeze work also called forth much applause. The men who did the work held each other suspended in every position, and caught each other on jump several times
 L'Eschelle is something never before seen at Yale. The apparatus used is sort of combination of parallel bars and trapeze and the work on it is also Q combination of the exercise usually per- for of those two apparatus.
 In the club swinging the Yale team showed to good advantage and gave an exhibition of some intricate forms of the exercise, presenting a very perfect effect
 The last number on the program, the pyramids and tumbling, was perhaps the best of the whole. The tumbling of various forms of the ''hand- spring" somersaults in the air, walk ing on hands, and variations of these. The pyramids were very ingeniously ar- ranged and presented a new feature of gymnastics The members of the teams arranged themselves by standing on each others shoulders and otherwise clinging together, so as to assume the shape of pyramid. Then when it was all complete at prearranged signal all to the consternation of the ladies who thought that they would be crushed, the mass came to the floor, but in such way as to injure no one.
 At the conclusion of the exercises the Yale team gave the famous "brek-ke-ke- kex" with Princeton at the end, and the Princeton team in return gave their boom-ah" ending it up with Yale.
 Dr. Anderson says that considering the short time the Yale team has been and also that nothing of this kind was ever attempted at Yale before he was much pleased with the work of the team. Next year, he says, anoth- CT like meet will be held, and then he expects to make a much better showing of the team
