Richards, HielSok and Cady Will be Missed From the Yale Team for the Field and Track Games This Year,

New York, Jan. 29.--Of the fifteen men who competed for Yale in field and track games last summer four have left New Haven, and will not be available for 1S96 They are Richards, Cady, Hickoll and Crane. The loss of Rich ards will be severe. For three years he contributed much to the success of the team, and, in fact, was probably second to Hickok, who won more points Tor Yale in four years than any other man in a decade. l3urnet will probably be Yale'S best man in the short track events, although Wade will try for the 220 and 40 Hickok not only scored himself, but he coached Chadwick, cross and Brown so well that with the aid of Jim Mitchell they ought to do better than their predecessor. As Cady was beaten by Perkins last year, he will not be missed. Hatch is also showing good form Yale men are glad that Morgan remains for the mile Thompson i'll the high jump, and Wadhams for the long runs.

 Much to the surprise of every one, even the officers of the New Jersey A.. C., the entries for the carnival of sports to be held in Madison Square Garden next Saturday night number almost 100. The handicapper, Mr. Carter, has gi- gantic task on hand. Yale will be rep resented by dozen good men; Penn sylvania by her cEackajack runners Orton, the champion and Oates, q promising young flyer. Princeton is also represented, ai1d the meeting will have an intercollegiate coloring to 1t that is unusual for a club sst of games. That the championship runs, the two- mile steeplechase and the ten-mile run, will be scorehng events is a certainty. A letter from Holy Cross college, where Conneff is training, says that the little Irishman is in almost perfect shape while Bean of Boston writes to the same effect, as do the other men who have been training for these na- tional races. The interscholastic quar- ter mile has brought out the fastest | itan district and the result of this race will pretty satisfactorily show the best young men in the schools at that dis tance. A large number of applications have already been received for seats. Requests for seats should be sent to James F. Sullivan, 241 Broadway, New York, or Frank w. Sanger, Madison Square Garden The tickets will be placed on public sale to-day
 The United States Golf association has had a wonderfully successful ca reer since it's organization a year ago It has firmly established the game in this country and has raised it to a po- sition which it would not otherwise oc- cupy. Originally starting with mem bership of five clubs, it now has thirty one, counting the allied clubs. The clubs pay an annual fee of $l0O each a year and are entitled to two represen- tatives at lthe meetings, while allied clubs pay S25 a year each, with ont representative who is not entitled to 8 vote.
 Harvard will have a strong cricke team this year and will make a har( fight to regain the intercollegiate cham pionship when she plays at Philadelphia on May 22 and 23. It is Harvard's turr to play Harvard@and the University ot Pennsylvania away from home. Int officers of the year are: President, A :, c. Barrett; secretary and treasurer , George von Utassy. Ware Hall, liar yard; and captain, Percy Clark. What sad thing it was for Steve , O'Donnell that he was ever prevailed upon to fight Peter Maher! Before tha , happened the sporting public regarded , him a fighter, and had he never made a match. except as some othel fighters do, none would ever have beer the wiser. ODonnells attempt to ge on a fight with Choynski is likely to enc , in failure.
