Trinity Sehoors Protest Against Ne La
Snlle Discussed.

A special meeting OF the football committee
of the New York Interscholastic A. A. was held
at Cutler School, 12o East Fifticth street. yester-
day afternoon. The delegates present we're: G.
Henderson Cutler, ChairmRn; Ii. Bayno, BerGe-
10y; r. Thompson. Columbia Grammar; +,
Faulkner. Barnard; S. Kidder, Trinity. The
meeting was called for tho purpose OF hearing
evidence on tho protest entered by Trinity School
In regard to the game between that team and
tho eleven of De La Sale Institute for the cham
pionship of the association. The Trinity boys
claim that they made a touchdown in the second
half, which was not allowed by the referee.
This is how the dispute occurred' Trinity
had the ball on De La Sales two-and-a-half-
yard line, where it was passed to O'Rourke. who
threw tho right tackle, and. IL is claimed. laid
the ball fully three feet over the line. Then hs
called down. 1t is also claimed that the referee
did not blow his whistle; and. furthermore,
when the ball was practically dead or not in
motion, De La Sales players pushed II back.
The referee then took the oval, and instead Of
allowing n touchdown, as II claim I'd, carried
the ball back again. saying that 1t was Trinity's
third down and they had three inches TO go for
"a touchdown.
Before the regular meeting the committee
CisiOn OF the referee was final or whether It
could be appealed. The upon its re-
turn announced that II was ready to go on.
Counsel for Trinity School spent some time in
right TO give n tnal decision on the protest, or
whether IL had to be referred to the association.
The committee announced that the decision of
the referee would not be reversed unless IL was
proven that he was incompetent. That official
will be heard before the makes its
final report.

ability to perceive light failed. From her four

Perkins Institute FOR the blind in Boston. There
she was educated. She learned to read by tho
raised letters. to write by the aid Of parallel
lines, to play the piano, and as she WIS bright
and mad n good mind. her education Was equal
TO that Of other persons with a similar misfor-
tune.
Miss Beers returned to Newtown and lived Mt
home, becoming so familiar with her surround
ings that she was able 10 do all manner Of
housework. She Eept house for her father for
many years in Newtown. she was familiar
with everything At home, 80 that she went

stewards. The suspension OF u Jockey shall not take

Only Eight Men Entitled to Compete Last
AIrht.

Only Eight Mon Entitled to Compete Last
Night.
At tho Knickerbocker A. G. last night the
management tried to enforce u rule by which
the entries for the boxing finals should weigh
In in strict conformity with their respective
classes. 1t was said that the boxers received
due notice at the preliminaries on Tuesday
night, when 1t was discovered that the men
weighed just what they pleased. Thirty
boxers were entered to compete last night
but u bomb was exploded in their
ranks whom they learned that they would
have to scale u stipulated. weight. When II
was time Tor tho bouts to begin the entry list
had dwindled down to Just eight men. or the
four bouts only one was interesting. In tho 1885,
the New Yves. Sido A. o., were paired against
each other. Their love taps were so atreotionRte
that tho referee told them to mix IL UP. They
refused and in the second round Burns forfeited
TO his clubmate. The final bout In this class
WAS the interesting feature of the night The
principals were w. Mumtord, new W est Side
4. g., and j. Mcintyre, st. Bartholomew A. {.
MumfOrd scored heavily about tho body and
won. They fought two ROUNDS and
w. Dorr were disqualified In tho final bout OF
the ll5-pound class for refusing to fight hard.
