The junior prom committee at Yale
are having considerable difficulty in
disposing Of a sufficient number of tick
cts to warrant them to proceed with
the necessary preliminary arrangements
for this great society event. Thus far
very few men have by purchasing tick
cts signifled an intention Of attending.
There are many current expenses which
have to be paid Immediately. If not
enough tickets are sold to reach this re-
quired amount it will be necessary to
raise the price of boxes. The class of
ninety-nine should not fail to make this
event one of the most successful ever
known. .... .,

Dr.. w. It. Savage, director of the Co

working at Yale of some gymnastic APP
paratus that may be tried in the Co.
lumbia gymnasium, which is nearing
completion and has been partly opened.
DR.. Savage said that the Columbia gym
nasium had no tank for the indoor work
of the crew, and that he was trying to
procure a substitute for it. He has
been thinking Of putting small boat
into the Columbia swimming pool,
which is very large, but was advised
that the hot, close air of swimming
tank would be deleterious to oarsmen,
so returned to New York having given
up the idea. The Columbia gymnasium
is the costliest in the world.
