The Unions won a double victory last
night on the Jackson avenue alleys from
the Halliday team in the local league.
The result was not gained by any show
ing of cleverness on the part of the
Unions, whose weakness is surprising the
followers of the league who picked the
team for one of the foremost places. The
club beat the 500 mark in the first game,
but were nearly 100 pins below their first
score in the second game, and by reason
of a lack of ability the Halladays were
beaten when their chance for success was
excellent. The scores we're

YA1E NOTES OF INTEREST.

Bob Cook Says His Crew Will Win at
 Poughkeepsfe-Fred Murphy Will Catch
 in Saturdays Game With Princeton
 Goodwin is III and Unable to Play-An
 Around Championship Games To-day.
 The Yale crew will leave at 3 o'clock this afternoon for New London and will be given the usual send-off by the Yale students from the Osborn hall corner. The crew will be met on their arrival at New London by a launch and will be taken to Christopher Browns at Gales Ferry. The crew and the shell will be taken from New London on June 19 on Mrs. Charles Ii. Hardness yacht Prin- cess to stuyvesant Place, two miles above Poughkeepsie, where they will be uuartered until the race on the Hud- son.
 Bob Cook, in speaking Of the crew to friend yesterday, said that he be- lieved that he had a winning crew this year, and said that he believed that the Yale crew would make successful showing against Harvard's crew. MT. Cook is usually very reticent in speak ing of his crew-and that he should have expressed his opinion in this way shows that he is very confident of the ability of Yales oarsnnen.
 MURPHY WILL CATCH SATURDAY.
 Arthur Stanley Goodwin of Brooklyn, who a short time ago superseded Bart lett as catcher of the Varsity baseball team is very III and will be unable to play in the game with Princeton Satur- day. It was at first thought that MT. Goodwin had appendicitis, but Dr. Rustin Yale '95, well known member of the nine of that year, said yesterday that he thought that peritonitis was the difficulty. He believed that the ill., ness was not serious and that Goodwin would be around again in few days. He will, however, probably not be able to play for week at least. Fred Mur- phy, '9T ex-captain of the football team, who stepped in last season when Yale was badly in need of catcher, went to the training table Monday night and will catch next Saturday. The accession of Murphy greatly strengthens the team. He did star work behind the bat for Yale last year. The freshman nine will play Law renceville at Yale field tomorrow af- ternoon at 2:30. This will be the first time that Lawrenceville has played any Yale team in New Haven. Dr. Mckenzie, who is at the head of the school, is opposed to the teams of the school entering athletic contests outside of Lawrenceville, and only consented to permit the baseball team to come to New Haven after receiving an urgent letter from the Lawrenceville club. TO DECIDE ALL AROUND CHAM
 PIONSHIP.
 The Yale track team has decided to hold at Yale field this afternoon meet to decide the all around championship of the university. The events have not yet been decided upon, but several events which were contested in the in ter-collegiate meet will probably be omitted. First place in any event will count five points, second place two points and third place one point.

Still there remained a vast interior sea, which, later on, in the tertiary age, was to be divided by the slow uprising of the land, which only yesterday-that Is to say, a million, or three or five or ten millions of years ago-became the Rocky mountains. High and erect these young mountains stand to this day, their sharp angles and rocky com tours Vouching for their youth, in strange contrast with the shrunken forms of the old AdIrondacks, Green mountains and Appalachians, whose lowered heads and rounded shoulders attest the weight of ages,
 Then came the long winter of the gla- eial epoch-perhaps of a succession of glacial epochs, The ice sheet extended southward to about he fortieth paral- Tel, driving some animals before 1t and destroying those that were unable to migrate. At its fulness, the great ice mass lay almost a mile in depths over New England, as attested by the scratched and polished rock surfaces and deposited erratics in the White mountains. Such mass presses down with weight of about one hundred and twenty-five tons to the square foot, &C., cording to pr. Crolrs estimate. It crushed and ground everything beneath it more or less, and in some regions planed off hilly surfaces into prairies. Creeping slowly forward. it carried all manner of debris with it. When it melted away its terminal moraine built up the nucleus of the land masses now known as Long Island and Staten Is- land; other of it's deposits formed the "drumlins about Boston famous as Bunker and Breeds hills; and 1t left a long irregular line of ridges of "tilr' or powder clay and scattered erratics clear across the country at about the latitude of New Tory city.

 New Haven Bimetallic Union Takes
 Exceptions to a Text Book Used in
 the Public schools-Will Ask the
 Board of Education to Withdraw it
 From the Schools,
 A meeting of the New Haven Bi- metallic union, organized about three weeks ago, was held last evening in the lodge room of Henry c. Merwin G. A. K. post in the Insurance building. John F. McCusker, president of the union, was in the chair and about twenty five members were present, Various questions relating to the subject of bi- metallism were asked and answered. Ex-Judge Sheldon was lecturer of the meeting Alexander Troup spoke Of Thomas United States history, which is used in the public schools of the city, and asserted that in the book were misstatements in regard to historical facts connected with the question of bimetallism. MT. Troup said that when he first read the book he thought that It was campaign speech by some sin gle standard advocate. He said that not fact stated in the book was true, but that it looked as though it had been gotten up by the Indianapolis conven- tion. MT. Troup said that Superin- tendent Kendall had told him that he had only looked at the book casually and did not know what 1t contained. MT. Troup thought that MT. Kendall ought to know what Is In the book and said now that the matter has been brought to the superintendents atten- tion, he ought to withdraw it from the public schools. Some one proposed that the placing of the book in the public schools be investigated. MT. Troup said that when the book was withdrawn it would be time enough to investigate and that if there was an investigation there would probably be found big ger "nigger in the fence" than there was in the matter of the street sprink- ling advertisement. It was asserted by several gentlemen present that the book was written from a partisan point of view and that not a fact in it Is true.
 It was finally voted by the meeting that the executive committee of the New Haven Bimetallic union be di- lected to appear before the board of education at its next meeting, call the attention of the board to the misstate- nlents in the books, request its with draWal from the public schools, and ask that an impartial history be substituted in its place. The executive committee of the New Haven Bimetallic union consists of Messrs. McWilliams, Ray mond, Hatch, McCusker and pr. Full Ter,

WRINKLES IN LETTER WRITING

WRINKLES IN LETTER WRITING.
 Good form of writing notes or letters has been changed considerably. You must no longer have a margin at either side of your page, nor divide what you have to say into paragraphs, but write continuously. You mustn't write on each side of the sheet, one after the other, just as they come. Use the front page first, then turn it over and fill up the back; if you still have something left to say attack the other side of the front page, writing crosswise from top to bottom and so on down, filling both the inside pages. This, according to an eminent authority, is "considered to be the incest way among the incest peo- ple." That settles 1t. Neither must you date your letter at the upper right hand corner any more. Put~it at the lower left hand corner at the end of the letter. Write 1t all out. The economy of time and space implied by the use of figures is offensive to good society. In an informal note, however, you will be permitted to express the year in figures, but the day of the month, never.-Chi- cago Chronicle.
