 A mass meeting of the students of the Yale law school was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock to hear reports of the progress of the baseball team which will represent that department of the university this spring. There was a large and enthusiastic attendance. Blake, Coach Farnham, Captain Segel- baum and large number of others. They were all encouraging and showed the prospects for winning team to be very bright. Coach Farnham stated that the candidates thus far out dis play good talent and he is sure the team will be worthy of the institution. Both he and Hamlin of last years var Sity team have entered school and are in consequence eligible to play. The question of finances is the only stum- bling block in the way, but it is expect ed that that will be removed in the course of week or ten days. About $500 is needed to equip the men and take the prospective southern trip dur ing the spring vacation.
 Three local games will be played be- fore the spring vacation-one with the Harvard law school, one with the Hamdens and one with the Edgewoods.
