 lINTERCOLLEGIAT CHALLENGE
 E CUP.
 Dr. Louis l.. Seaman president of
 the Cornell club, has established a
 trophy which shall be an open chal-
 lenge permanently for all American
 college crews
 The announcement was made at the
 annual dinner of the Cornell alumni in
 New York. The deed of gift provides
 that the Cornell Athletic association
 shall hold the cup for one year. or un-
 til the formation of an intercollegiate
 or American Henley Rowing associa-
 tion, if such association shall be form
 ed within one year, and upon the for nation of such association shall trans
 fer such cup in trust to such associa-
 ton or the stewards thereof" The Varsity challenge cup is said to 7 be the largest and finest trophy ever offered for competition in an aquatic event. It is of solid silver, stands thirty three inches high, and weighs , about 220 ounces. The style is Louis XIV, and spaces are left for panels to , allow of special decoration. The cup was designed and made by Theodore }, B. Starr.
 In offering this. trophy it is the do- , nor's desire to establish a permanent
 annual race, open to all colleges and universities. just such contest as the Henley races in England, which form
 the most brilliant athletic and social event of the year. By so doing he , thinks that the controversy which
 comes up year after year between the , colleges striving for some slight ad- 7 vantage on one side or the other would [ be obviated and that once this race be-
 comes firmly established as an annual t event and the chief annual event of it's : kind, all this intercollegiate pickering , which is spelling sport will surely dis
 appear. 5 YALE LOG. The Engineers club met last even } ing in North Sheffield hall at 1880 3 o'clock.
