NOACADEMY-ExETER MEET
Student Body of Worcester School Re-
fuses to Concade Everything.

There will be no indoor track athletic
meeting between Exeter and Worcester
Academy after all Notice that the Wor~
cester Academy students are not willing to
accept Exeters date of March 18th for the
games has been sent to Exeter, and as
games must be held on that day or not at
all, prospects of an indoor meeting this
spring have been entirely given up by the
academy boys
The academy athletes and Trainer Dono-
van, as has already been stated in the Spy,
believed it was better to accept Exeter's
proposition than to have the meet fall
through and We're in favor of coming to
Exeter's terms. The student-body how
ever, entertained a, different view of the.
situation, and maintained that academy
had already conceded everything to Ex-
eter in the way of dates for athletic con-
tests in former years, and that this time it
was the New Hampshire schools turn to be
willing to make a concession. AS the ma
jority ruled, the meet was given up.
The members of the athletic team at
Worcester Academy broke training Friday
afternoon, and probably win take no more
active work until the middle of next
getting them into shape for the outdoor
interscholastic sports. Some of the men
In the field events however, will continue
their practice. Just as soon as the
weather is suitable Trainer Donovan says
he will have out every available man who
can put the shot or throw the hammer,
with a view to developing a couple of pro-
ficient men for these events in the out
door sports.

day he was called into the office and

Smith and asked him why bill should
be sent him when he was working on

contract, which instead of being con-

CARRIAGES IN ELM PARK:
A Correspondent Says the Commissioners
Themselves Set Bad Example
TO the Public.
To the Editor of the Spy:

To the EDITOR OF the Spy:
Among the criticisms of the work of
the parks commission on Elm Park, the
past year, there is one innovation they
introduced to the grounds which I have
not seen mentioned, the effects of which
are far-reaching and decidedly wrong
to the park and people.
Every morning last summer the com
missioners might have been seen rid
ing on to the grounds and through the
footways in their carriages, thus-in eff
feet, by eXample-making wagon-roads
and a thoroughfare along the pretty
avenues where vehicles were never al
lowed or seen before. OF course the
walks were much cut up in consequence
by the wheels and feet of horses But
this was the least of the evils attending
their action.
The example of vehicles on the park
they placed before the public was eager
ly taken advantage of by the young
bicycle people, and their machines were
to be seen fitting through the grounds
all summer, to the great annoyance and
danger of quiet people, women and
children. OF course it is well known
that where other vehicles may go, the
bicycle has an equal privilege, and it is
also well understood there are no road
ways on the lower grounds of Elm
Park.
So this action of the commissioners in
riding through the park, seems all the
more strange and inexcusable. Is it
not little disrespectful to the ladies,
too who frequent the grounds, in cut
ting up the walks under their thfnly-
clad feet.
Of course this action of the commits
sioners was clearly an inadvertence, but
the resultant mischief was the same.
Why not have hitching-posts at all of
. the park entrances? This would seem
to be desirable and very proper thing
to have done.
The wheels Of vehicles, of whatever
name or nature, and the feet of horses
should never be allowed to traverse the
avenues, or to deface the pathways of
