UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
The seventy-ffth session of the Uni
versity Of Virginia began to-day with a
large attendance of students-more than
have been seen for several years at this
time Of the year. The promise is for
an increase of at least 20 per cent. This
is rather unexpected. as a large number
Of young men of college age enlisted in
the volunteer service, and none have
been mustered out.
There is good reason TO expect that
the athletic interests, which, firmly held
within judicious limits, have developed
so remarkably in recent years, will not be
lacking in good material. Already there
are on the ground enough good men to
ensure a strong football eleven, and
others have engaged quarters for the SEES
sion. Possibilities among the new matri-
culates are as yet, Of course, unknown. |
The members Of last years Varsity |
team who have arrived, are Templeman, |
Wills, Pearce. Wallace, Walsh, and |
Cocke. Mr.. Harris T. Collier, the cap |
tain Of the eleven. is expected to-mor-
row, and preliminary work will begin at |
once.
