SPORTING EVENTS.

A special telegram to the Philadel-
phia Times from New Haven says:
The Yale crack team under Captain
Fisher and Trainer COPELAND are MAX
ing desperate efforts to win from Harry
ard in the annual dual games which
will be held at the Yale field on May
g. The two teams have had a chance
to show what they could do two or
three times this spring. and from the
results it is easy to see that the con-
tests will come close. Last year the
teams We're evenly matched and Yale
expected to win by a narrow margin,
but Harvard was favored by the very
substantial influence of performing on
home grounds. and Yale lost, Sc to as.
Since that time the Blue has lost sew
eral men who scored points in these
games and has developed only one new
man this year who will in all proba-
bility do anything.
Much figuring has been done on the
views Harvard ought to win by at least
81 to 45 points. This estimate is favor
ing the Yale athletes very decidedly
on a close comparison of the recent
records, but the factor of home grounds
is expected to bring out the best work
the men are capable of.
The bicycle and mile walk are not
included in the events this year. The
following is the summary made out by
the followers of Yale's team. First
place counts 5, second 2, and third /:

scurry for lamps, candles, and any
primitive style of illumination. 1t was
learned that the shut-off was due to
a break in the ffume at point about
three miles above town. The break
is reported to have been caused by the
sliding of a mass of ice, With a pres
sure which the f1ume structure could
not Withstand. Il was the expectation
of those in charge of the power house
that the break could be repaired so as
to permit the lighting service to be re-
sumed before daybreak of this morning.
