the NJ. 1. Thrown meet, but took part.
He did not have to do fast time in his
events.
There was much speculation last eve
ming as to which events Bray and Hall
would enter. Each is good at the three
middle distances, the half, mile and two
miles. Dartmouth men plan to get
somewhere in the distance events, if
the cracks compete in all. Garrett of
M. l. T. is also credited with being able
to give them a hustle if they compete
in all three.
Williams is strong on the track, but
not particularly so on the field. Dart
mouth is strong in the field, but cannot
figure on much on the track. Amherst
has good men IN the field events, and
strong ones on the cinder path. M. 1.
T. s best men are the field men. The
race is said to be between Dartmouth,
Williams and Amherst, but neither of
those three is able to figure where the
other colleges will come in.
The executive committee of the n. e.
l. A. A. met last evening in room 4, Bay
State House. The entries of NJ 1. T. and
Worcester Tech were accepted. 1t was
decided that the trials in the 220. 440
Yards runs, shot put and bicycle race be
held at the oval this morning.
NJ. /. T. entered protest on holding
the bicycle race atNthe oval. The under
place on the fair ground That track can
not be used. NJ. l. T. asked that the race
be held on some other day, and on some
other track than the oval. After consid-
cradle debate it was decided to hold the
race at the oval
The convention of delegates called for
last evening did not take place on account
of a lack of delegates.

can Representatives.

in the $50; Splitter, Yale, and Clark,
Harvard, in the one-mile; Scudder or
Chittendon, Yale and Mills, Harvard,
for two miles; Fox, Harvard, and
Finke, Yale, in high hurdles; Daily and
Harrington, Harvard, or Clapp, Yale, in
the broad jump; Rotch and Rice, Har-
ward, in high jump; and Clapp and
johnson, Yale, in the pole vault. Clapp,
as every one knows, is holder of the
worlds record of IL feet 6 inches D. the
pole vault. johnson is well known in
Worcester as a former Worcester Ac-
adCmy student His work, too, has
been remarkable in the pole vault. He
has all but equaled Clapps record.
After receiving the challenge yester-
day, Harvard lost no time in cabling a
provisional challenge as follows: I'VE
hope to accept" This means that the
only thing lacking to make the pro-
posed meet an actually so far as Har-
ward is concerned is the faculty sane
ton. 1t is not thought there will be
any difficulty on that score. A final
answer viii doubtless be cabled in the
near future, just as soon as the faculty
sanction and consent can be obtained.
Should the meet take place next sum-
mer it viii be the first event in which
English and American university men
have competed since a number Of Yale
athletes visited England and were de-
feated by the Oxford Cambridge men,
three summers ago. A year later some
British athletes were defeated by the
New York Athletic Club in New York,
but they were not undergraduates.
1t is felt that America will have a
better chance of winning this year than
before, as then England had the pick
of two universities, while Americas
representatives were confined to but
one.
Past records, however, go to show
that the English usually win on their
own soil, while Americans are equally
invincible at home. This is due to two
reasons. First, to the difference in cli-
mate, a matter which has troubled
more than ono American oarsnan on
the Thames; and second, the difference
in track, the Englishmen never using
the cinder track habitual to Americans.
To obviate the latter difficulty, the
Americans will strive to get as many
field events admitted as possible.
The Englishmen will undoubtedly be
at a great advantage, being on home
soil, but the American team, as indi-
Gated above, is so strong that many are
confident that they will come back tri-
umphant and if not victorious this
year, 1t is hoped they will be more sue
eessful next, when the Britishers will
probably be visitors on this side.

Boston, May 19-An International
athletic meet will in all probability be
held in England this summer. Unless
negotiations now under way, and near
ly completed, fall through the flower of
the Harvard and Yale track teams will
meet the star aggregation from the
English universities. Yesterday a chal-
lenge was received by Harvard and
Yale universities from oxford and Cam
bridge, inviting their representatives to
compete in a dual meet to be held in
England the middle of July.
Harvard university has made pro-
visional reply and there is little doubt
that the meet is assured, although no
final agreement has been made. Nego-
tiations have been going on secretly for
many months looking to an information
al meet, but it is only today that the
Spy's correspondent is able to give the
first authentic report of the matter
An interesting feature is the fact that
a Worcester man, Capt. James Roche
of the Harvard team, will probably be
captain of the combined team Of the
American universities. Being captain
of the winning Harvard team his
friends deem it almost certain that he
will be named captain of the combined
team, although, that, of course, is a
minor point that will be only decided
later. Another local man, Johnson,
once a student in Worcester academy,
will be another member of the team.
The challenge stipulates that there
shall be nine events and the American
team is to be selected by mutual agree
ment of the athletic authorities of Har-
ward and Yale English incline more to
track than field events and it is be-
lieved they will try to exclude the shot
put and hammer throw.
The program the Britishers favor is
said to be, the 100 yards, the 440 yards,
the $50 yards, the one mile and the two
mile runs, the high hurdles, high jump,
broad jump and either the low hurdles
or the pole vault. The Americans will
without doubt strive to get the pole
vault recognized so as to give Clapp, the
famous Yale vaulter, a chance. They
think that the English have no man
that can equal his wonderful perform
ances of last year.
The probable makeup OF the Amer
lean team is as follows: Roche, Har-
ward and Blount, Yale, 100 yards;
Ouinlan, Harvard, third choice; Board
man, Yale, and Burke, Harvard, in the
44O; Adams, Yale, and Bush, Harvard

New York, May 19.-The feature of
today's sessions of the Mazet investi-
eating committee was the unearthing
of an alleged system Of corruption in
the disposition of dead bodies from a
city hospital; a somewhat ghoulish
tale, but one that was well corrobo-
rated and replete with details. BY sew
eral witnesses it was stated that an
undertaken named Marren Illegally Sc
cured the funerals of all bodies taken
to Harlem hospital. and that he was
enabled to do this by bribing clerks
in the employ of the city to break the
rules.
1t was also shown that apparently
an acquaintanceship existed between
Marren and Messrs. Croker and
Carroll. A large number of witnesses
were called and a multiplicity of sub
jects were touched upon during the
examination.
Another effort was made to get the
bookmaker, James Mahoney, to ac-
knowledge that he was connected with
pool rooms, but this witness added
nothing but a little mirth to the Lro-
ceedings though he refused to deny
the many accusations made against
him. The old question of sewer pipe
and the connection between the Con.
tractors Supply Company and the city
departments, was gone into, sew aral
several witnesses being called, but the
only apparent important point elected
was that Richard Croker had objected
to his sons going into this concern
when he learned that it intended to
supply the city departments. The
question of contributions to the politi-
cal organization fund by candidates
and officeholders was also touched
upon, but nothing startling.
At a certain point in the examind-
ton, there was a loud explosion in the
court room. Great excitement ensucG.

questions, threw up his hands wildly
Smoke penetrated through every cor

events. Rooney and Patterson in the
sprints are some Of Williams best
men.
Dartmouth brought the largest team,
having 25 athletes. Dartmouth hasn't
any stars, but has a strong team.
Amherst followed a few hours later
with II men. Curtenius, in the dashes,
is the mainstay Of the Amherst team.
Gladwin in the 440 and Dudley in the
bicycle race are good ones.
Bowdoin's best man is Capt Godfrey,
who is doing well in the shot put. He
has been resting for a week. He I'M
derwent strength tests which Slapped
his strength, and John Graham made
him lay off this week. Edwards, in the
low hurdles, and Cloudman, in the
sprint, are other good ones from Bow
dom.
Capt. Bray of Williams, in talking
with The Spy man, said his team is
now banking on winning. He said the
experience of last year taught his men
not to do that. He says he is in good
form, and figures on getting points for
his team in the distance events. Pot
ter he also looks to as a point winner.
He has hopes of Rooney and Patterson
scoring in the dashes.
Capt Klaer of Amherst said he re-
lies on Curtenius getting points in the
dashes He thinks well of Gladwin in
the quarter He win not be disap-
pointed if he scores in the half, and
looks to Dudley to do something in the
bicycle race.
Capt. Collar of Dartmouth said there
are no stars on his team, but it is a
strong one nevertheless, and he expects
to pick up many points in the field
events. Dartmouth's hopes are that
the other colleges will split the first
places among the stars of several col
leges, while the wearers of the green
can keep piling up seconds and thirds.
A report came from Brown that Dave
Hall, the crack middle distance man,
the one who is relied on to give Bray
the best argument, is laid up with water
on the knee. He was in bed yesterday,
but will compete today, as his physi-
clan gave him permission. Hall was
affected the same way four days before
