TO ENTER THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
Princeton to Send an Athletic Team
to the Paris Exposition.

Princeton, n. j., June 12.-It was learned
this afternoon that the Princeton Univer-
sity Track Association will send a team
to Paris in 1900 to represent the United
States in the Olympic games to be held
during the exposition. When questioned
concerning the matter this afternoon Capt.
John F. Cregan said:
''Yes, we have definitely decided to send
team to Paris next year. Princeton's
team showed up in excellent style in the
last Olympic games held in Athens and
We have determined TO send a team next
year which we hope will do Just as well
against the athletes from all over the
world who will be gathered there. 1t is
impossible TO say at present just who will
be sent TO represent the university
few of the men who were on the team this
year will certainly go. but there are. SO
many promising schoolboy athletes coming
TO Princeton next fall that it IL likely that
some of them will replace many of the
old men. The Paris team will be made
up of about twelve men who will be chosen
from those who show up the best in the
Intercollegiate championship games. The
faculty have no objection to our sending
team, so that there is absolutely no oh
struction before us"

THE TERRITORIAL PRESS.
OTERO'S JUST DEMAND.
(Alamogordo News

1t may be a little early TO consider
territorial politics in the abstract AMI so
far ahead of the November 1900 election.
But it is never too early to do good and
to lay plans for advancing the public in
~terests, SO here goes:
For legislative purposes the county Of
Otero is attached to the counties of
Dona Ana and Grant. These three
counties are entitled to one member of
the council and member of the house
for Grant county, one member of the
house for Dona Ana county and a mem
Der of the house for the three counties.
1t will therefore be seen that in the next
campaign Otero county must be linked
with the two counties named for the
election of the joint asSemblyman. AS
the counties of Dona Ana and Grant
will each have one of their citizens to
represent them, the county of Otero will
ask for the nomination of one of its citi-
zens for the joint assemblyman for the
district.
Il may well be presumed that the
leaders of each party will wish to treat
Otero county fairly in this matter and
that it will only have to be presented to
them in the right light to secure this
concession which can be easily arranged
by allowing the opposing candidates fol-
joint aSSemblyman to be selected by the
Otero county delegations to the joint
conventions of the two leading political
parties.
This will do for the politicians to think
about and for Otero county to insist up.
OF until the legislative assembly be.
slows upon this county equal privileges
with the other two counties in the dis.
trict.
