Contrary to the expectations of the I'M

now appears that Hutchinson, third base
man on the Princeton ball team, will not
be entered in the intercollegiate meet 1t
was learned yesterday that Captain Hille-
brand insists on Hutchinsons remaining on
the base ball team, but this is Princetons
best chance in twenty years of winning the
meet, and the undergraduates are not rec
onciled to Captain Hilebrand's desire to
have him play in the Harvard game Sat
urday. Captain Cregan said yesterday that
while Hutchinson would probably win not
more than two or three points the result
Of the meet for the first place may be de-
cided on them. Judging from the present
indications and from the statement made
by Captain Hillebrand, Hutchinson will not
be entered in the meet. Serviss, Prince
tons high jumper, has two conditions, but
it is thought he will get them off and be al
lowed to enter the meet.

and l shall never forget the tremen-

by the respective partisans of each of
these great men. Mr.. Douglas had the

pat that even the adherents of that
gentleman had to join in the laughter

foretell with the same exactness what
