HARVARD STUDENTS AND LIQUOR.
RECENT ACTION OF THE TRUSTEES WAS
PERMIssIVE ONLY. AND MUST
NOT BE ABUSED

Cambridge Mass, Jan. 9.-From the presidents
office at Harvard University a statement has been
Issued. prompted by reports recently sent from
here concerning the of alcoholic liquors at the
Harvard Union. The statement says that reports
have created the impression that hereafter the
of liquor in the clubrooms will be free and unre-
stricted AS matter OF fact, the original ruling
of the trustees still holds good-that no liquor
should be kept in the building, and that no LIQUOR
should be drunk by the students others in the
general dining or living rooms OF the club. Con-
tinuing, the statement says:
The question had recently been raised whether
CLUBS which had held occasional meetings private
rooms in Cambridge at which beer and ale were
served with other refreshments. should be allowed
similar privileges in those rooms
These rooms are entirely distinct from the rest of
the CLUB, and persons not members of the club at
tending meetings In them not allowed access to
the other parts OF the house The recent action of
the trustees was merely permissiVe one provided
no improper use should be made of such liberty
and provided the of liquor was not associated
thereby with the general uses of the Union The
trustees OF the Union do not approve the use of
Intoxicating liquors by student organizations So
far the Union itself is concerned n ia a totaI
abstinence organization.

HAVANA SYNDICATE HAS BOUGHT A
SITE AND WILL PUT UP
PELOTA BUILDING.
PELOTA BUILDING.

A syndicate composed mostly Of Havana men,
has bought the block front in Central Park
West between Sixty second and Sixty-third sts'
to put UP on the site building to be devoted
exclusively TO the playing of game called pc
lota, or jai-alai. This is a game which is saie
be more popular in Spain and in Cuba thas
golf, baseball and horseracing are here. and
there are some large buildings in Havana built
specially for lovers of the game TO enjoy them
selves at their favorite pastime
About S1.000,O00 will be spent for the building
and property According to some of the oldest
living real estate and others in this city,
no such large sum of money was ever spent be-
fore to get the people of this city interested In
game of this character From people who have
played the game it is learned that it is con-
test that quickly attracts the fancy, and is
pleasing both to watch and TO play. They say
the Spanish speaking people of Havana would
consider it great loss if jai-alai, or pelota,
houses in Havana were closed. They further say
that among the most popular books in that city
are those that describe the expert plays in jail
alai, pelota, and that the telegraph messen-
ser boys of Havana have long ago given up
reading CORY tales for books on pelota.
These people are firmly of the opinion that
pelota will soon be a favorite game here. J. L.
De Sola of this city, is the head of the syndi
cate which has bought site for pelota house
in this city. The site has a frontage of about
20O3 feet in Central Park West, 225 feet in
Sixty -thrd-st. and 80 feet in Sixty -second-st
The owners of record of the property were
Justice P. Henry Dugro, Frank E. Work and
William Brennan. Justice Dugro sold plot
having a frontage in the avenue of 100 feet and
of $50 feet in Sixty-second-st.; Frank E. Work
a plot with frontage of 1908 feet in the ave-
nue. and 225 feet in Sixty-thrd-st. The plot
owned by William Brennan adjons in Sixty
second-st. the property owned by Justice Dugro,
and is 80 by 100 feet The property was bought
by the syndicate for about $500 900. The build
ing will have auditorium with seating ca
pacity Of six thousand.
Pelota is a game combining many of the
features of handball and basketball. 1t is
played by four. six eight players, with a
heavy but very lively ball. propelled by shield
or large strong glove, worn on the players right
hand, against a high wall, and caught by the
opponents at certain stages in a small light
basket.
