pARLOR TENNIS AND GOLF.

Is if possible that some ebb has set in from
the flood tide of enthusiasm for golf, and that
there is a considerable number of men ana
women who were formerly impassioned devo-
tees of the links but who have forsworn their
old allegiance, and have surrendered to the
destinations of tennis, both of the outdoor ana
indoor kinds the tennis of the lawn and the
tennis of the table, the latter the alluring ping
pong? 1t is evident that notable abandon
ments of the cleeks and the caddies have taken
Mace here and there. the ex-golfers excusing
their OBJECTIONS with signs of lassitude, and
finding fault with the long and weary Journeys
over the hills and far away which are neces-
sary to meet the full measure of duty at golf
Charles Lambs venerable friend Mrs. Battle
demanded well swept hearth, brisk open
fire and the rigor of the game when she played
whist. Possibly some of the champions or the
tees have been a little too exacting in imposing
the rigor of the game at golf and nave aiieha'-
ed few faint hearted followers who fall short
of the stubborn persistence and resolution vi

Sturdy and strong and indomitable are the
Sc0tchmen Who surpasS them in courage
who can wear them down by superior endur-
ance? They never give up fight until the
last armed foe expires in the battles OF sports
or the actual desperate struggles with the
shotted guns. Many of the brawny sons OF
Scotia look on parlor tennis ping pong as
TOO frivolous and trivial for their swelling
thews and sinews. They speak of it with dis
dain as n game fit only for little lads and las
sizes. But parlor tennis holds It's own neFerthe-

feature in the field of present day sports.

HIGH SCHOOL AND FREIGHT YARD.

More than year ago The Tribune exclusively
outrage perpetrated by the Tammany admins
tration in purchasing for the city unsuitable
Mot of ground upon which to build the new
Richmond Borough High School The land had
belonged to a local Tammany boss and it was
matter of common fame that he had unloaded
II upon the city at a great profit. Aside from
this phase of the transaction the site itself, as
shown by photographs published in The Tribune
at the time was totally unfit for the purpose of
q high school, in view of the fact that it was
directly facing and within fifty feet of the
freight and shunting yards of railroad ter
minal The tumult and ncessant din of these
wards had already driven away every resident
from the street on which the site lay, and this
thorouChfare had been long abandoned to troll
lev tracks and saloons. Despite the exposure
made in The Tribune. and despite a manifest
alarm created among the better citizens of
Staten Island the city advanced blindly into
the trap. and last September actually began
operations for erecting the high school
Not till the new administration came in on
January l. was there the slightest Indication
that the Board Of Education had given the
matter any thought.
Suddenly in February there was n sign, of
interest The committee on sites were seen TO
move and it became known that they had
visited st. George and were pancstricken at
the wretched prospect of placing a beautiful
high school practically in a freight yard Until

COITNBI4'S NEW PRESIDENT.

The installation of a new president over
university is a matter of more THAI academic
or local interest 1t is invested with such in
terest in high degree, wherefore it was ap-
propriate that the students and instructors of
Columbia should lead the procession in yester-
DAVIS festivities on Morningside Heights, that
representatives of other institutions Of learning
should follow numerously, and that the people
of this city should look on, actually or meta
phorically with sympathetic and admiring con-
Germ The welfare of the university depends
largely upon the man who is its executive head
lin which particular our universities differ
widely from those Of European lands The
progress Of higher education in all institutions
is affected more less by the administra-
ton of each head of a university. Assuredly
the civic pride and the intellectual growth Of
this community are so largely bound up in the
institution which has long been one of this
city's chief seats of learning that every public
spirited citizen must feel a personal solicitude
for the success Of whatever man is placed at
the head of that university. 1t was no exag-
geration Of the Importance of the occasion that
at yesterdays function were present the Mayor
and other high officers of this city and an i'm
posing array of academic dignitares including
representatives of the other great university
which is seated here of Harvard at the East of
Leland Stanford at the West, and of scores OF
those that lie between these extremes.
But as we have said. the incident meant more
than that 1t was significant of national in
terests and of worldwide sympathies. The
university OF to-day. if il fufls Alright its duty
is more than congeries of schools of arts and
sciences. II is a school OF human life. Its
students taught how TO live, in the higher
sense OF the word. They made men of
thought and men OF action too. They are
taught things from the books, and they are
also taught how 10 apply those things 10 the
concrete achievements or practical life They
not made recuses, but rather made to
touctthe world at many points possible.
and at every point with benefit to the world.
