VINO on the laborers' roll; Robert Beale,
whose father was at one time sergeant-at-
arms of the Senate; George Hibbs and his
brother. Ed. Hibbs, and some others whose
names do not occur to me just at present.
This little manual of rules that was sent
from the Newark club was given to some
one whose heart was in the cause and a
sufficient number of manuscript copies
made to go among the original members,
and from that the boys learned the elemen-
tary system of playing the great game as
it was played in those days Every one
seems to think that the club held its meet
ings in the old Columbia Fire Engine Com
pany's house. They did meet there a little
while, but later on Jueneman, the brewer,
who was ardentiy interested in the sport
and was a friend of the boys, gave them a
room in his big hall free of rent, and they
used that for awhile as their council
chamber.
George Hibbs was the crack pitcher of
the club and Arthur German Gt seems
strange to speak of him as senator when
recalling his base ball days. was catcher.
The club at first had two mines and one
played against the other. Later on it had
four mines and great was the competition.

tracks. the yachts will be off
The finish will be across an imaginary
line due south Of the Lizard lghtship. The
committee under whose direction the race
will be started will be composed of Com
mander H. H. Hosley, U. S. N; Comman-
der H. G. Hebbinghaus, I. G. N; Oliver E.
Cromwell, Newbury D. Lawton, H. de s.
Parsons and Edward H. Wales, brother
in-law of former Secretary of War Elihu
Root, all of the New York Yacht Club.
The committee which will act as judges
at the finish will be made up as follows:
The Earl of Lonsdale. Sir Edward Birk-
beck and Captain Coerper, l. G. N.
The committee at the finish will have it's
tug off the Lizard Lghtship on May %,
ready for the business which has been as
signed to them.
There will be four prizes. The so-called
emperor's cup will go to the winner, and
the emperor has provided three other prizes
for the second, third and fourth boats.
Every effort will be made by the skipper
of each yacht to break the record, which
now stands at thirteen days, twenty hours
and thirty-six minutes, from Sandy Hook
to the Needles, which is held by the Endy-
mion.
The biggest boat in the race is the Val
halla, a full-rigged ship, owned by the Earl
Of Crawford. What little betting has been
done favors the Atlantic, with the Endy-
mion second choice and the Valhalla third.
With the exception of the Ailsa, which is
still being groomed in Hoboken, all of the
entering yachts were today af1oat and prac-
tically ready for the start. A few have
their perishable stores yet to take aboard,
but otherwise the week of overhauling in

There have been rumors that the AilSa was
suffering from leak in her hull, which
could not be repaired in time for the start
OF the race. This tale was branded as a
malicious fiction by her skipper, Captain
Bohlin. Within the last few days the stock
OF the Hamburg. the German boat has
risen considerably. Her German friends
have been talking her up to the skies.
Allison V. Armour of the American COM
mittee has been advised that the German
cruiser Pfeil will be stationed at the finish
line off the Lizard. Mr.. Armour will give
dinner tonight at Delmonico's to the COM
peting owners and invited guests Com
mander Hebbinghaus, naval attache at
washington, and the kaisers representa-
tive on the committee, will be the guest of
honor.
Great interest is being manifested in the
pig transatlantic race. The American
yachtsmen are going after the Gun in
great style, and If things do not go con-
trary to their expectations the cup is des-
tined to stay upon these shores for some
time to come. There are eleven yachts en-
tered in the race, and of this number eight
pelong to yachtsmen of this country two
are from England and one from Germany
The Valhalla and Sunbeam have been en-

There are records of nearly 250 match
games. of which the high school has won
about Co per cent.
In foot bail the school has always had
more than a local reputation. Since 1881 it
has had teams which have played in the
