CORNELL UNIVERSITIES
new ATHLETIC FIELD

ITHACA, N. Y, January 5.-There has
been sent out to Cornell alumni statement
regarding Alumni Field. which is in process
of construction at Ithaca. "Of the area set
aside for playground purposes by the trus-
tees, a portion about AT feet by 800 feet.
comprising about seven and half acres
about equivalent to the whole Percy Field,
has been graded to a level surface and
furnished with necessary drainage" says
the statement. -
I'm executing this work approximately
40 900 cubic yards of earth and hardpan
have been moved at cost of $12, 60S.-5 for
grading and So, 524.37 for engineering serv-
ices, drainage pipes, manholeS and cutters,
top dressing, fertilizing, seeding and incl
dentals; making q total expended on the
playground, as completed and delivered to
the board of trustees. of S14, 1851 Al
though this amount is So. 1881 in excess or
the maximum amount agreed upon with the
trustees the committee in charge of this
work has deemed it essential to fully carry
out the spirit of the agreement entered in
to, namely, the grading of a playground Of
which all Cornell men will be proud
Referring to the varsity field the report
SAYS: by the end of the present year an
area about 739 feet, average width, by 1856
feet in length, comprising over twenty
three acres, or about three times the area
of Percy Field, will have been rough graded
ready for finished grading and seeding,
which latter will probably be deferred until
spring, after the made ground has had
time to thoroughly settle. In executing this
work about 10000 cubic yards of earth will
have been moved, at cost for grading,
drainage. engineering, top dressing, fer
tilizing, seeding and incidentals, now esti-
mated not to exceed $4,000. The actual
cost of this work TO August l, 1906, has
been approximately SIT, 600.
Due to the fact that in the grading of
this larger area the cuts have not been so
heavy nor the material encountered so diff
ficult the case in the playground, 1t
has been possible, as will be seen by the
above figures to reduce the unit cost of
this latter work. After the grading of the
above area has been completed there will
still remain ungraded for general athletic
purposes an area 100 feet by S24 feet, COM
prising over twelve and half acres The
total area available for general varsity
athletics. in addition to the playground and
three-fourthS acres, or about four times
the area of the present Percy Field"

DATA TO BE COLLECTED
AS TO YACHT CONSTRUCTION

LONDON, January 5-The scantling
question has been troubling yaehtsmen for
a long time and many schemes have been
devised to compel yachtsmen to build good
stanch boats, but as long as there are no
restrictions in the regular classes there
will always be found wealthy men who
will have a lightly constructed craft built
which, when it's racing career is ended, will
be good for the junk heap. These men
consequently have a great advantage over
the boat that is built to be serviceable, and
the man who could afford the lightly con-
structed boat consequently has the advan-
taee in racing On this side many one
design classes have been built under certain
scantling rules, and in the small classes in
the United States rules have been framed
that have worked very well. Now the
matter is to be gone into in a systematic
way on both sides of the Atlantic. A COM
mittee is to collect all the data possible,
and in Europe a rule has been framed
which is to be announced very soon.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR THE
COSTLY ROCKINGHAM PARK

MANCHESTER, N. H, January 1.-The
million dollar race track in New Hamp-
shire, known as Rockingham Park, where
betting was prohibited last summer and the
inaugural meeting there under the direc-
ton of the New England Breeders Club
was failure, is causing more trouble. The
contractors who built the stands and track
have just attached the property as part Of
a suit against the owners to recover $4,000
as balance due the contract. Judging
from the attitude of the New Hampshire
authorities the track will not be opened
again for a long time, If ever The men who
, sank a fortune in the venture from all ac-
counts had the situation in the Granite
state misrepresented to them otherwise
they would not have invested a dollar in
such a fy-by might scheme. The expert
ence Of the promoters of the Providence
meeting should have been conclusive proof
that New England was not a good field
for thoroughbred racing with betting ad-
Junct.

Foot Ball Receipts Fell Off.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, January 5.-The
foot ball receipts of the University of Wis
consin during the season just closed
amounted to about one-eighth of what they
have in previous years. The total receipts
were $43S6.20, as against $4,000 for the
preceding season The largest amount re-
ceived from any single game was 81 ,063. 20,
the contest with the University of Illinois.
The next best game financially was that
with the University of Iowa, which netted
Wisconsin $1,045.6 60. The total disburse-
ments for the season were S2,6751S. The
big falling off in the receipts was due to
the decreased interest caused by the abol-
ishment of games with the other large uni
versities of the middle west and the adop-
ton of other reforms.

Uechtritz. one of the stewards of the
Hungarian Jockey Club. and the leading
authority on racing In that country. The
rupture between Herr Won Pechy and
Milne. who had trained for him during
many years past as well as for Baron
Uechtritz. caused considerable comment at
the time. but the fact of Baron Uechtritz
having declined to make any change in his
actual ARRANGEMENTS for the training of his
horses leads to the probable conclusion that
there must have been some mutual misun
Outstanding between owner and trainer,
which may probably be smoothed over in
time. Milne has had plenty of patronage
and Count Henckel has sent him his horses
so that perhaps as public trainer and with
unfettered hands he will have no cause to
regret the past.
