College Cannot House the Freshman
Glass.

Hanover, n. H., Sept 26.-With the
opening Of Dartmouth college today. a
large number Of freshmen who have com
piled with the college entrance require
ments win be notified b. the authori,
ties that, owing to lack Of rooming
and boarding facilities, 1t will not be
possible for them to enter Dartmouth
this fall.
The exact number Of the class which
Is to enter is not known, but IL IL now
thought that the college can aeeommo.
date S75 of those who have applied for
entrance.
Between 425 and 500 new students
have enrolled with the class OF 1911, but
these who last registered will not be
allowed their matrieulation papers.
The college this year increased their
rooming facilities by the opening Of
three new dormitories and the opening
Of an old dormitory. which had not been
used during the past two years. In
this way 210 more students than last
year can be accommodated.
The rooming places IN private families
in the town are ali filed with the many
students Of Dartmouth's graduate schools
and there is little relief In that direc-
tion.

DecIination Of His Challenge
by N. I. Yacht Club
WILL NOT PREVENT RACE
British Sporting Blood Is Aroused and a
Ninety-Footer VIII Be Built to
Race for the Americas
Cup.

London, Sept. 26.- Despite the New
York Yacht clubs refusal to consider
Lipton's challenge, there will be race
in 1908, if the British sporting element
can arrange one. Sir Thomas was not
available this morning, but his closest
adviser and contidant said: "This pre-
iminary refusal of a challenge causes
no surprise. In fact, we rather expected
ii. However, Il we can secure Just the
slightest concession from the New York
Yacht club, we are yelling to race. and
we can build a ninety footer Just as
easily as we can sixty eight footer.
Sir Thomas hopes the American yachts
men will recognize this fact. The Royal
Yacht club, we are willing to race, and
tions with the New Workers for a modi-
iication OF the rules, and we have every
hope we will succeed. The English
speaking sportsmen, without regard to
nationality, are anxious for race"
The general feeling among London
yaehtsmen Is that there will be fourth
Shamrock, and that race win be best
for boat with all the time allowances
barred.
AT his country house this afternoon.
Sir Thomas Upton declared he could not
say what his future course would be
until he received the complete text Of
the American refusal Il am disap-
pointed" he said "The New York
Yacht club has always been very good
friends. Hitherto I have been refused
nothing, and ii is evident that the new
rules have caused a declination. | had

with real boats, manned by crack crews
and shippers But if the New Yorl,
Yacht club wants me TO race with a
ninety-footer, win of course do 50. I
will not, however, ever race again with
a boat built under the old rules, which
resulted in the construction Of freaks
like the former Shamrocks." Upton has
already telegraphed to Designer Fife to
come here for consultation regarding
plans for new boat.
