Concerning tho report that the Deep

to merge into one, Mr., W. ormond
Young, president Of tho Deep Run
Hunt Club. stated last night that the
only foundation for the story Is the

there has been some such movement,
but said that the three clubs are far
Their apart now on the question than
they ever have been.
No action has been taken In the mat
ter, but it is said that various tndi-
viduals, members OF the several CIV bs,
are anxious for merger, Mr.. Levin
Joynes, president Of the Lakeside Club,
also stated that there is, at present,
no definite idea of combining the
three.

the only way Sullivan could get Gard

Gardner was a disappointment to the
spectators at Jim Jeffries's new club,
Just outside of Los Angeles. Sullivan
had lead on Gardner almost from the
start, but he contented himself with
standing off and constantly jabbing
Jimmy, never trying to go in and mix
II up hard with him at any stage of the
contest.

brief remarks and announcements as
to appointments and work of the next

open to the public.
New Reception Building.
The registration for rooms on the
part of prospective new students is
three times as large now as it has ever
been before at this stage of the ses-
sion. so that a very full class of matri
cuiates may be expected in September.
Therefore, the need for the new re-
factory building is becoming more ur-
gent every day. II is understood that
the people of Richmond have sub
scribed about $4,000 or $4,000 of the
$4,000 needed to erect this building.
These subscriptions are payable in an
nual instruments for five years. There
are many other friends of the institu-
ton in Richmond who have not yet
subscribed to the fund, but who will
do SO as the opportunity Is given to
them, and /. is hoped that within the
next few weeks sufficiently large
proportion Of the requisite $4,000 will
be in sight to Justify the building COM
mittee, Of which Mr. s. II. Halves is
chairman, in proceeding at once with
the erection of the building.
Two Arc Appointed.
The ladies of the Second Presbyterian
IL - ;ot. a
bers of that congregation some years
ago raised $4,000 for the establish
ment Of fellowship of postgraduate
study as a memorial of their late
pastor. the Rev. Moses D. Hoge, D. D..
one of the most distinguished of the
graduates OF Union Seminary; and this
fellowship, with it's salary, is awarded
annually by the faculty to some mem
Der of the graduating class on the
ground Of distinguished merit and ex-
ceptional promise Of efficiency in min
isterial work. The first fellow appoint
ed on this foundation was the Rev.
James Gray McAllister. D. D., now presi-
dent of Hampd en-Sldney College. others
since appointed are the Rev. Eugene c..
Caldwell now professor in the Theo-
logical Seminary of Austin, Tex. and
the Rev Warren Fl. Stuart, a mission
airy in China, who is supported In that
field by Or. Cectls church. The gradu-
ating class this year. Is so large. and
contains so much excellent material,
that it has been the pleasure of the
faculty to appoint two of It's brightest
and most promising members on the
Moses D. Hoge Fellowship Foundation
for next year. Mr.. Samuel McPheeters
Glasgow, of Lexington, Va, an A. b.
graduate of Washington and Lee Uni
versity; and Mr.. William Waddell Ar
rowood, of Glover. S. c.. an a. B. gradu-
ate of Davidson College Both of these
gentlemen will. with their classmates,
receive the degree of bachelor of di-
vinity on the closing day of the pres
.ent session, will be in charge of
churches during the summer, and will
then return to the seminary In the fall
] for year of post graduate study.
