of the directors of the Boston and
Maine railroad which was held here
yesterday, Charles S. Mellen, president
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road, was elected president
of the Boston and Maine to succeed
Lucius futile, resigned. This action
will bring about openly the consolida-

These stockholders want the Rostou

Ames, slippery group. Barbour,
Bliss, McClung and Mccormick, Yale,

gaining ground, while Williams, Os-

elusiveness in a broken field; so did

the Princeton quartet of 1898 was an

of four there have been brilliant pairs
of halfbacks, such as Osgood and Knipe,
