tenor of which was that the Diaz gov

for peace and grant many of the de-
mands of the revolutionists
This message, states Senior Gomez,
comes to him indirectly, although he
has every reason TO believe that it is
sanctioned by the authorities at the
City of Mexico. He regards it as a
proof that the gains of the revolution

been shown in the press dispatches al

in any way and denied also the claims
of the iunta members that the situa-

revolutionary cause.

Charlottesville, Va, February s.
The remainder Of Virginia's track
schedule for this season has been an
nounced by Manager Cecil. Only two
more indoor meets remain-the Johns
Hopkins Fifth Regiment meet at Bal
timore next Saturday. and the George
town meet on March 4. Virginia Will
be represented Saturday by only five
men-Captein Holiday. Todd, Brig
ham, Berkeley and Harris--but Trainer
Lannigan thinks that this quintet VIII
be enough to make 1t more than inter
esting for any other institution repre-
scnted.
The Georgetown meet on March 1
will be the chief indoor event OF the
year. Pop" Lannigan will take along
a large squad, and he fully expects to
bring back the cup with him. Inc
banner event OF the meet will be one
mile relay race between Virginia and
Georgetown. With the fine bunch Of
material that Trainer Lannigan has to.
pick from, the four is expected to up
hold the standard set by former Viz
ginia relay teams.
Manager Cecil has arranged two big
attractions for Easter week. There
will be triangular meet between
Pennsylvania, Dartmouth and Virginia
on Thursday, April 90. This will be
the first appearance Of Dartmouth's
track team In the South and PENIS
second. Both arc represented by strong
teams this year. and the meet Will be
one worth going far to see. The other
event is the annual Southern intercol-
legiate meet. Georgetown George
Washington. Hopkins, Clemson. North
Carolina, Virginia and several other
universities will he represented.
The last meet OF the season will be
the dual meet with Johns Hopkins at
Baltimore on May IL. These meets are
always holly contested, and as Hopkins
has n stronger team than usual this
year II is very probable that the final
count viii be closer than ever be FIRE.
