The Executive Council of the New York
University Athletic Association has an
nounced that it has planned to open a.
general discussion among the students and
alumni OF the institution concerning the
plans for the new gymnasium that is 10
be built this spring. SO far only general
sketch of the future building has been
made and the council feels that many new
and valuable ideas as to the final arrange
ment OF the interior could be gotten from
this source
1t is planned to break ground for tho
gymnasium building in the late spring and
have IL in readiness for the opening or
college next fall. The building is 10 be
memorial to the four score students OF
the Violet College who died on the field
of battle during the recent war, and is

TIMELY GOSSIP
OF HORSE SHOWS
More Than S25O,OOO Raised
for Charity Through Ex-
bitionS.
EXPANSION AT SYRACUSE
New AmphitheaTe and Show Ring
Costing s5oo,ooo Planned, with
TwoWeek Fair.

The report Of the president, Reginald e.
Vanderbilt. at the annual meeting in the
Fillmore on Tuesday will disclose the
fact that members of the Association of
American Horse Shows have through the
medium of their exhibitions raised more
than quarter of a million dollars for the
benefit of the American Red Cross and
kindred charities since the United States
went to war with Germany. While the
amount donated last year was not up to
that of the preceding year, when the war
was going on it was still upwards of
100000. which is quite as remarkable and
creditable under the circumstances as
the s132,497.56 which Mr.. Vanderbilt re-
ported for the season of 1918. 1t would be
difficult and it might be impossible to
name another branch of sport in which so
many associations contributed SO large a
part of their receipts for public welfare
work. Almost without exception the horse
shows gave their entire profits, and in
more than one case the officers helped to
swell the apparent profits by paying part
of the expenses out of their own pockets,
while the National Horse Show Associa-
ton capped the climax by giving it's en-
tire gross receipts, Judge William Fl.
Moore generously paying all the expenses.
Horsemen who attended the recent meet
ing of the Grand Circuit stewards at SYRIA
cuse came home with the report of ambi-
tious plans for the future of horse shows as
well as harness racing in connection with
the New York State Fair. 1t is said that
vast amphtheatre and show ring cost
ing more than half a million dollars is to
be constructed for the exhibition of horses
and other live stock, and that the fair
next year will continue two weeks, begin
ming on Labor Day. Such an arrangement
Of dates might cause rather serious COM
picatons, for Labor Day is now the open
ing day Of the great horse show at
Rochester and of the Grand Circuit trot-
ting meeting at Hartford.
Lieutenant J. Macy Willets reports a
score of entries already in hand for the
Hackney Futurity recently announced in
connection with the Devon Horse Show.
Nominations will not close until next
Saturday. The class is for registered foals
Of 1919 to be shown in hand as two-year-
olds at the exhibition of 1921. Pony bred
haclxneys as well as horses are eligible,
and if enough should come in the class will
futurity an annual event at Devon and
eventually close the entries before the
colts are foaled, as in other futuriues.

ARMY AND NAVY CONFER
ON PROTECTIVE MEASURES

A secret conference was held here
late Yesterday afternoon on the
alarming conditions in Mexico be-
tween officials of the Navy and State
Departments. Admiral r. f. Coontz,
aide for operation of the Navy De-
partment, and officers of his stan
took part in the deliberations.
After the meeting Admiral Coontz
and, In fact, all the conferees-de-
elined to say anything about the
matter, but 1t was learned that the
gathering became necessary because
OF overnight developments in Mex
leo. -,
The primary object of the meeting
was to agree upon plans for the
safeguarding of Americans at the
Mexican ports and in the interior.
one Of the officials said this would
mean the immediate dispatch of
more naval vessels to the ports east
and west in Mexico.
So far the ships on guard are
the Salem, the destroyer Mccauley
and the small gunboat Sacramento
which has been keeping an eye on
the oil fields. at the distance of
Tampico.
Expect Trouble I'm OIL Fields.
Reports have reached the Navy
Department that there is likely to
be. trouble In the oil fields at the
city of Tampico. at Mazatlan on
the west coast, at Vera Cruz. and
even In the capital of the country.
There are more Americans in the
capital or federal district than
there are In any Of tho states of
Mexico. =
1t has been determined. accord
ing to oNone Of the Authorities, that
there shall be no fighting at ports
which shah endanger American
lives. IT Is said. that Ii Americans
demand it--fop Instance, at Vera
Cruz = sailors and Marines would
be landed for the immediate protec-
tion of any American citizens who
would be caught In the melee.
