...Treadwell, Hall, St. John, N. E. Simms, Guy, Hopkins, Sears, Gage, Loomis, Herod and Gregory, '91, S. Besides these, N. McClintock, Poole, Root, Dalzell, and Dickerman, '91, S., are training with the University nine. The men are an unusually good set, and the competition for positions will he uncommonly close. F. C.

The contest for the medal for excellence on the horizontal bar will be very close. Men are daily practising on the rings and at tumbling. AS there are at present no rooms devoted to fencing and sparring, the contests in these branches are uncertain. The tug-of-war team are not working very hard, and the outlook for winning first prize at Mott Haven is indeed...
