WORCESTER, Jan. 2, 1888. There is a good prospect of the establishment of a new college for women in Worcester with a foundation of at least $1,000,000. Mayor Winslow in his inaugural address to-day, advocated the purchase by the city of land for a public park on Main street, opposite Clark University, at a cost of $34,000, accompanying the recommendation with these remarks: "I can only say now that the prospect is bright for a very large increase of our educational facilities, and that, too, in behalf of a sex which has not always been favored...

Any half-way attempt as, in case of our defeat, the sending of Yale across the Atlantic to row for this one season without any prospect of a renewal of the contest in after years, whould probably be profitless. But if an agreement between Yale and Harvard could be entered into whereby the winner of the race between them should be guaranteed funds sufficient for the international contest; and, on the other hand, if Oxford...
