              gymnasts of both colleges of equal calibre in a most interesting dual meet on saturday evening mar 4th the gym team from rutgers suc ceeded in holding our boys to an even break a moderately large crowd consisting principally of le high undergraduates witnessed the meet and certainly were treated to an exceptional contest bley lehigh's captain was the leading point winner for his team taking a first on the horizontal bars and second in club swinging capt i enszey of the opposing team was likewise a place winner taking one first on the flying rings three times during the meet the score was tied and at no time did either team appear to have any marked advantage the giving in the last event of second place to silvers of rutgers appeared to be the only decision disappointing to many in the crowd but it is very unlikely that favoritism had been shown bailey took a first in this event tumbling and did excellent work too on the parallel bars and side horse in the former a very unfortunate fall was doubtless the cause of his failing to take another place white of rutgers also did excellent work on the parallel bars and missed a score by a very nar row margin the score follows plorizontal bars bley lehigh 5 points ; anderson rutgers 3 points side horse white rutgers 5 ! taasis rutgers 3 club swinging nelson rutgers 5 ; bley lehigh 3 parallel bars

rector of the flood commission of pittsburg the subject was:—"pa triotism of peace save the for ests and store the floods the first principle that shows the relation of forests to humanity is that where there are no trees there will be no water where there is no water there are no crops and where there are no crops there will be no people this question of forestry and the relation it bears to the nation should be taken up by the educational institutions and the proper cultivation of land and the preservation of forests should be taught just as carefully as the pro per production of steel etc as a specific instance of the prin ciple no trees no water no crops no people the speaker referred to the daily papers which are giving accounts of great famine and plague in china due to this one
