It Is a projid day for American athletics ath-letics when Yale and Harvard can semi over a team of amateurs that can win six out of nine events from the best athletea that Oxford and Cambridge can put forward. The victory is such a decisive one that It i not likely the English universities will send over a team for a return contest. The victory Is not only a sweeping one, but it will no doubt bo allowed - to stand as a record.

The other said he was willing, provided he wero allowed to have a queen lying on the board. The 1 first agreed that ho should take it, and the bets wore on. At the show-down, the man who had asked for the queen showed four aces 'The other stared, and then blurted out, " What had that queen to do with that hand?".
