UNIVERSITIES TO*MEET,

a gymnastic event which has ex-
cited ninth comment and attract-
ed an unusual amount of interest.
Yale and the University of Penn-
sylvania will coiue together in a

CRKBDON TO FIGHT COVERT.
Dallas, Tfx.J Feb, 8.—A twenty
round fight between Dan Creedon
of New York, and Harry Covert
of Chicago, will be pulled off to-
night at the Olympia Club to-

Boston, Feb. 8.—Work on the
Lawson boat is progressing fav-
orably. Designer Crovinshield
seems to have bent his effort*
toward making this new cup de-
fender as easv to drive as the old
Columbia of 1803 and yet able to
develop more power through an
increase of sail. The develop-
ment of the two boats is nearly
identical, about 145 tons. The
Lawsyn boat will be longer on
t
deck especially in the forward
overhanging, which is 27 feet 6
inches, the longest ever given to a
cup defender. The beam is 3 1-2
feet narrower than the Columbia
The Lawson boat will doubtless
*
be lighter than the Columbia and
will have almost 2000 square feet
more sail, or about 14,500 feet.
From stip to masthead the Law-
men boat's mast will measure 118
feet, which is 8 feet more than
the Columbia. The building of
it excites great interest here.

Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. <s.—'I lie
Syracuse Chamber of Commerce
has been singularly fortunate in
securing for its annual banquet
tonight the presence of Gov.
Odeli. This is the first formal
public visit outside of Albany
made by the governor and his in-
auguration. This evening's event
it is believed, will eclipse all pre-
vious functions or the body. In
view of the coming of Gov. Odell
'a change has been made in the
arrangements. An afternoon
business sossion will be held to be
addressed by the mayors of the
four second class cities of the
fttate. Each mayor is expected to
relate his experience under the
*4White Charter."

iron clad regulation is being en-
forced to the effect that hereafter
