But for Oxford and Cambridge to accept a challenge from the multiple universities of the intercollegiate association of America is a very different thing and one which the Oxonians and Cantabs, for various reasons, are quite justifled in declining."

CLINTON, May 20-The grand bazar of Co K. 9th regiment, which has been in progress at the armory for three days, concluded last night with a ball.

At the armory the guards were received by a reception committee of the honorary members of the company and well entertained. The fair was then opened and did a business until 10 o'clock, when the hall was cleared and Capt Cannon inguards. After a brief address by Capt troduced a Capt Moynihan of the Emmet Moynihan, the guards gave an exhibition drili, which was appreciated by the audience. The entertainment was concluded with solos by Thomas Haley. The fair resulted in a net gain of over $1000 to the company treasury.
The company entertained as guests the town officials and a large number of military men. Delegations were present from Worcester, Leominster, Fitchburg, Ayer, Lancaster, Hudson and Marlboro. The committee in charge of ball were: Marshal, Capt P. J. Cannon; floor director, Lieut M.

Disarmament Relegated to Third Place in Program. Outline of Work at Czar's Peace Conference. Thirty-Five Minute Session Today at the Hague. Delegates Take a Recess to Give Committees Time. THE HAGUE, May 20-The second sitting of the peace conference took place this morning, and lasted 35 minutes.
The president, Baron de Staal, read the replies of the czar and Queen Wilhelmina to the telegrams sent to them by the conference on Thursday. The president then addressed the delegates on the subject of the labors before them, and it was decided not to publish the speech. Later the president proposed the adoption of arrangements for the committees, which was agreed to without discussion. Baron De Staal further proposed that, although the principle of secrecy should be maintained, communications might be made through the press bureau, subject to the approval of the president. This was also adopted.
At the conclusion of the conference today, De Staal, Sir Julian tote and Ambassador Andrew D. White, head of the American delegation, with several of the other chief delegates, returned to The Hague for lunch, but Bourgecis, former premier of France and head of the French delegation, and almost all the second and technical delegates, who form part of the committees, remained at the "house in the woods" to draw up certain lists. They were cecupied also with the organization of the committees. The proceedings today passed off without any incident. Only the president spoke, the others manifesting their approbation by slight, discreet mur.
murs. Several of the chief delegates are leaving The Hague for a few days pending the preliminary work of the committees. It was learned during the day that De Staal placed the question of mediation and arbitration in the fore. front during his speech today. The question of laws rendering war as humane as possibly by the extension of the regulations already existing, was then touched upon by the president, and he relegated the question of the reduction of the armaments to the third place.
The indication modifies the order ih which the three points were placed in the circular of the minister of foreign affairs, Count Muravoeff, but it has the merit of responding more closely to the view of the delegates, and it is now considered certain that mediation and arbitration will have the chief place in the work of the conference. Further, the opinion is unanimous that the American and British delegates will take the most important part in the study of this question. The conference decided today that all delegates, including the technical representatives, are to participate in the sittings and join in the discussions. date of the next sitting has not yet been fixed. It depends upon the progress which will be made by the committees.
De Staal announced today that the government of the Netherlands would give an artistic fete on June 16 in honor of the conference. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. E. V. Sumner Relief Corps Celebrated at Fitchburg Last Evening.

MAP SHOWING EXETER STREET RAILWAYS HAMPTON Within the past few weeks progress in the censolidation of the electric railways of eastern Massachusetts has been made quietly, but effectively. The Massachusetts electric companies, as the new combination is to be known, 1s in extent the largest electric railway system in the world.
The plans have so far matured that it is now possible to give the public some idea of the magnitude of the consolidation. the system stands today, the new company is in possession of more than double the mileage of the Boston elevated railway company. The system is divided into two great parts, one north and the other south of Boston. In the northern division there are lines covering the entire North shore as far as Pigeon cove on cape Ann, with a line running north from Essex to Ipswich. Another subdivision of tHis northern division takes in the lines as far north as Billerica, Tewksbury, Lowell and Nashua, while the line down the Merrimac valley from Lowell to Lawrence, Haverhill and Newburyport has also been taken into the system.
Southward from Boston, the system runs from connecting points of the Boston elevated railway company to QuinCy, Brockton, Taunton, Fall River and Newport, with branches diverging to New Bedford and Providence, while on the southwest it includes the towns of Hyde Park, Dedham, Norwood and East Walpole, and Needham on the west. Several of the new lines under construction in eastern Massachusetts are already embraced in the system, and BEACHMONT. The Revere yacht club dedicated its new home at Short beach last evening, some 200 friends and guests participating in the festivities. The balcony sides at the front entrance were completely hidden by apple blossoms, while the hall was a glare of electric lights scattered among potted ferns, palms and choice plants. The beams were covered with bunting, while from the center of roof hung folds of bunting and flags stretching to all points of the room.
The stairs leading to the hall were converted into a passage way of huge palms, while the lower hall, which was turned over to the men for a smoking room, was also handsomely decorated. Promptly at 8 Com Young called the party to order, and after a selection by the orchestra, Mr George H. Littlefield, on behalf of the board of directors, under whose supervision the building was constructed, in a short speech, presented the commodore with the keys, formally turning the house over to the club. Com Young accepted the keys and the building for the club members, and thanked the members of the committee and others who had assisted them in erecting so cozy and comfortable a home. Interspersed with songs, violin and cornet solos and readings, dancing was begun at 9, and continued until midnight.
At 10.36, during a short intermission, refreshments were served. The exercises were in charge of Messrs George J. Connolly, Bruno Hartung, Walter White, Joseph Rankin and Warren Greene, the latter gentleman personally arranging the decorations. Among the gifts to the club was a handsomely framed engraving of Dewey's flagship Olympia from Mrs A. W.

Challenge for Harvard and Yale. Steamer Paris Sails With It Today. Program is Regular English List. No Provision Made for Putting the Shot.
Half-Mile Run is Substituted for This Event. Every Contestant Must Be a Student. Events to be Held in London, Last Week in July. LONDON, May 20-The American line steamer Paris, which sails for New York today from Southampton, takes a challenge from Oxford and Cambridge universities to the universities of Yale and Harvard for an athletic contest to take place on the ground the Queen's club, London, during the last week in July. The program eonsists of the following 100-yard dash, 120-yard hurdle race, quarter-mile run, half-mile run, three-mile run, hammer throwing, high jump, long jump.
This is the regular Oxford and Cambridge program, with a half-mile run substituted for putting the weight, to the new rules of which event the English university men are not yet accustomed. The challenge rigidly insists that every American opponent must, like themselves, be absolutely a student, and absolutely an amateur athlete. From the communications already exchanged, there is little doubt that the challenge will be accepted. meeting will be a great attraction at the close of London season, more especially if the presence of the prince of Wales, the ambassador, Mr Joseph Choate, and Lord Rosebery is secured, as is already stated to be the case. The university men here who have the matter chiefly at heart, including members of both teams, most anxious for the match.
They feel that the proposal sent to the United States is a very sportsmanlike offer, and they are confident it will be welcome. The Englishmen point out that SO far as the Americans are concerned they know their own strength and the strength of their rivals, as revealed by the Oxford and Cambridge sports in March, but that they, the challengers, are ignorant of what their opponents may have succeeded in accomplishing in intercollegiate sports. This, they say, bodes nothing but good, and a most genuine match with the most genuine desire that the best side may win. The feeling of both the English universities was expressed in an interview with a representative of the Associated Press by one to whom more than others is due the present challenge. He said: "Hitherto many attempts have been made to bring about an international match between the American universities and Oxford and Cambridge, but latter have steadily declined for the very sufficient reason that Oxford and Cambridge have always felt that the state of affairs in athletics in the United States was extremely not to say unhealthy, corresponding with the conditions of professional football in England.
"The English universities, being the leaders in English athleticism, did not care to responsible for reintroducing the regretable state of affairs which prevailed when the New York athletic club encountered and defeated the London club, occasion when paid athleticism in both ranks was all too thinly veiled, to the infinite discredit of both parties to the unholy contract. That our criticism was true was proved by the course of events subsequent to that meeting. Several of the so-called amateur athletes on both sides have since been disqualified as professionals. This is as it should be. But, surely it was never right, in the pinion of right minded men, that these same professionals should have been known for a long time before to hove been anything but amateurs, and should have been conveniently whitewashed by the process of unscientific opportunities to parade as selected amateurs.
"Further difficulties arose from the ambiguous status of American students, who were known to be neither really students nor really amateurs, but who were merely valuable articles imported for the occasion required into certain American universities, and were there maintained in publico sumptu. "But good heads and hearts have been hard at work, and in the most important quarters an amelioration has set 111. Consequently the English universities, Oxford and Cambridge, have felt that they may now safely challenge the picked universities of America. and in accordance with the feeling, which is based on authoritative assurance from across the Atlantic, the challenge has been sent. "For Oxford and Cambridge, the leading universities of Great Britain, to challenge Harvard and Yale, the leadins universities of America, is one thing Police Show What They Can Do if Ordered.
Pres York Called All Officers to Headquarters. Most There-Toid to Make Patrolmen Act. To All Appearances Orders Were Carried Out. GamblingHouses Locked--Pool Rooms Closed Today. NEW YORK, May 20-The town was "dead shut" last night.
For the first time since the Mazet committee began work there was visible evidence that the police department was taking it in earnest. "Follow the crowd," the familiar rule for finding the location of pool rooms, will not be good today. They will elther be closed entirely, or will do business with so much caution and secrecy that only case-hardened betters will trouble them. As for the gambling houses, which have been doing business winter with so open a countenance, they' were hermetically sealed last last night; the doors were locked, the keys "thrown down the well." All this strange and uncomfortable state of affairs was due, it is said, to a meeting behind closed doors at police headquarters. The captains, inspectors and deputy chiefs were all ordered to be present, and most of them were there.
A sharp address was delivered Pres York. The officers were given to underpun stand that the law must be enforced, and to all appearances the orders were carried out. Chief Devery had had a talk with the earlier in the day, and told them they must do better or there would be trouble. The gamblers and poolroom men blame Commissioner Jacob Hess for their present trouble, on account of the statements which he made on the witness stand. The effect of the Mazet committee was noticeable in "tenderloin," nearly all of the "garespecially, and "smoking parlors" were run with what almost approached decorum, and the majority of them closed up entirely soon after midnight.
Proprietor Ed Corry of the Haymarket refused to stop his music and daneing when ordered to do so by detective Curry at 12.30 this morning and was arrested.

The system practically covers all of the territory into which it enters, without competition, and serves a population of a million people, exclusive of Boston, which is reached by connecting lines on both the north and south. It covers not only a district including the best manufacturing cities, business towns and villages in eastern Massachusetts, but a country famous for its historic associations and scenic beauty -factors which induce a large amount of "pleasure travel." Naturally, the chief purpose of the consolidation was to build up a system which could be operated more economically, and serve the public better than the multiplicity of existing street railway lines. In the operation and maintenance of the system great savings are possible by centralizing the engineering force. The same is true of departments of road repair and maintenance of way, but the public will be benefited as well by the increased service.
Better connections will be made under the new arrangement and longer runs will be possible. The new company now owns and operates over 600 miles of track and have some 50 miles under construction. During the past year 17,621,522 car miles were run, carrying 69,767,439 passengers, employing 2200 men and operating 1240 cars. The operation of the different roads, except perhaps where they can be more advantageously combined, will be under local officials. No such consolidation was ever known in this country before.

Phillips Andover academy students celebrated the "night before" the class game, which takes place today, in the usual manner, r. cutting up all sorts of pranks. In some cases the students went beyond bounds, throwing eggs at passing pedestrians, painting fences, etc.
Some went so far as to tear away the steps in front of a store, and start to burn them. Principal Bancroft appeared on the scene at the opportune time, and announced that if the fire was started there would be no class game today.
