WE regret to learn that, after several weeks of consideration, Yale has decided not to accept our challenge to a joint Athletic Meeting in the spring. The idea seemed one which, if it had been carried out, would have succeeded in putting the track athletics of both colleges on a firm basis, and consequently we cannot too deeply deplore the unfavorable reply of our sister college. The zeal of our athletes must not be relaxed in any way, however, as we still have to defend our claim to the championship cup, and we shall need quite as much careful preparation for this as would be necessary, if the athletic men from New Haven were willing to meet us. We hope, at least, that Yale will have sufficient enterprise to send some representatives to Mott Haven; and sometime in the future, when she has gained a little more confidence, we shall hope to be able to arrange the annual meetings which she is at present so loath to undertake.
