In reply to our correspondent, whose communication we publish this morning, we would say that the facts as far as we can learn are as follows in regard to the foot ball championship. The regular convention is held a week after the Thanksgiving game, and at this meeting the championship is decided. This year, however, Captain Richards was so severely injured that he feared, if he once went back to New Haven, he would be unable to return to New York within a month at the least. He accordingly requested the delegates, all of whom were then in New York, to have a special meeting immediately after Thanksgiving, in place of the regular meeting. To this of course the delegates willingly consented, the meeting was held, and the question of the championship was decided, i. e., there was declared to be no championship for 1884. This decision was formal and final. The question has been disposed of and will not come up again for consideration.
