The programme for the Winter Meetings, as published in our yesterday's issue, differs slightly from that of last year. There will be no spring-board leaping, and our curiosity is not again to be gratified by an exhibition of German duelling. The management of the meetings has been satisfactory, as a rule, in former years, but we should like to suggest one much needed improvement. We refer to the present manner of admitting the audience to the gymnasium. Some means ought to be taken to prevent the dangerous and disgraceful crowding and pushing in the vestibule before the doors are opened. This can easily be avoided by numbering all the seats in the unreserved parts of the benches, and allowing members of the association to procure checks for these seats before the meeting, in order of application.

Another, and perhaps more feasible way of preventing the evil, would be to open the doors some two or three hours before the games begin. By this method those who care to "come early and avoid the rush." could do so, while those who come late would have fully as good a chance of getting seats as at present, and all the present crowding would be avoided. At all events let there be some improvement in the method of admission to the Winter Meetings.
