One week from next Saturday the Harvard Athletic Association is to send a team to New Haven to enter the athletic meeting to be held in that city. The result of this meeting will be watched with great interest, because it will be in many ways an inter-collegiate contest, since men from various colleges, notably Yale and Harvard, will enter the events.

The management of the Athletic Association realizes the importance of this contest and has made an urgent appeal to every one to be at the gymnasium to night, either to witness or take part in the trial for candidates for the team. Men are to be sent to New Haven to enter the pole-vault, the running high jump, putting the shot and the mile walk contests, and it is strongly urged that all who can will enter the contest tonight, not only to stimulate others to do their best but to make it certain that the fittest men shall be sent to New Haven. The importance of this contest at New Haven has not been over-estimated. Its results will forecast in a great measure our chances for regaining the Mott Haven cup next May. This fact alone should urge every man to do what he can to make the trial this evening successful.
