The plans for the new Yale gymnasium have finally been decided upon. Owing to the lack of subscriptions the committee could not select their plans although the location has been decided upon for some time. The building will be three stories high, either of brick or stone, with base dimensions of 130x80. There will be an open space in the rear of 260 feet for outdoor practice. In the basement will be the bowling alleys, storerooms, and heating appliances. On the street floor will be two rowing tanks, the baths, and possibly the janitor's rooms. The second floor will contain the lockers, and some extra rooms for sparring and the athletic clubs. There will also be some bath rooms near the lockers. The main part of the gymnasium wild be in the top story and it is to be supplied with the best of apparatus. No statement is made in the plans whether the running tracks will be in a gallery or on the floor.
The main entrance is to be from Elm street, but there will also be a carriage entrance at the side so that the teams may enter in their barges from the field. Mr. Randolph is to have the further arrangement of details.
