reason why it should not be accepted. Missours's refusal on the ground that the final examinations begin on the 25th, (the first of the two days fixed for the meet) created much surprise, and will be received with sore disappointment by those who have been training.
THE LOCAL EVENTS.
Now that the impetus of the Inter-Collegiate meet has been withdrawn, it is feared by those in charge that the interest in the field and indoor matches will begin to waver. There is no doubt some ground for uneasiness in this respect. While it is a bitter disappointment to our athletes who have built so much on the hope of participation in the Kansas City contests, we do not believe this will greatly interfere with the success of our own tournament.
The most promising of the candidates are now in good condition, and while they will not have the privilege of performing before so great a crowd, records broken here will receive as wide an audience as if broken at Kansas City. Our own meet will be no mean affair in any particular. There will be a big list of valuable prizes to inspire to lingering. Then there is the Chicago Day, to which we will in all probability send two delegates.
It may be a pertinent question but a common one at K. U. to-day: "Is Missouri afraid of us? or why did she not agree to the Fair mount Club proposition?"

NOTES.
Todd is well again, and will play Saturday.
Ned. Newton is training faithfully and will make a good record in the ruus.
Shiras is getting leary of his honors. Sharp, the divinity student, will oppose him.
Much is expected of Motter, formerly of Baker, and there will be no disapointment.
Humphrey, the West Point man, is away up on the broad jump.
We don't hear much from Hill, but he will be on hand for the running events.
Charlie Fletcher will try and work down to the middle-class boxing.
Stone will be prominent in several of the events. He is in good trim, and is said to have a walk away in the shot put.
Walker has been on the bench during both games. What's the matter with giving him a chance? We are anxious to see what "Sal" can do.
This is an age of wonder. The Indian coronetist is red headed. His observation that Gear was in "gear," mildly suggests the Emerald Isle.
The bicycle races will be close and exciting. Clark, Thresher, Motter, Stone, Fletcher, and Morrison will enter.
