Inter-Collegiate Athletic Convention.

The annual meeting of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York on Saturday. Out of the twenty colleges that belong to the association only twelve had sent delegates. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Lafayette, Columbia, Cornell, New York, Pennsylvania, St. John, Trinity, Stevens and Lehigh were represented by two delegates each. After some discussion Southmore College was admitted to the association. The treasurer reported a balance of $700 on hand. The following officers were elected: President, R. Faries of the University of Pennsylvania; vice-president, F. B. Stevens of Stevens College; secretary, W. M. Spalding of Princeton; treasurer, L. D. Godshall of Lafayette; executive committee, G. B. Winthrop and William Maurice. It was decided to offer a standing prize of a $50 gold medal for breaking records. As the association only holds in trust the prize known as the Harvard cup, it was decided to have a standard for it to be inscribed suitably for each new winner during the time of tour. Inter-Collegiate records are to stand alone as records in future. An offer of the Manhattan Athletic Club grounds was considered, and will probably be adopted by the executive committee. The last Saturday in May was selected for the annual games of the association. Messrs. Faries and Mapes were elected as delegates to the National Association of Amateur Athletics. It was decided to adopt the rules of the national association so far as they do not conflict with the rules of the association.
