Fencing Tournament.

The intercollegiate fencing tournament, held in New York Saturday, was won by the Harvard team. Yale's representatives withdrew on account of an injury which one of the team had received a short time before, and Harvard and Columbia only were represented.

Townsend of Columbia made the best score, winning three bouts straight.

The eighth bout, between Thacher of Harvard and Fish of Columbia was the most earnest of the tournament. Twice the foil broke in Fish's hand. Thacher forced over the boundary line and won.

The decisive bout was between J. Ellis Hoffman of Harvard and L. M. Lamson of Columbia. Towards the close of the bout Lamson, thinking he was safe, as sumed a defensive attitude, but the bout was decided in favor of Hoffman, and this gave the victory to Harvard.
