Intercollegiate Fencing.

The third annual contest of the Intercollegiate Fencing Association will be held, as usual, this year in New York. Hitherto Harvard and Columbia have been the only two colleges represented and Harvard has gained the victory each time. At the meeting of the officers after the last contest the secretary was instructed to write to the authorities at West Point and Annapolis, inviting them to send teams to the annual contest. It was also decided to ask Princeton, Cornell and Pennsylvania to take part. There is known to be a great deal of interest in fencing at Cornell, but it is not known whether there is enough interest in the other two colleges to warrant their sending teams. No definite answer to any of the invitations has yet been received by the Harvard Fencing Club.
