MOTT HAVEN TEAM.

If the weather continues favorable the candidates for the Mott Haven track team will today begin running on Holmes Field. There will be no work in the gymnasium for the squad as a whole. Mr. Lathrop will be at Holmes Field from 11 o'clock in the morning until five in the afternoon, and each man may come at whatever time he prefers.

The mile team-race men ran on the track yesterday. It is extremely unfortunate that but three days can be given to work on the track before going to New York. The tram races will be run on a dirt track, and the change from the board track, which gives a perfectly firm and solid footing, to the comparatively soft and yielding dirt track is so great that it is very hard for the men to get used to it sufficiently to run in their best form. In this particular the Harvard entries will be at a disadvantage.

The inter-class track games will probably be held on Friday, April 17. The 'varsity scratch games are set for the second of May.

The open handicap meeting will be held on the 9th of May on Holmes Field; the dual games with the University of Pennsylvania on the 16th, at Philadelphia; and the intercollegiate meeting on the 30th, at New York.

The work of collecting money to reimburse the treasury of the Harvard Athletic Association has been going on for some time. The receipts are far from satisfactory. Unless the members of the University respond more generously to the solicitations of the collectors, it is doubtful whether a training table can be started this year. If one is started it will not be until late in the season.
