Fencing Tournament.

The handicap fencing tournament held last night was thoroughly satisfactory as regards the number of entries, and the average ability shown was fair. M. Green L. S. won the first prize. His bout with M. Diaz '98 was, however, very close and was won only by his handicap. F. W. Palfrey '98 won second prize.

The most promising men for the team are Diaz, Green and Pulitzer. Diaz is very quick but his form is poor; Green, though he has the advantage of being left handed, is weak on the defence; and Pulitzer has good form but is slow.

The first two rounds weeded out all the men but Green, Palfrey, and A. B. Lapsley '99. Each of these men then fenced about with each of the other two, to reach the final decision.
