INTERCOLLEGIATE RELAY RACES.

The University of Pennsylvania Athletic Association has sent invitations to about fifty colleges and thirty-five preparatory schools to compete in a relay race meeting on April 25. There will also be several other races between colleges. The invitation to Harvard to enter a team against Pennsylvania has been accepted.

As far as possible the colleges have been arranged in groups of four of about equal strength. To the winner in each group will be given a silk banner as a college trophy; and each member of the winning team will be given a gold watch. The prizes for members of the team finishing second will be silver cups. If but three colleges are entered in any group no second prizes will be given. If but two are entered the prizes will be silver cups.

Beside the Harvard-Pennsylvania race, the principal team races so far arranged are:

Yale, Princeton, Brown and Georgetown University.

Cornell, Columbia, Lehigh and Lafayette.

Williams, Dartmouth, Amherst and Union College.

Swarthmore, Haverford, Rutgers and Stephens.
