The Alvln Theatre Is lu the heart of the cltv. and has always been looked upon us an exceptionally line piece' of property. The Alvln Theatre lias a wide reputation for its lieaulies of construction and richness of furnishings and adornment. Fitted with the latest modern Improvements both before and behind the footlights. It Is one of the most complete and luxuriously comfortable theatres In this or any other country.

Special Telegram to The Times. Atlantic City. April 4. The stockholders of the Atlantic City Horse Show Association held their annual meeting last night at the Hotel Windsor and eleqted the following Board of Directors for the ensuing year: (1. Jason Waters, Frederick Hemsley, James B.

Kellly, J. Halues Lipplncott. Charles It. Myers, Xewlln Haines, Hoseph Thompson, Walter E. Edge, Philip J.

Leigh, Allen White. Charles Kvaus. 0. W'lstar Evauw, I). S.

White, Joseph II. Horton, E. C. Leeds, James D. Southwick.

Allen B. Eudlcott, John G. Shreeve. Joslah White, Henry W. Leeds, Edward S.

Lee, A. C. McCleilan and Jacob 0. Myers. The directors snbscQuently met and elected the following officers for the year: President, G.

Jason Waters; tlrst vice president, Charles Evans; second vice president, Joseph II. Horton; third vice president, Frederick Hemsley; secretary, Henry W. -Leeds; treasurer, Allen B. Eudlcott; assistant secretary, William 8. Blitz.

The Horse Show will be held at Inlet Park on July 11, 12, 13 aud 14, and as this is one day more than last summer there will be many more exhibits from Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Baltimore, Atlantic City and elsewhere. Special attention will be paid to local horses, and special prizes offered In the amateur classes. Lust season the cash prizes aggregated while next July they will amoajnt to Last year but two prices were offered In some of the classes, but this summer three prizes will be put up In mauy of the classes. The ring at Inlet Park Is pleutv large enough for the exhibition, but additional room will have to lie provided for by reason of the larger number of entries this season. The Horse Show last Julv was a big success financially and otherwise, but the affair this year will be one of the leading events of Its kind in the country, aud a record-breaker.

The managers of the Horse Show have received a letter from J. J. Scnnlnn, Fire Commissioner of New York city, accepting their Invitation to act as Judge at the coming exhibition. William H. Barnard, a prominent Xew York horseman, will make a flue exhibit of his prize-winners, as will William H.

Henry, of Philadelphia, who recently bought 'the late Charles "Fatty" Rates' Coxey and Ilniwiidonna. Fire Chief Wlesen-thal, of Atlantic City, has suggested that a more prominent exhibit be made of fli-e department horses and this suggestion will be acted on, bringing some fine tire horses here to the show to compete for prizes. AN AUTOMOBILE CLUB Owners Meet and Arrange for Its Formation. Philadelphia Is to haye an automobile club which will be the best of the kind In this country. About twenty gentlemen met yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Flanders to consider plans for the club.

Fully as mnny more were Invited to attend the meeting, but ere unable to do so because of previous appointments. Society has taken klnly to the horseless carriage, and the number of private vehicles of this variety has Increased rapidly of late. With the constantly growing numbers has come a realization of the need of some organization to aid the sport. Two weeks ago a dozen owners of automobiles met accidentally ami this need was discussed. G.

Jason Waters and Robert E. Glendlnnlng were appointed a committee to arrange for regular meeting, at which a club could be orgauized. The gathering at the Flanders yesterday was the result. Among other automobile owners Invited to attend the meeting were Edward Browning, Henry G. Morris and Pedro G.

Saloin. Additional interest attaches to the project because the New York Automobile Club has announced Its Intention to make a run to Phlladelphl this month. The new club will probably act as host. Just before the meeting was called to order Mr. Waters said regarding the plans: "The Philadelphia eluu will follow somewhat In the lines of tbe Xew York organization.

It Is our idea to foster the growth of the horseless carriage In this city. "We will need a central club house, where tho carriages can be stored, cleaned and recharged quickly. It may be that provision can be made for substations, where the vehicles can be recharged if necessary. "It Is the idea of the originators of tlie club to hold weekly runs. There will also be a social side of the club.

Many of the best-known gentlemen In Philadelphia are Interested. As yet I cannot give all the names of our member, as to-day's meeting Is our first, and there will doubtless be additions to those who join to-day. "The country about Philadelphia Is unusually well suited for the use of automobiles. There are scores of Interesting places within easy reach of the owners of horseless carriages. Everything seems favorable for a successful club.

1 will be more ready to talk of our plans at the close of the niect-IU8." Winners at Oakland. San Francisco, April 4. Weather clear, track fast at Oakland. Summaries, First race, seven-sixteenths of a mile, purse, maiden 2-yenr-olds Hniuage. 110, H.

Atlantic Citt, April .4. This morning the golfers were early astir and the third day of the spring tournament of the Atlantic City Country Club showed no falling off In Interest. Splendid weather favored the competitors In the foursome competition, barring a rather stiff breeze that blew across the course, which naturally handicapped some of the players. A more representative field than that which teed off in the foursome competition of the spring tournament at the Northfleld links would be hard Indeed to llnd. Nearly every prominent amateur golfer competed.

The conditions of the competition were at IS holes medal piny, for which two handsome prizes were offered by the committee. Although there was some disappointment at the result of the match agnlnBt Vardon, and there were ni)t a few who thought the showing of DougVas and Harrluian was rather bad, they thoroughly proved In the contest to-day that they are cousiderably above any other amateurs in this country. They won the. competition In the easiest sort of way, their nearest competitors, J. A.

Tyiig and H. K. Toler, tutting no less than ten strokes more to negotiate the 18 holes and yet the winners' curd was not as good as they did in their match against the British champion. Itelow will be found a complete summary of the day's play: THE CARDS. F.

New York, April 4. Columbia's foot-ball season will begin the last week In September with a game against the amateur Walton eleven. The first game after the return to New York will be with Kutgers College. On October 6 Columbia will play Wesleyan, and on October 13, Williams. A week later the first hard game of the season, that with the University of Pennsylvania, will be played.

The game with Yale, tentatively scheduled for October 27, nromises to be a battle royal, owing to the defeat of the New Haven men last year. Princeton will also have a game, though no date has as yet been definitely determined on, and Columbia will reserve November 3 for the New Jersey college. Stevens Institute will play here on November 6, and Columbia will meet Annapolis instead of West Point this year, probably on November 10. Harvard has requested a game on November 17. The Thanksgiving Day game will again be against the Carlisle Indians.

There are a number of other games under consideration. A game may be arranged with Cornell, and negotiations are also pending with the powerful elevens of the University of Michigan and the University of Buffalo. Preliminary practice began to-day under the supervision of Coach Sanford on the Held opposite the campus. Captain Simons announces that the following members of last vear's squad will be eligible to play: Wright and Ervine. centre; Knapp and Smyth, tackles; Bruce, guard; McCaskell, Jackson and Slocovltch, ends; Van Hoven-berg and Wolff, quarter-backs; Morley, Weeks, Deniunn and Berrien, halfbacks, and Norman, full-back.

In view of the hard season. Coach San-ford thinks that sixty available men are essential for a successful team. REVISION OF FOOT-BALL RULES Walter Camp Is Obtaining Opinions Kroin All the Leading Colleges. Special Telegram to The Times. New Haven, April 4.

Walter Camp, chairman of the committee to revise the foot ball rules for the coming season, Is not quickly meeting with success. Some time ago he mailed a letter to the hading universities asking for suggestions as to the changes that should be made in regulating this populnr sport. By this means it was hoped that the opinion of all the leaders In the game could be obtained before the committee met, and the result would be more satisfactory. The University of Pennsylvania was the first to answer with any definite proposition. Pennsylvania stands for some strlu-gent rule that will prevent the coaches or trainers from giving the players points as to their play while the game Is In progress, and also favors keeping coaches from the side lines entirely.

Yale, too, stands for this change, for it was the advice of Princeton's coaches that directed Poe to try for his now famous goal in the last game. Princeton has no suggestion to offer as to changes, but the answer received disapproves of the proposition to alter the valuation of a goal scored from the field. Shnrpe's goal hi the first half last fall came very near robbing Princeton of a well-deserved victory, and It was expected that the Tigers would ask that the five points given for this goal be reduced. Harvard has not been heard from as yet, but a reply may ue sent a few days. MITCHELL ENTERS CORNELL Columbia's Former Foot-Hnll Ian- agor a Student at Ithncn.

Special Telegram to The Times. New York, April 4. William E. Mitchell, the former manager of the Columbia foot-ball team, having severed his relations with Columbia In general, has entered the junior class at Cornell University. There is quite a feeling of regret on the part of Columbia students at his move, for taking his irk In the main It pleased nearly every one except the faculty.

Outside of bis inducing men to play on the team who were not bona fide students he did a great deal of personal work which has never yet been given to Columbia College athletics, and that, combined with his personal popularity, could not fail to' make a warm place for him in the hearts of tbe students at large. He received a flue sendoff yesterday when he bade the New York men formal good-bye, and It Is predicted that, profiting by the mistakes he made In this city, he will make a name for himself In Ithaca. M'KEEVER TRAINS HARD Will be In Urand Condition to Flulit Matthews. The training quarters of Charley McKee-ver, Philadelphia's noted welter-weight fighter, are dally crowded with admirers of the clever pugilist, who enjoy the efforts of the boxer In his preparations for the Friday night's contest at Industrial Hall. Mc-Keever recognizes the fact that In meeting Matty Matthews he will be compelled to put forth his, very best efforts.

Matthews Is today the most dang-rous welter-weight fighter In the country, as he lias shown by the comparatively easy way In which he knocked out Owen Zeigler. Eddie Conuelly, Kid McPartland and other cracks. Matthews and McKeever will furnish the star mutest at the Industrial Club, but the preliminary bouts are none the less interesting, for Manager Barrow exercised great carp in arranging them. Elwood McCloskey and Harry Hurke will meet In the seinl-wlnd-iin, wliile they will be preceded by "Fighting" Joe Allen and George Hlchard-sou, of Buffalo. The other two contests promise te be slashing mills, as they bring together Kdilie McCaffrey and Kid Kimble, and Tom O'Hara and Jack Uice.

Iteturns from the Itonner-West fight will be read from the stage. CALLAHAN TO MEET BROAD Another Choice Bill Arranged by the Perm Art Club.

He also defeated Dave Sullivan, who is to meet Champion Terry Mcflovern In the near future, and has a 2.1-rouud draw with (ieorge Dixon to his credit.

These boys are both In the same class anik have long and brilliant records. Tliey have never met and tbe outcome of this battle will be watched with unusual Interest. Another great bout scheduled Is between Tom deary and Hnrry Merger. These boys met once before at the First ltcglmeiit Armory and deary was all but out In the second round, but Merger failed to follow up his advantage and was put to sleep In the following round after the hardest kind of lighting.

YANIGANS OUTCLASSED Regulars Bit the Ball Hard Zlegler Dses Bis Bead to Advantage. Chiles Injured. Special Telegram to THE TIMES. Charlotte.

April 4. A late start was purposely made by the Phillies this afternoon, so as to let the ball grounds get all the advantage of the sun and wind, but conditions had not Improved much, as the ground was still soft and there were large pools in right and left fields. Little time was lost iu preliminary exercise before the game was begun, as the wind was blowing at a high rate and the men wanted to get it over as soon as possible. The regulars again scored rather an easy victory, though up to the sixth inuing the Yanignns had the veterans scared. Piatt was pitching tine ball until he was relieved by Orth, when the regulars started (n to hit and the Yaulgans to make and that settled It.

Bernhardt worked for five innings and Mahnffey for two. The former's delivery was easy, but the Yanigaus could not lilt the latter. Lnjole's Play the Feature. The only feature of the game, which was called at the end of the seventh Inning, because of the cold, was the playing of Lajoie. When It Is taken into consideration the kind of field he has to play on here his work was little short of marvelous.

But for Delahanty's falling asleep Larry would have had a clean record in the field. Numbered among liis fourteen chances were some that were brilliant' in the extreme. At the bat and on the bases Lajoie shone brilliantly and in the four double plays in which he was identified his quickness and accuracy in handling the hall were remarkable. Others to play their positions well were McFarland and Cross. Ziegler's Good Head Work.

The Yanignns had their own troubles, especially with fly balls. ChMes played well, as did Fraser and Orth, but it was left for Zlegler to demonstrate that he plays with bis head as well as bis hands, by making a pretty play on Kllck in the first inning that not one of a dozen would attempt. Besides he made a home run In a peculiar manner. In the fourth Inning Zlegler drove a safe one between third and short. The hit was so hard that the ball rolled Into one of the pools of water and before Slagie could tow-it ashore with a barrel stave the youngster had made the circuit of the bases.

in catching a thrown ball Chiles badly strained his leg and though he finished the i game he is so lame to-night that It Is with considerable dilliculty that he can walk. The score: Yaulgans. I Regulars. lt.ll. 0.

Ned Hanlon has determined to get' Hugh Jennings in line or exchange the champion's erstwhile right corner guard for one of the Quaker stars before the pennant race Is on.

His offer to purchase either Lajoie or Delahanty nt fancy prices seems to be somewhat Incidental. With Jennings outside of the breastworks and no Larry or Del in his wake, his boss superha calculates he will be able to hold Washington Park against all pennant siegers with the regular team he has practicing here F. D. CLIFFORD Captain Abington Friends' School Relay Team THEY WILL RUN IN THE now. Yet if Itogcrs wants to take Him up he will find a place for either of the famous sluggers.

If Itogcrs should hand over Lajoie In an even barter Ned would most likely play the Napoleon on first and put Kelley back in left field. Slieckard would then succeed Jones in centre, while if he secured Delahanty for "Auburn Locks" it would be a toss up to decide which to put on the bag and which to play In left Held. Of course If Rogers declines the trading proposition, but sells ell her of the plavers In llw, Ucwa-lirj, Tannine, n-lll still be a superha, ami If when he finds out be tins no cliauce of becoming a Quaker plnyer-maiiHgcr. he decides to crawl in under Hnnlon's wing, be will bo welcomed by the papa of ills fame. Then Hnghey would be kept on first and the new star In the snperba constellation be assigned to some regular post.

Klther, Lajoie or Delahanty would shine in almost uuv position on the field. In an Interview to-day Hanlon said: "While I have advised an offer of JS.fKKi to tbe Philadelphia club for the release of 1 1 In nui doesn't feel disposed to consider the propo- clflnn tn Innnltw.c Philadelphia players 1 shall go further and advocate no advance on the figure offered for the big Frenchman. I would give for Lajoie, although satisfied I don't require bis services In order to keep the pennant in Brooklyn." YALE BALL PLAYERS INELIGIBLE Four of the Best Men X'nablo to Play by Reason of Faculty Restriction. Special Telegram to The Times. New Haven, April 4.

Four members of the Yale 'Varsity base ball nine are at present unable to play on the team and the Indications are that three of them will be debarred from competition all tills season. Tlie four are Charles P. Cook, pitcher; L. P. Waddell, first base; E.

S. Bronson, third bnse, and Frank L. Qulnby. second base. Waddell's case may Ue adjusted by the faculty so that lie will be able to joiu the nine in a few weeks.

At present he is debarred because of an examination he failed to take last term. Qujiihy has been out of college for several weeks and his scholarship marks have lu consequence dropped so low that his friends fear he will not be able to raise them again this season. Cook has two or three scholarship conditions, but there Is a chance that be may remove them by tlie time of the Harvard ami Princeton games in June. Broil-son was playing a brilliant third base last year when lie wrenched his right wrist. This took him out of the game for the season.

When he attempted to rejoin the squad a few days ago he found that his wrist was useless as far as throwing the ball across the diamond was concerned. Neither yuln-by nor Bronson Is now working with the squad. Cook and Waddell ure practicing a little, but are not on the team in the regular line-up either In practice or games. This leaves only Captain Camp, shortstop; Sullivan, catcher, and Robertson, pitcher, of last year's nquiad on the team.

He expects to have 1T men lu all by the end of this week, mid from among theiii he says that be will get two strings of sprinters and long-dlslanii' runners. At present Princeton has no weight-throwers of any ability, and It Is Improbable that she will win any points In tlione events this year. WILL HAVE A GOOD TEAM a mm on ton Ground.
