The accompanying table of Interscholastic records should perhaps not properly be called such, because the records were not made at any single meeting, but are the best performances made at a number of interscholastic meetings in various parts of the country. After the National games, we shall have established regular "Interscholastic" records, but until then these figures must serve that purpose.

[Questions and Answers.]
Frank Southard asks if it is possible to come to New York and obtain a position. Yes, of course it is. But Frank ought to bear in mind that there are many young men already here, and that it is always easiest to get a foothold where one is best known. "J. G." should address the publishers when in want of a book. If he does not know their names, apply to a bookseller. All publishers send catalogues upon request, but some demand a few cents for the same, not so much in payment as to debar idle requests. That old question about getting into the academies at West Point and Annapolis has been many times answered. Apply to your member of Congress. He alone has power to appoint you, and he only in case of a vacancy. There may be one cadet only at a time at each academy from each Congressional district. The President has a few appointments, but they are intended for sons of military or naval officers, and are rarely or never given to others. This spring we believe the President has one vacancy to fill, and there are more than one hundred applicants for it.
