With so many veterans on the St. Paul's team, more time will be devoted by the coaches to a cultivation of team-work than could otherwise be possible; and so it is probable that when St. Paul's meets Berkeley in their last game a few weeks hence we shall see an interesting exhibition of scholastic football.

On October 3 the subscribers to the Philatelic club-house met in the building which had been leased by the committee, and organized under the title of "The Collectors' Club," adopted a constitution and by-laws, elected governors, and arranged for incorporation. The board of governors consists of William Herrick, president; Charles Gregory, vice-president; J. W. Scott, treasurer; J. M. Andreini, secretary; and Messrs. J. N. Luff, H. L. Calman, F. E. P. Lynde, H. E. Deats, and F. A. Nast. The club-house is No. 351 Fourth Avenue, near Twenty-fifth Street, and contains an auction-room, billiard-room, meeting-rooms for the different societies, bedrooms, and janitor's rooms.
