IT is stated on good authority that the Lacrosse Club of the University of the City of New York, which has been in existence for many years, will be allowed to die. Its place will probably be taken by the club at the New York College, which is somewhat better off regarding practice grounds and student support.
THE Detroit Lacrosse Club suggests that an International League be formed, taking in Detroit, Windsor, Chatham and some Michigan towns.
PEDESTRIANISM.

RACQUETS.
SEVERAL exciting contests at racquets took place at the New York Racquet Club courts last December, a feature of which was a match for the professional championship of America between Albert Wright, the leading marker of the New York Club, and the English player, Boaker, the principal marker of the Quebec Racquet Club. In some preliminary practice games, in which Boaker gave odds to Robert Moore—the other marker of the New York Club—the latter had the best of it; but in the games for the championship, Boaker bore off the honors, as will be seen by the appended score:
| Boaker | 15 | 15 | 12 | 13 | 10 | 15 | 15—Total aces | 95 |
| Wright | 10 | 4 | 15 | 18 | 15 | 7 | 8—Total aces | 77 |
Total aces by service, Boaker 13, Wright 17. Time of game, 1 hour 17 minutes.
