The Mardi Gras tournament in New Orleans, which lapsed last year after five years of success, will be revived this year, it is announced by a committee in charge of the affairs consisting of James Janssen of New Orleans, Orest Meykar of St. Louis, and William Osis and Howard Hayden of Detroit. Tentative plans call for holding men’s and women’s foil events at the New Orleans Athletic Club on Sunday, February 15, and men’s epee and sabre under the Duelling Oaks in City Park on the following day. No entry fees or formal registration are planned, and the competitions will be open to every amateur fencer.
