THE CHICAGO TR1B.
SONS from summer climcs. A shy-faced moon
made chcquered shadows under the trees and
played llide-and-scck in every dreamy alcove,
creating also q sombre gloom like the vcrg'ng
Of twilight into night. The chime Of the chapel
bells, the songs Of the happy rcyclers coming
from the sleeping city, the blink Of hun
dred lights on the fairy grounds, and the
whir Of the hurrying wheels on the
grayelcd walks, created ~, scene and
surroundings that was irdcscribablc as poetical.
In the dusk OF the falling darkness, the sowned
forms OF gaunt Professors sta1ked mcditatlvcly
among the trees, hesitating, as it were, between
their theological reflections and the temptation
to Join the brilliant gathering within, but the
voluptuous swell Of tue music from the open
and ere long the echoes Of the Campus an
swcrcd only to the football Of lovers or the
whistle Of exuberant hackmcn. AT O'Clock
the scene from the southern platform OF tile hull
was magnificent in the extreme On the dals Ut
the northern end we're congrcgated number OF
venerable Bishops and o hundred learned di-
vines, among whom the handsome form. and
kindly face al our cstimablc Warden could pc
seen pleasantly greeting his guests; and to the
SLOW rhythm Of the music were marching the
wealth and beauty Of many States. Probably
never in the history Of our city or college has
there been such gathering Of winsome faces,
or the display Of such gorgeous dresses, and
your correspondents proudly atlirns, on tho
Judgment Of those from a1ar, whose lives have
been worship at the feet OF the 1alr, that u tue
bright eyes and royal beauty Of our own 'Sdlvin-
itics - carried off the palm. Chlralry naturally
prompts one to be partial to guests, but why be
untrue to the cultivated daughters OF our good
ly city, whose Charm OF beauty Is only exceeded
by their many graces, native to the sex: me
toilets were so complicated and varied, SO mag
uinceut1y beautiful in their texture and style,
and so dclicatcly arranged III the most becoming
contrasts by the respective wcarers, that the
