The junior promenade concert takes place tonight at the Carll Opera!H House, and will un- doubtedly be an affair of great and unusual brilliancy. The sale of tickets indicates that degree of interest which should attend so fine an affair as this is evidently to be in all respects. Some of the arrangements are as follows: For the dancing the floor of the par quette as far as the railing will be l utilized, also the stage it's en- tire depth, the scenery being disposed of for that purpose, and highly artistic and beau | tiful effect will be given by making the en- tire background or prospective of the stage gay and brilliant with bunting Also from the proscenium arch lines of bunting will radiate in every direction. Under the arch will be displayed in gas jets Junior Promenade" and prominent feature over the stage will be the Yale boat which won the race last year. The ladies' dressing rooms will be on the first floor to the right, the gentlemen's up two flights. Radcliffe is to cater for about 700, light refreshments, which will be served in the vestibule of the first gallery and in the trustees room. The proposed canopy across College street has been abandoned as not
 
 door on the extreme rear on the west. The presence of many ladies of distinguished fam flies from abroad will add eclat to the bril- liant scene tonight. Following are the ar rivals at the New Haven House.

YALE a1EE CLUB CONCERT.

The annual winter concert of the Yale Glee club, which occurred at Carll's Opera House last evening" was great success, both finan- cially and musically. An excellent pro- gramme was rendered, which included several new pieces. The comical songs, as usual, were the most popular and were repeatedly encored. It seems strange that the club does not introduce more songs of funny nature into it's programmes, as they always take the best of any of the selections. feature of the evening was the warbling of MT. R. A. Peabody, '81. Although he was embarrassed by severe cold yet he did his work we'll and rendered some very sweet notes. The solos by Messrs. Hay and Merrill were well received and both responded to encores One fault of the new club is that the men do not enter enough into the spirit of the pieces they sing. There is too much machine sing ing. The concert as whole was up to the standard of other clubs, the voices harmo- nize well and the material of the club is ex- cellent. All who went came away well satis- fed with the evenings entertainment. The orchestra rendered the popular Harlequin Polka,' but made mistake in repeating it for an encore. Messrs. Peabody and Hay were presented with beautiful baskets of flowers
