Grand Surprise.

The residence of John Tucker, No. 23 Gill street, was the scene of a grand surprise party on Tuesday evening, the 2oth, in honor of Miss Lottie Campbell, niece of Mrs. Tucker. So complete were the arrangements that Miss Campbell was indeed surprised, knowing nothing of the affair until about 8:3O o'clock when about sixty friends, &C., compRnied by an orchestra, filed into the house and took possession. After several fine selections by the orchestra MT. Beecher, prompter of Thomas orchestra, arrived and soon all were dancing in the three large rooms which had been cleared for this part of the programme. At 12 o'clock all were invited to the dining room where fine colla- ton was served. A large cake containing a very elegant ring was the center of attraction here and soon all were eagerly looking for the coveted prize. At last William M. Ran kin was the successful competitor and the prize was viewed by each guest and pro- nounced as an elegant trophy. This prize and the safe won by Mr. Rankin at the Light Guards carnival will be on exhibition at the College drug store during the week. At enc o'clock dancing was resumed and continued until late, when all started for their respec- tive homes, agreeing that MT. Tucker's was the place for good time.

A Pleasant Excursion Enjoyed by 231
 Yale Students Yesterday.
 The Willimantic Linen company, in order to remove any false impressions about their concern which Yale seniors might have formed from recent speeches, invited the whole senior class and, at their request, members of the Scientific and Law school senior classes to visit their mills and 231 men responded. The special train which was provided left New Haven at 1O:15 and arrived after pleasant journey of two hours at the mills. The students were Introduced to Colonel Barrows by Mir. Bourne, 's3. They then were served to bountiful repast con- sisting of cold ham, chicken salad, oysters, fricaseed and escalloped, Vienna rolls. sand witches, creams and ices, assorted cakes, coffee, fruit and confectionery. While the students were enjoying this fine spread young | ladies passed about distributing pretty | souvenirs in the shape of sample spool of cotton in 8 neat box tied with Yale blue rib 1 bon. The box was stamped: With the ! compliments of the Tariff Built Fraud |" i Mr. Bourne announced that the party would divide up into squads of about twenty, which would be shown over the mills by President Barrows, Senator Boss and others. The mar l row gauge railroad conveyed the parties from one mill to another. Carriages were in \ waiting to take those who desired to see the 1 s'Oaks," Colonel Barrows' new settlement of
 forty one snugly built tenement cottages and
 his own fine home near them, and the
 kind and diligent officers showed the students | all about and explained all the details of the business as carefully as the time would allow.
 After they had been the rounds the parties
 went to the presidents office and the l fine library which the compa- ny furnishes for their operatives. The mills were certainly an interesting study
 and everybody could not help seeing the
 care and ingenuity which has been lavished ! and to make their surroundings congenial
 The party assembled in the lunch room about | 5:30 and President Barrows announced that
 he would like to have questions asked about
 the mills or the business in general Several
 have much effect on the colonel, either from ] 8 fault of their instruction or their own posi-
 ton on the question. About six o'clock the
 students went to the large new ''min No. 4" | which they found lighted with electricity. 1 At 6:3O the train left for New Haven, but not before several s'three times threes" had 1 been given for Colonel Barrows and the Will | limantic Thread company. The only acci- | dent that occurred to mar the pleasure of l this very delightful occasion occurred short l ly after one o'clock Six seniors, Vernon,
 Helleberg F. Calhoun, Sherman Hilden and
 Houpt, were standing on board over caul-
 dron of water leading into the race, and fell in, but they were quickly rescued by thier
