 THE GLEE CLUB CONCERT
 CSrll's Opera House was completely filled with youth, beauty and fashion last evening on the occasion of the annual summer con- cert of the Yale Glee club. The concert is the last that the club of '83, which has been unusually successful, will give The pro. pramme embraced some college airs that have stood the test of years, such as "Come Rally" and George Washington" and many pieces that have recently been added to the repertoire of the club. ''Rosalie, ' Drink, Puppy, Drink,' and Hide Away" were among these. MT. D. s. Knowlton rendered a solo with his customary grace and finish and brought for him deserved encore. MT. Jones, who has not been able to play ball in the recent games, appeared in the second part of the programme and rendered his whistling accompaniment and solo beautifully. He received two immense bouquets. The work of the club, delicacy and power to that of this year. The drill of the leader, MT. E. B. Kellogg, has been most thorough and intelligent and the results are apparent in the delicate shad- ing, and complete harmony of his clubs singing The audience last evening was very persistent in demanding encores and nearly all the numbers had to be repeated. The liberties taken with the programme made it somewhat confusing, the order as printed being followed only in few instances. Still it is doubtful if 8 better satisfied audience ever went away from Carll's Opera House.

 sos PERENNIAL
 The triennial of '80 was highly successful At about p m Church street was stirred to it's foundations by the passage of sos men in procession to the Atheneum,-a noble troop, headed by the American band in full blast. Throngs rushed to see the procesh. The cup exercises were held from 8 till after 9, N. G. Osborn presiding. The en- tire space allotted to guests-the Athe- ing, and goodly throng of faces contempla- ted the proceedings of 80 below. The ora ton was by Mir. s. 0. Partridge, and was 8 witty effort, replete with humor and jollity. The college telegrams of congratulation from the Yale faculty were provocative of great enthusiasm and jollity. The presentation speech by Geo. Fl. Clark. jr., and the recep- tion speech by the father of the class, Mir. Wm. D. L. Barnes of the publishing firm of Barnes & Co.,, New York, were very good. Mr. Barnes asserted the right of his heir to title of distinction in the army as it stood at the head of the infantry of 80. The poem by Walter 0. Camp added to the pleasure of the occasion. The college songs were sung with fervor and spirit. The class cup costing $200, description of which was given yesterday, was greatly admired and the supper served by Barkentin was at- tackled with good appetites, and all went merrily till the wee small hours when the separating came. The class committee were Rev. Arthur Cushing Dill, of New William Montague Hall.
 Yale may feel proud of the class of 80. She has returned and held 8 model class re- union. The toasts were well responded te, they were thoughtful, serious and in good taste while lacking not at all in wit and sharp hits. The toasts were responded to as fol lows:

Shortly after Il o'clock the class, headed by the band to the head of Library street, on York street, where the band played very beautiful ly "Auld Lang Syneo as a serenade to the ladies who had presented the class with an elegant silk banner
