The Great West.

A Former Chapel Street Merchant Re. visiting New Haven-An Instance of Great Rise In Real Estate-GO West Young Man. MT. Washington Yale, of Minneapolis, Min nesota, years ago partner with Mir. A. c. Wilcox in the dry goods business in this city. is in town visiting old friends and old scenes. He finds much that is new, of course, in New Haven, which has grown greatly since the days when he was in business with MT. Will COX. Their partnership closed about 1836-7, but the growth of the Elm City is not to be compared with the growth of cities in the West, which he has seen rise from a few houses or dug outs perhaps, to become pop ulous places. Minneapolis has become a city of 80, 900 inhabitants during that time. MT. Yale invested $5, 900 in land in Minneapolis, half of which he sold not long ago for $1O0, 900, and the balance is assessed for $165, ,000. MT. Yale has little New Haven property, which has increased considerably in value since '37. He owns dwelling opposite the burned American Theater on Church street, which with the land is valued at $22, ,000, and is not anxious to part with it at that price. Minneapolis was a little place when Mir. Yale went there. It now has 8 popula
  MT. Yale was for some time after leaving New Haven in the dry goods jobbing business in New York, firm of Hatch & Yale, and next went West. His wife is New Haven lady.
 Junior Exhibition.
 Junior exhibition at Yale is about the only oratorical contest in the year. It is the only opportunity that men have of displaying their ability in public speaking. The De Forest prize speaking to be sure allows six seniors to speak, but the merit of their pieces, their depth and thought are taken into consideration more than their method of delivery. This year the number of speakers at junior ex. was narrowed from ten to eight. The speakers were Messrs Twombly, Gale, Holden, Wolf, Chapman, Makuen, Painter and Judson. Their subjects were mainly biographical and there was some sameness in the method of treatment. Most of the pieces were delivered well, but with out that ease and effectiveness that should be apparent in the declaiming of Yale ju- niors. A movement had been started to in troduce music into the programme, but 1t failed, as did also the effort to abolish the custom of wearing dress suits. The speak ing lasted over two hours, beginning at o'clock. The class of '84 can feel well pleased with their junior exhibition. The pieces did not drag and much genuine ability was displayed. The members of the faculty held council for about ten minutes at the close of the exhibition and then announced that MT. G. H. Makuen had won the prize. His subject was Robert Burns and he treated it in masterly manner. His delivery was the most finished that has been heard in Bat tell chapel for years. Messrs. Wolf, Gale and Painter deserve praise for the merit of their pieces But the orations were all good and the junior exhibition of '84 was a credit to the class and to the college.
