AWEEK OF GAIETE. The Yale GIee Club Concert Last
 Evening-Social DissipatlOn-Sopho-
 more German-PreParat1on for the
 Promenade.
 This is the gay week of the year. The fash ionable portion of New Haven society is so largely made up of college professors and their families, who care more for scientific and literary pursuits than for dancing and entertainments, that the city is not noted for it's social dissipation, but in the few days immediately preced- ing Lent each year there is continu al round of social events for visiting and resident society people. The Yale junior promenade, the college Glee club concert, class germans, private dinners and lectures, afternoon teas and evening parties, make this week seem to visiting young ladies Utopia and the city New Heaven.
 The hotels are well filled with guests this year and large number of private houses contain visitors. Many old graduates will be in town to attend the promenade this evening, and will remain over tomorrow to revisit former haunts of happiness and renew the friendships formed in early manhood. The two periods of the academic year nota- ble for the visits of the alumni to their Alma Mater are during this week and the latter part of June, when they appear in full force for class reunions and commencement. A number of undergraduates held little recep tions in their rooms yesterday afternoon to some of the young ladies from out of town, at which refreshments were served. Some of the students favored their friends with banjo music and college glees, to the delight and amusement of the fair visitors. Altogether the day was a lively one about college and there was little studying accomplished.
 In the evening Carll's Opera House was comfortably filled by most fashionable audience assembled to hear the annual win ter concert given by the Yale Glee club. From half-past seven until eight o'clock handsomely dressed ladies accompanied by attentive gentlemen in full evening dress filed into the theater aisles, giving the ushers all they could attend to. The boxes were mostly filled with young ladies from out of town and students. It was nearly half-past eight when the club made their appearance and opened the concert with full chorus in march by Storch. MT. Adler made hit in his warble with the selection from Oli- vette and received hearty encore. Mir. D. A. Jones did some capital whistling with the third number and was encored. The Swanee River was one of the two selections of number four. The song was thought to have died from old age long ago, and judging from the faint applause it received last even ing the club made mistake in resurrecting it. Mr. TourteIlot displayed his fine bass voice to advantage in The Kings Cham pion, and was given @ merited- encore. MT. Hinckle was called back twice with his guitar and he certainly deserved it. His selections were exceedingly clever and his rendition of them was more so. The last piece of part first was Meath the Films. The song is old and might have been left off the programme without being missed.
 The Banjo club played two selections dur ing the intermission and were heartily ap- plauded. The music was difficult and ex- tremely well played. There are six banjos and three guitars in the club. Just as the last strains of polka were dying out some enterprising freshmen in the front row of seats sent up number of balloons fastened together, to which was attached in large num- bers 'SS. The sophomores were cleverly out witted and were forced to acknowledge the freshmen got the best of them. Perhaps the best selection of the evening was the third number of part second which consisted of Bzt and Over the Banisters, rendered by MT. Tourtellot and quartette. The concert was excellent on the whole, but the club should learn more new glees before giving another concert in this city.
 Immediately after the concert about twenty members of the sophomore class gave ger man at Loomis' Hall. The invited young ladies, who had gone to the concert in full evening dress, drove directly from the opera house to the hall where they found awaiting them an elaborate supper. After the refresh ments had been partaken of, and a prelimin- ary promenade, the cotillion was commenced under the leadership of Nr. W. B. Brinsmade, of Brooklyn, and MT. c. H. Luding- ton. jr., of New York city. There were several rounds of favors and some graceful figures. The music was fairly good and the floor in excellent condition for the dancing which continued until the small hours of the Among the prominent young ladies present were: The Misses Trowbridge, the Misses Hotchkiss, Miss Gardner, Miss White, Miss Newton, Miss Richmond and Miss Hart.
 Extensive preparations have been made by the committee in charge for the junior prom snade this evening. CarlPs Opera House will be suitably foored for dancing and dressed with flowers, bunting and trophies won by the college in hard fought athletic contests The dancing will probably begin shortly after 9 o'clock and continue until the early hours of the morning. There will be twenty stated dances and a few extras for the iDdefatigable lovers of waltzing- After the tenth number on the programme there will be a short intermission, during which will be served. The lanciers is the first dance of the evening. The commit | tee have had made some neat programmes, | which can be obtained for small price at l l78 Lyceum.
