 Saturday morning passed without the ap' pointments being given out to the anxious juniors, all of whom were anxious to learn o1 their scholastic success during the first two and a half years of college: At length some members of the class, becoming weary of the delay, wrote out list to suit themselves and succeeded in imposing on several of their condding mates, who hastened off to their rooms to prepare letters for the next mail which should cause joy within the home cir cle by the announcement of Charlies ol Johnnies wonderfully brilliant scholarship When, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the fac ulty gave out the true list, and these same youths found their names several degrees lower in the scale, or in some cases absent their hilarity subsided, and yesterday was consumed by them in writing satisfactory ex- plantations of why this sudden drop had oc- cured.

 The total number, ninety-fou1, has been exceeded only by the class of '84 which had ninety eight appointments, and equalled only by 'S3.
 Although the number is large, the high stan men relatively scarce, and this shows that the class is far above the average in average ability, although not possessing many geniuses
 An amusing incident connected with the appointments was the eagerness of the New York World correspondent to obtain the list In order to satisfy this individual sev- eral practical jokers gave him list of the fifteen lowest men in the class, all of which appeared yesterday as 'philosophicals
 Cowles, Vernon and Appleton 'S6, Far rington and Kellogg '96 S., Caldwell, Hart ridge, MiddIebrook and Rogers 'S7, Earring ton and Stevens 'SS and Woodruff '89 are now training for the University crew.
