IN MEMORIAM.
mra charIe. ThomDson,

MrBs CnAEAeS InOmpSOAs
 Yesterdays COURIER, under the list of deaths, had this announcement: "Passed away, at 10 o'clock p. n. of September g, 1888, Elizabeth, beloved wife of Charles Thompson" To the casual reader who knew her not, nor MT. Thompson, the octo- genarian builder, so long identified with the history of New Haven, such an announce ment can make but little impression. But it is far otherwise to those who have known him, as has the writer, from his early youth. We can sympathize with our aged friend in his distressing bereavement of a most admir- able companion who was rendering golden and blissful by her many virtues and loving attentions his declining years. It has been said 'the world does not know it's great men," it may with equal truth be said "the world does not know it's good women. :" But then the last are known, known to the highest intelligence, known and felt, blessing and loving, in the narrow but most charming place of our lives, our own homes.
 A thoroughly good woman was Mrs. Thompson. Her religious faith and devotion to friends were unbounded. She possessed rare good sense, broad intelligence, was emi- nently social, cheerv and sympathetic in her disposition. A strong point in her character was her love of beauty. A friend, now that she has departed, on entering her home re- marked, 'fHer house speaks eloquently of her love of beauty" H. H., Crown street.

CIRCUS DAY.
Adam Forepaugh's Circus in Town
Big Crowds Attend the Show.

Adam FOrepaugh's Circus in Town
Big Crowds Attend the Show.
Yesterday was circus day and the streets
on the advertised line of march were crowd
ed long before eight o'clock with boys,
strangers and vendors. The procession was
to start at $50 o'clock, but it was delayed
and it was after eleven when it appeared on
the route. Thousands of people were out in
waiting to see it and the public schools were
almost deserted. The features of the parade
were numerous and attractive, embracing a
dozen or more gilded chariots of every de-
sign, from that occupied by the band to the
one representing Cleopatra's barge; two bands
of music, including one composed of cow
boys on horseback; out-knights and ladies in
circus apparel; dens of wild beasts fantasia
cally carved; ponies drawing wagons in
which were seated clowns and other gro
tesque creatures; line of blooded stations;
camels and dromedaries; dozen ele-
plants, in the midst of which Bolivar tow
cred up with dignity; lady riders on fleet
steeds; "MIkado" characters in gorgeous ar
ray; cowboys and ranchmen; the Deadwood
coach, which has passed many fight;
group of Indians of various tribes in war
paint and feathers; steam calliope and 9TH
er things. Much of the street display was
travel-worn and disappointing as to nagnii-
cence.
Thousands witnessed the show in the after
noon and evening, but at the afternoon show
the tent was not entirely filed. The princi
pal features were the hippodrome races, the
herd of trained elephants in charge of Mr..
Adam Forepaugh ,jr., and the latter's trained
horse which successfully walked back and
forth on a rope suspended thirty feet above
the ground, this feat being of the best
hits of the show. The Bogardus family were
also good in their shooting. There were
many other features of the show,
the average of which was only commonplace.
The show of animals was also ordinary. The
races were exciting. During the hurdle
race in the afternoon one of the riders was
thrown. He limped off the track, showing
that he not dangerously hurt. The
children and many of the adults as well were
delighted with the amusing comicalities of the
trained baby elephant and the boxing ele-
plant, while the young folks were also
specially interested in the high wire diver
sions and the young bicycle riders. Mr..
Adam Forepaugh sat at the door of the main
tent near the ticket taker when the crowds
were going into the show. Harry Evarts
the genial press agent assisted in announc-
ing the great specially acts at the show.

Yale stock went way up yesterday. The
boys went to Princeton and defeated the
college team to the tune of to 8. This
gives the wearers of the blue an excellent
opportunity to win the college champion
ship. When the news reached this city the
students joy knew no bounds. loot horns
were in great demand and the stock of can
non fireerackers in the retail stores found q
ready SALE The Rail- Rah! of the students,
the booming of the irecrackers, the ringing
of the chapel bell and the horn blasts made
the residents in the vicinity think that the
Judgment day was either impending or had
really come.
After the first jubilee the boys went off to
supper. A committee made arrangements
to receive the victorious nine in proper style.
Landrigan's band was obtained and Smed
ley's Tally Ho coach secured. At ten o'clock
all +he students in the college assembled on
the campus and proceeded to the depot.
When the 8 O'Clock train from New York
rolled in one thousand throats sent up ter
rife shout and the horns did good service.
The nine were raised to the shoulders of
the crowd and carried to the coach. Then
amid the explosion of rockets and the
burning of red fire and the jubilant music of
the band they were escorted to the campus.
Large bonfires were kindled aud general
pow-wow INDUCED in. This was the first
victory for Yale this season that really gives
her a chance for the championship, and the
boys could not possibly keep quiet. The
revelries were continued till long after mid
night. The score by innings of the game is

The snow lies deep on the frozen ground,
And the Christmas night is cold,
And shine before the rhine TO hoar
Can it be am growing old;
Long years ago when the Christmas chimes
Made merry the midnight sky,
When the carOlcrs call filed houses and hall.
And wassnil and mrth ran high.
When the harlequin mummcrs reelcd and danced,
And the great yule log blazed bright
When the walls were green with summer sheen,
In holly and ycw bedIght;
When the faces Of all, the young, the old,
We're trimming with sparkling cheer
Aye, those were the times when Christmas chimes
Were the merriest sounds Of the year,
| snapped my fingers In Jack Frost's teeth,
Will. the snow was waVCrinS down,
And the iclrrs hung from my beard flung
MY beard that was then so brown!
And wrapped myself in my grizzly coat,
And lit my pipe with coal
From IIecla's crest, where stopped to rest,
On my way from the Northern Pole.
My roindeers-O, they wera brisk and gay
My sledse, it could stand pull;
My pack, tho great, seemed feathers weight,
No matter how crammed and full.
Ny heart It was stout In those good old days,
And warm with nm inward glee
For thought of the mirths OF thousand hearts,
Where the little ones watched for me.
So gathered my sweets from far and near,
And piled my cunningest toys
(Unheeding the swirlsl, for the innocent girls,
And the rocling, rogulsh boys.
But the times have sobered and changed since
then,
MY merriment flags fororn;
Ny beard is as white on Christmas night
OF old was the Glaston thorn.
Tho my wrinkledup lips still hold the pipe,
No longer the smoke-wreath curls;
But saddest to see, of sights for me
My frolicsome boys and girls
Have grown so knowing, they dare to say
Those prOtestcrs wise and small
That all saints deceive, and they don't believe
In n Santa Claus at all,
All me, It's fateful sound to hear;
Iis Call in my wassal cup;
The darlin.s I've spoiled, SO wrought FOR and
toiled,
The children have given me up!
Nv heart IS broken. I'll break my pipe.
And my tinkling team may CO.
And bury my sledgo ON the trncklesS edge
OF the wastes Of the lapland snow.
NY useless pack will fling away,
And in Gcrmany's forests hoar
From an icy steep will plunge leagues deep,
And never be heard Of more.
MARGARET J. Preston.
