 The classic and sedate domains of Yale
 are given over to masons and stonecutters, and beside the anticipated old brick row where so many brilliant brains have aired their brightness are rising elaborate stone edifces, solidly built and ready to battle with the huge array of, years that await the universitY's prosperous life. The Sloane laboratory on Library street, as all know. has been so long done that the bricks have already begun to mold; but the new Kent chemical laboratory just this side of the COZ | ner is as new and fresh as 1t could be and | will be ready for use in the fall. A large | laboratory room at the southeast corner has been finished and in use for some time, but only in crude way. Shelves, benches, tables and much else Is needed to fully com plete the rooms. Plumbers are busily at work on arrangements for apparatus, and the private experiment rooms for professors and assistanfs are gradually beginning te I look scholGr-like. The inside is finished in brick and hard wood. It is almost fire proof The building ts-a great improvement to the corner of High and Library streets.

The ! north wing of the structure is of brick, which will eventually be torn down and connec- \ ton made with the old college library build | ing. A second new library building is soon to be bnilt and the three libraries united -.n-
 to one will then have capacity of million | volumes.
 In week or two the work of erecting the | grand new recitation hall on the corner of Chapel and College streets will be begun. f The builders expected to be at work before ! this, but are delayed by something or other. The famous "fence,'' however, has walked ! off piece by piece, and the few posts left look peculiarly sad and forlorn, with nothing to
 set of their beauty but the bare holes where ! the rails have been pulled out. The caps of | the posts have all been secured by enthusiasr tic Yale men, and are highly prized For a week before college closed you might see \ some suspiciously acting shadow fit up to the fence, finger few minutes and then fly
 away in the dark with big piece of the dear \ old wood under his coat. The rails and post caps are decorated with blue ribbons, Yaleas ' trophies. little mementoes from fair ones ,and many. bear the elastic booty which their ad- venturous owners have captured from confd- \ ing companions of dark evening walks. The membership of the classes entering Yale this year will number something like ' $50. Of this the Scientific school will take l 120. This department of the university is ' literally squeezed down for want of room and | money. It's instruction is equal to any school | of the kind in this country, and, according to Professor Hastings, costs twice as much as \ che tuition fees of the students. With more { money for instruments and instruction it { would be the most live department of Yale. It also greatly needs dormitory. Neverthe- less Yale is beginning to feel very proud of herself, and now that her new president is putting so many fneries on her one may we'll ask in time where it will all end But let
 her go, both barrelsl New Haven is as proud of her university as anyone can be.
 At Sav1n Rock To-Day. The Thirteenth regiment of the State will
 hold it's annual reunion at Sayin Rock to-
 day, the day being the tventy-ffth anniEsr-. sary of the surrender of Port Hudson.
