The Yale Apollo Glee and Banjo Clubs

II was the first after-Lent entertainment
and the theater was jammed. Every seat
had been sold long before night. The

walls under the galleries-anywhere they
could get chance. 1t was the first appear

The programme was just such an oue..as
college boys would be expected to produce.
The glee club sang well and the songs COM
manded more hand clapping than the
greatest effort of a festival prima donna
The clubs voices blended .harmoniously
and the singing gave evidence Of faithful
work in training. Every member received
an encore and sometimes the audience de-
manded three and four songs before the pro-
gramme could proceed. Mr.. Percy's "Peach
of Emerald Hue Mr.. Munger's Sunday
s@nooi T6s dude SsA0iaT Who didn't nE dades9 GGesf9
and the old Yale songs were receiYed with
any amount of applause maid of Athens"
was sung q Ld Yale, and Listen TO My
Tale of Woe" called forth great mer-
riment. Mr.. Jenks' warbling songs and
Mr.. Munger'S whistling were the artistic
hits of the evening. The pucker of a pair
of lips is about the hardest thing in the
world to manage and make Subservient to
the requirements of written music but that
point passed and the effect is charming.
Mr.. Mungsr's whistliug solos were artistic
ally done.
The banjo club played extremely well.
Each member swas encored, and the club
responded with new pieces.
The concert was as delightful throughout
as it was novel to a Savannah audience.
After the concert the members of the clubs
attended German at Armory hall.
Passengers on the steamship City Of Au-
gusta, which brought the members of the
clubs from New York, say that the college
boys had complete possession of the ship.
They climbed into the rigging like cats,
turned somersaults on the decks ard hand
springs on the saloon roof, vaulted on the
captains bridge, and made a gymna-
stun out of the whole vessel They
were In every part of it
from the lower hold to the topmast Capt.
Catharine undertook to keep them in bounds
but gave it up, and unburdened Huns slf of
all responsibility for their safety. When a
crowd Of college boys starts on a trip like
that which the Yale boys are now making
there is no telling what they will not do.
The club will give two more concerts-one
at Atlanta and one at Charleston--before
returning north. The trip is nee tssarily
limited, as the Easter vacation is a short
