THE TRIENNIAL.

'S6 Men OusIn Force-Just S6 Present "A Glorious Ttme-The Glass Cup Presentation-Four Thousand Dol- lars Raised on the Spot for the New Yale Gym.
 The class of '86 gathered in the room D in Atheneum on the campus at 6:30 last even- ing and forming procession, with the Sec- ond regiment band at the head, proceeded to the residence of President Dwight. Thence they proceeded to the house of ex-President Porter, and then to that of Professor Rich ards. These gentlemen made brief appro- priste speeches in response to the cheers. Professor Wright was then serenaded, but he was absent. Finally the class marched into Loomis' hall, where the ceremony of presenting the cup to the class boy, William Clark Arkell, took place.
 The band struck up as the men sat down to the table. The music in its notes was made to resemble the cries of 8 babe, which Anderson made the presentation speech. An extract from the address to the youpgster is as follows:
 When you caught your nurses hair and kicked and pulled that was Yale. For all Yale athletes do is catch or kick or pull. And when she stopped you perhaps you yelled; that, too, was Yale. For those of us
 
 yell.
 And to night with rapid steps you will tot. ter up to take the cup. So did Yale with rapid steps at Mott Haven about a month ago come up and take the cup.
 Keep on my boy as you have begun. Have we not promised you morning, noon and night during our course that some day we should put you on the crew and you should wax the Harvards, as we are going to dol Fit yourself for your life at Yale in mind and body. Let your father manage the es- tate. Fit yourself in mind that when as your pallor may be only that of Fit yourself in kindliness so that iu sophomore year the torch and mask may serve to conceal only the mals prohibita, not the mala in etc. Fit yourself in comrade- ship and good fellowship, that your junior ease may be accompanied by the pipe of peace alone. Fit yourself-but no; for sem for year you need no fitting, for not man of us in all his life has won 30 many female hearts as you have won tonight. And, finally, may the saddest tale you have to tell be when you bid Old Yale farewell.
 After the speech MT. Arkell stood up and responded as follows:
 Mir. Chairman and Members of 'S6-For the beautiful cup so beautifully presented you have my warmest thanks When in kindness or in joke three years ago you asked me to assist in selecting it we did not think that this little fellow on my left would claim the first sip. But having started the joke it was nay sacred duty to carry it out. Hardly had the good news flashed across the country that the America's cup was safe when this other "Volunteer" broke the interregnum and re-established class boy sovereignty, making you all his, uncles. Born in the h. dian town of Canajoharie, he feels that he holds sort of treble relationship to you and when he grows older he will sue for "quarter"-expecting no refusal. While other sons have been class-boys of Yale col lege, it pleases me that this boy Is the first born of Yale university and in lieu of 8 far kindlier hand. he already calls it his alma mater. trust that as he is the class-boy he will ee so composite in his character that he will, l,..have the gentle ways of Waterman, brilliant mind of Pierson. Again let me thank you for lips that cannot speak and now my dear classmates, may as many years remain to you as drops of wine in silver cup contained.
 Mr. P. B. Stewart then asked MT. Wood- ruff to start singing, and the class then sang their old time fence songs. Dinner came next; the menu of the catering by Mrs. Red cliffe.
 In the course of the dinner Toast Master P. B. Stewart called upon H. W. Mason on "Our Alma Mater," 0. W. Goodrich on
 1leOlOgy, IL. A. bAleS on MeO1ClQ6," C. M. Lewis on "Law," and Charles Hellier on s'Married Man." The committee consisted of Bartlett Arkell, F. N. Sewall and E. 0. Lambert.
 The cup presented to the class boy had the face of badly on one side and on the other the inscription, "Class cup of 'S6 Presented to Wm. Clark Arkell."
 At the beginning of the banquet the sub- scription for the proposed new gymnasium was taken and the handsome sum of $4, 900 was raised.
 It was curious coincidence that there were just S6 men present at the table.
