CAPTAIN PoE's EARNEST THANKS.
"Ovation" is too weak a word to express the
reception given to Mr. Poe when he arose to re-
turn thanks for the gift. He is a little, broad,
powerful-looking young man, with dark eyes and
dark hair His manner Of speech is bluff and
straightforward, in every respect what would
expect in the captain of champion football
team. lie expressed the gratitude of himself and
his men for the gifts which had been pre-
sented to them, as we'll as for the lnvl-
tation extended by the alumni to them
for /" this glorious dinner" He thought that the
golden age" of athletics had come for Princeton
(Cheers.) 1t had not come for Harvard because
Harvard could not come to try: and Yale could
not get there" even if she wanted TO come to
try. loud cheers

luent speech in response to the toast Of Prince
