Some Thrilling Situations - A Prominent Senior Society - That Game of Ball This Afternoon. The students, or at least one set of them, had lots of fun last evening around town, and furnished as much more for the amused spectators. The fun was all over the junior society limitations, which differ from those of the senior societies in that they are of a more public nature, or at least one phase of them, for of course none but the initiated can know or tell (and they wonD what transpires within the heavy portals of the society houses It has always been customary for D. K. E. and Psi Upsilon, the two junior societies, to put the trembling candidates for society honors through 8 rigorous formula, and the methods last night were by no means milder in their nature than ordinary. At an early hour in the evening strange fig ures began to appear on the streets. They looked like human beings, but ceatainly were not clad according to the latest modes.
 CTS not, all were blindfolded; some dis played a fine set of calves, others did not; some were placarded with ''please help the blind" cards, one read 'I am New Haven chippy," and in fact every one of the candidates was successfully made to look like guy. Each was attended by two or more older members, who guided their footsteps over not the smoothest of roads.
 The ones to be initiated were usually taken about in pairs through all the prin- cipal streets, large crowd of delighted small boys and others not so small follow ing in their wake.
 A favorite place to take the trembling victims seemed to be the deep cellar which Edward Malley has excavated for his new building on Center street, in front of Pro kasky's. Down here they were led at a break-neck pace, tumbled around over barrels, rocks and whatever impediments could be discovered by an almost fendish desire for fun.
 At proper intervals two candidates would be brought together for an em- brace, which was meant to be token of the friendship never to cease. It was all very warm work, so frequently they would assemble at. Hauff Bros.', Heublein's, Otto's or some other place for re- treatments. Perhaps the sophomore got some and perhaps sometimes he did not but if he did, he was as likely as not to get some of the refreshing liquid down the waist band of his trousers at the same time. It is well to beleive that when the night was over the young men, who re- ceived notice of their election last Tuesday night to the above named societies, were weary after going through probably the largest night of their lives. And here after will wear the pins with no little de- gree of satisfaction, not in the least con- spicueus places and wait for the time pa- tiently when it will be their turn to have the fun at their. successors expense.

 WerssretthAt a raw reporter was led into making. such reinstatement as to the way in which the character of the men composing the Wolf's Head society was formerly regarded in the college as appear ed in our. yesterdays issue. It was owing to the enthusiasm" of an inexperienced re- porter and from information derived from some person or persons on the campus. It is unnecessary to state that the character of. the men wearing the Wolfs Head pin stands aszhigh as that of those of any other society, and we are very glad to be able to take advantage of this first opportunity to rectify y, ,thesmistake. :. .
