the Circus at the Union Square.
The annual jainboree OF the college boys
over the football game was slow In getting
started. II was pretty nearly midnight before
the halcyon and vocifcrous proceedings had
accomplished the result that is known us
acquiring possession OF tho town. They got
there just the same. and the Tenderloin pre-
cinct was tilted about as far on end ut mid
night as It ever had been.
The penetrating and dsheartening rnin had
something to do with the postponement OF tho
reverbcrations. hut there was another mani
fest influence. That was that the police didn't
seem disposed to permit the uproarious cele-
orators to assume a complete mastery OF the
district. The police had taken the precaution
to be in manifest possession themselves.
A funny thing about all this was Tint the
tumult didn't with one exception. break out
where II was expected toHssort itself violently.
Except at the performance Of THE Cadi."
there was no call whatever for the presence Of
the giant bluecoats or the 1S.karat Hawkshaws
in fashionable clothes that Inspector Bvrncs
massed at the theatres. The boys were on their
good behavior Mt the uptown playhouses. and
seemed bound to set an example to tho
Columbia College theatregocrs. 1t is n fact
that all tho show Of the majesty OF the police
was provoked by the extraordinary riot that a
thentre party of Columbia undergraduates had
at Harrsan's Theatre some months ago. The
managers and the police both resolved TINT
this sort OF thing wouldn't occur again. And it
didn't Inst night. either.
