A brilliant Scene - A Program
Well Rendered and Received-Thet
Freshmen Make Their Presence
Known.
The Hyperion was packed last night as
1t always is on the night Of the Glee club |
concert. AL the boxes were full and a
great many were standing up at the back |
and sides of tho parquet circle The con-
cert began promptly and the first number
1.-THE Worlds Exposition March" by the
Banjo club was heartily encored. Then
for the first time in the evening the fresh
men came to the front. Down from the
family circle fell perfect shower of
cards with '94 and '93S printed upon them,
and with these few parachutes with the
freshman label attached. The Banjo club
responded to the encore with the "Gaiety
Skirt Dance" The next number was
''Neath thesElms" by the Glee club, a
piece which always takes. To the encore
the club sang 1--WE Meet Again Tonight
Boys"
The third number, ga Cannibal Idyl,"
| is a new piece and met with great appreci-
alton. Then came two old pieces, "Inte-
ger Vitae, arranged with new harmony,
and the Craven" The latter piece has
we'll, bringing the club out again to sing
"We Sat by the River You and I" as sung
| by the Apollo club four years ago. The
| Last number of part first was ''Serenade"
with solo by Mr.. Carr. During the in
| Permission the freshmen deluged the par
| quet and stage with those Accountable cards
once more and were Kissed sharply by the
sophomores without producing much
| effect.
Part second opened with 'Pot Pourri"
from ''The Gondoliers" by the Banjo club,
| again appeared, presenting Tourtellot's
serenade, TT Arise From Dreams of Thee, :"
with the solo by Mr.. Robinson '91, netting
him two well earned encores. The next
number was new medley, and for an en-
core the old medley as sung two years ago.
Mr.. Wurts in his whistle of "Yellow
Bird" with solo by Mr.. Cooley, met with
double encore. "Fairest Is She" closed
the second part.
Part third was opened by the Banjo
| club with "The Funeral March of Mar
| ionette" and was heartily encored.
"Wouldn't You," as given by Shearman,
'S9, last year, was given by Mr.. Cooley, and
the encore was Summer Girl" as given
by Brooks, go, last year. Then came the
'1vy Song"
Mr.. Runyon, as Bluffs Basso, made the
hit of the evening in ''That's All, '" re-
| ceiving four encores, and but for the dis
turbance by the freshmen would have had
another. The sophomores essayed to
trance to the gallery, but were prevented
| in oo06 shane NV the nhva-
cal g prowess D"p Of President mt Cooley po
bright College Years." as usual, ended
the program. AS soon as the last verse
ended large black tin sign with '94 in
white paint upon it was let down above
the stage and wild rush occurred on the
stage. Then the couples going to the
seniors and sophomore Germans passed
out through the side doors to Warner hall,
finding it exceedingly convenient to make
several blocks ride. Before all the ladies
had gotten over to the hall, the freshmen
and sophomores adjourned to the gym
lot where regular ''scrap'' took place, and
the crowd fought all the way down High
street to Chapel and down Chapel to the
New Haven house where tutors and upper
classmen separated them. There was mo-
little talk on the part of the freshmen
about making an attempt for the fence.
THE SENIOR AND SOPHOMORE GERMAN.
The senior and sophomore germad il
Warner proved successful combination
About fifty couples were present to taxi
part in the enjoyable event. Of course tn,
sophomores had considerable food for con
versation in extolling to their fair com
panions the prowess Of their class in tn
exciting scenes little while earlier, whel
the freshmen were so audacious in drop
ping that banner
: The figures were extremely pretty anc
I some of quite original favors. The souve
1 mir favors for the ladies were strings o
0 Parisienne flowers, and card cases for tn
| men, W. Childs '91 and A. W. Chisholm
'93 led the german.
Mrs. Hoppin of New York, Mrs. Ishar
of Chicago and Mrs. Chisholm were tn
patronesses.

0 flock to this meeting ground, with its COZ
! dial welcome for all. An orchestra fur
G nished music and some dancing was in
: dulged in preparatory, as it were, for tn
Prom. of the following night. But tn
! chief attraction of these events
! the making of new acquaint ances and tn
seeing of old faces after years absence
q perhaps. The festivities ended at an earl
hour to give tired nature chance to re
