 wins in yvrestling-Ch1cagoG Get Her Usual Share-Hazing Afterwards.
 The annual sophomore-freshman rush last nigat on the grounds of the Hopkins Grammar school resulted in walk-over for the freshmen. Not more than one hundred sophomores were in line, but their many victories of last year gave them cour- age. The unequal contest was stubbornly, if not bloodily contested, as was predicted by an evening contemporary. When the 1 two lines came together there was pause l and then '94 was pushed back, while their opponents line was scarcely bent. The sophomores rapidly recovered and were pluckily pressing on, when the ahray was ended by the upper classmen. A ring was then formed and amid riotous applause M. Ewing, '93 s., and Hewlett, '95, came for ward for the feather weight championship. Ewing was clearly favorite, While at Exeter and last year he showed considera- | ble promise as wrestler. Last year as all acquainted with college athletics know | he wrestled three drawn rounds with l Murphy '93 in one of the closest and most exciting games in the annals of Yale's athletics. Hewlett was heavier, but Ewing \ was easily his superior in skill. The first 1 round resulted in draw, as did the other two. These were the most easily matched ] of the contestants.
 The light weight championship was
 taken by Tom Dyer, '95, of the Harvard l preparatory school, Chicago, by default. + Julian HI. J. Nolan, '95 of the same
 school and brother of the popular presi-
 dent of last years Freshmen nine, appeared
 to contest for the middleweight champion year on the football team of his class.
 The disparity in their weights seemed to
 point to victory for '94, and again the
 cheering was tumultuous. Nolan weighs
 143 pounds and Miller 167. After some
 preliminary sparring Miller caught Nolan
 by the waist and threw him; tried to get g
 half Nelson, but failed. Nolan got an arm
 lock and was trying to throw his opponent
 when time was called. Honors easy.
 In the next round Nolan threw Mile,
 by an arm and back lock. Time, min.
 45 sec.
 In the last round Miller showed uI
 winded and acted on the defensive
 throughout the round. Nolan came up il
 good condition, threw his opponent 1T 38 seconds and won the contest
 , After several well-known heavyweight , 1 had been called for and failed to show up
 James, weight 147 pounds, offered him ) self against the freshman, weighing IS! pounds. James, handicapped as he was 2 with phenomenal pluck wrestled the frs round to draw.
 o In last years football playing he got bad ankle, which he sprained on a stone t This forced him to withdraw and be car
 ried home. Unfortunately Loomis, heav. Q weight wrestler, was injured in the rush As usual, hazing was carried on at tn 2 old stand after the contests. But tn 0 sophomores evidently had less heart for 0 than they showed on the two precedin :. nights.
 The committee in charge consisted c q McClung, Wells, White, Bayne, Paine 1 Swayne, Jno. Davenport and Chene.

The Police Eat watermelons.

The local police department were last evening the recipients of most acceptable remembrance from MT. Arthur N. Earn ham, the well-known Westville gardener, in the shape of twenty-five most luscious watermelons, which MT. Farnham had raised at the celebrated Crescent gardens. The men fell to upon the feast with 6 hearty good will and the way they made the melons disappear would have pleased the hearts of any one and showed beyond any question of doubt their appreciation
 of the remembrance. The officers at Sta ton No. were also made happy by the receipt of another batch of melons from the same hospitable source.

WELCOME HOME.

The People of the First Baptist
 Church Welcome Rev. John HI.
 Mason on His Return From Europe
 Interesting Literary Exercises -
 Those Who Were Present.
 The Rev. John H. Mason of the First Baptist church was welcomed back to New Haven from his recent trip by social gathering of his people last evening. MT. Mason returned Sept IA from months stay in England and Scotland, whither he had gone on his summer vacation. The by his congregation last night was gen. uine and hearty, and the three hundred persons present greatly enjoyed the occa- sion.
 The reception lasted from till 10:3O p. m. During the evening interesting literary exercises were held. The decora- tlons of the lecture-room were tasteful and effective. Above the speakers stand was hung the word 'sWelcome" in letters made out of green leaves. The windows were filled with ferns and potted plants and vases of beautiful flowers stood on the piano and the lecture-desk. Beginning at 8:30 o'clock the following program was carried out:
 1. Piano Solo-Organist William s. Wheeler.
 2. Opening Address-F A. Betts.
 3. Address of Welcome-Rev. Dr. s. Dryden Phelps.
 5. Reminiscences- Francis L. Wayland.
 s. Vocal solGaRobest eaR bert E; Msnross. S. Vocal Trio-Mrs. E. N. Allen, Miss Lizzie
 g. cornet Solo7-H D. Hoyt. -.
 Among the addresses that of Dr. Phelps was particularly interesting Mir. Phelps recalled the times when he made & trip to Europe thirty years ago. He was then without, his family and friendsssand believed himself to be the most smfserable person on the other side of the water. Later Dr. Phelps was pastor of the First Baptist church for twenty years during the time that the church occupied the building now used as Proctor's Opera house. The vocal solo by Miss Paterson was one of the most beautiful pieces of the evening, the more affecting since the young lady is without the gift of sight. The pastor in his address stated that he had left for Europe July 30 and had been on the other side of the water exactly thirty days. His tour through England and Scotland was most enjoyable and the if rather boisterous weather. During his stay in England he had the privilege of visiting the estate of Lord Tennyson and seeing the mansion in which the poet lives. Other Incidents of his trip were re- cited by MT. Mason.
 Among the literary exercises the re- rnaining hour was given to general social time. Among the we'll known people pres- ent were: Rev. and Mrs. E. O. Sage, Rev. MT. and Mrs. Pollard, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Delarme, MT. and Mrs. P. O. Durham, Lyman Bunnen, MT. and Mrs c. D. Han son, Mir and Mrs. Weston Ferris, MT. and Mrs. D. s. Cooper, Pierce N. Weich, 0. E. Alli1g, A. L. Bell, Dr. s. 0.
