YALE NEWS. Prom. Preparatfons-Land to Fur nish the Music This Year-Win the Prom. be Held in the Gyma-Yale Banner Out-The Chess Club Holds a Most Successful Meeting.
 The arrangements for the great social event of the year-the junior Prom.-are rapidly nearing completion. As has al ready been announced, F. Parsons is chair man of the committee, while A. Chisholm is floor manager. The preliminary dance orders are now ready for distribution at | the Coop. store, while the committee have l contracted with Lander of New York to l furnish music. He will provide string | orchestra to furnish the dance music, while l band will play during the intermission. The dance order is as follows:
 1, waltz; 9, polka; 8, polka; 4, lancers; 5, waltz; 6, yorke; 2, waltz; 8, polka; g. waltz; 10, waltz; II, waltz; 12, lancers; IS, waltz; IA, galop; 15, waltz; 16, polka; IT, waltz; IS, waltz-a total of eleven waltzes out of eighteen dances. The prom. will undoubtedly be held this year in the new gym, if satisfactory arrangements can be made.
 Stagg's return to Yale as professor of athletics will be most beneficial to the col lege if true. He has been offered $6, 900 year at the Chicago university, but can probably be prevailed upon to come here on much lower terms.
 The Yale Banner for this year has at last appeared and amply fulfilled the ru | mors concerning it's superiority over other publications of 8 like nature. It is far beyond anything that has ever offered before and reflects great credit on its editor, MT. T. s. Hard. There are one or two errors, viz. the mis- takes concerning the banjo club, amis- print of the seal in the front and one or | two mistakes in the records of track worth the two dollars now charged for it. An edition of 400 copies has been printed and the price will probably be raised be- l fore long. .'-1
 The third meeting of the Yale Univer- | sity chess club was held last night at 217 l D, and various business transacted. It was decided to write to MT. Casswell of '66 in reference to the intercollegiate cup; also the Yale cup. The secretary was also | directed to correspond with the chess clubs existing at Harvard, Princeton and Colum- bia and make arrangements for tourna- ment; also to receive any suggestions as to | the management of the club. After the | business was transacted the report of the 1 preliminary round was read and two games | were played. Those of the club who were | not engaged as players or spectators form | ed rubbers at whist, and very pleasant | social evening was spent. The next meet | ing will take place on Tuesday evening at 7:30 at 109 Elm street, and a constitution and bylaws for the club will be adopted and the reports of the tournament will be received.
 PRESIDENT WHITE LECTURES TONIGHT. | Hon. Andrew D. White, Yale graduate and ex-president of Cornell university, will give the first of the Kent clubs course of lectures in Osborn hall this evening. The l subject of his address will be: "The | Diplomatic and Consular Service of the | United States" MT. White, as minister to Germany under Garfield, had naturally the best means of studying our diplomatic service, and his lecture will no doubt oc- casion considerable interest
 THE YALE GLEE CLUB
 Are making quite a hit by singing as an encore at their concerts the following | stanzas:

 When they they got the ball touchdown it did
 
 Their legs were blue, their hearts were true, they

 When the mighty Heffelfinger broke their wedge. Bliss was sent for forty yards around the edge. That was Yale That was Yale"
 Lewis, Amhersts captain and center rush, will enter Yale law school next fall. He is man with some colored blood in his veins, but this has not effected his athletic status. He is the best man in the position this year and has been more than match for all the centers he has met.
 MT. Bugeson will continue his readings in Dandet this evening.
 Dr. Seaver, who has printed from time to time valuable statistics about the men at Yale, is now at work on tabulation of
 the places of birth of the fathers and grandfathers of the members of '95.
 THE CHAMBER CONCERT.
 The second of the Yale university
 chamber concerts was given last night by
 the Beethoven quartette. The audience
 was not as large as at the opening concert
 nor did the Beethoven quartette acquit
 themselves as we'll as the Kneisel; seeming
 to lack the exquisite balanced unity o1

 following are the gentlemen composing the quartette: Messrs. Gustav Damn. reuther, Ernest Thiele, Otto K. Schill and
 Adolph Hartdegen. The first on the pro-
