The Northwestern University Glee and
r anjo CLUBS gave concert at the Peoples
church last Thursday evening The audi
ence that greered them was very enthusiast
tic, and received each number Oh the pro-
gramme with sounds of applause that could
only be sulled by the reappearance of the
boys. They were exceedingly kind in re-
spending to encores The audience while
not so large as the friends of the university
could wish, contained many of the best peo-
pie in st. Paul. The glee singing was good,
and most of the songs were new and sung
with that freedom and swing that is a large
factor in making college songs SO popular.
The following programme was delightfully."-

The most notable event OF. the season in
the way of Christmas festivities, was that at
the Peoples church on Friday night, when
about two thousand people gathered there TO
commemorate the .Savlor's birth. The church
was handsomely decorated with eyergreens
and colored lights. The railing of the organ
