The Glass Banquets.
'99's TRIENNIAL AND CLASS CUP PRESENT.

TON.
About eighty mem bers of 's9 were pres
emit at their banquet in Harmonic hall last
night. The event of the evening was the
presentation of the class cup to the class
boy. Sheriff., the great Splinter, who was
intercollegiate champion in the 10O-yards
dash and the 220 when he was in college,
presided and made the speech. It was
ridiculously funny. After getting off
gibes on his classmates he turned to Mrs.
Hubert Wells, the mother of the class boy,
who was sitting near with her husband
and the little cherib, Cotton Wetmore
Wells, the cause of all the hubbub, thank
ed her for grazing the occasion with her
presence. Then he spoke of Wells manage
ment of the Yale Lit. We might apply
the dogerel to Cotton "since it is boy,
sir, we'll dress it up in blue and it shall
wax the Harvards as it's daddy used
to do" only his daddy never
would suggest, and since it is boy, sir,
| we'll put him on the Lit, and he shall
show how dignifed an editor ought to sit,
and how with Mr.. Hotchkiss to run the
| college, too; "per order d. Wells, chair
| man," as his daddy used to do, too. Taking
up the cup he drank to the health of the
Wells family, wishing that Hubert's grand
parents were present that he might drink
| to them too.
Mr. Wells made neat speech in reply,
referring to Sawyer, whose boy was born
August p, little too late to be, the class
boy. The actual class boy was born Aug
ust 6, 1891, fine, little fellow with golden
hair and a chubby face. Mr.. Wells is
teaching in Westville. He has recently
been ordained an Episcopal minister and
will soon 60 to New York to engage in
mission work there. The class cup Is the
$500.
The banquet, which was very tempting,
was served by 9. A. Bradley of this city.
