The event of the holiday season was
the concert at the Peoples church last
night by the Princeton Glee. Banjo and
Mandolin clubs. The large audience
that greeted them was composed of the
leading society people, who gave them
a hearty welcome, and were most en-
thusiastic all the way through. The
boys sang their catchy college songs
with the greatest spirit, and their play
ing was exquisite.
Although every number was well re-
ceived, the song, Orange and the
Black, created the greatest enthusiasm
and was greeted 10y the Princeton yell
from the audience on the floor and the
Yale yell from the gallery. The boys
responded kindly to numerous encoreS
thai heightened the programme conSld-

easy to specify any particular number
as oest, but the song, "Nellle Was
Lady,"by Mr.. Harding and the club,and
the coc0anut dance by the mandolin
club were perhaps the most popnlar.
