The Princeton Gle. c,..

The concert to be given by the Princeton
College Glee Club at Metzerott Hall next
Wednesday promises to be one Of the most
delightful affairs of the sort of the winter.
The advance sale OF tickets has been un-
usually large and assures an immense audi
ence that will make the concert a genuine
social event The. Princeton alumni ana
their friends in this city are using every
effort to make the stay of the boys a memoir
able one. In the afternoon Mr. and Mrs.
McCammon are to give tea in their honor
and after the concert they will be entertain
ed at a ball given by Mrs. Swami.
This year Princeton boasts not only Of the
foot ball championship. but OF having the
finest musical Organization of any college.
The entire membership OF the clubs is fifty,
distributed among the three organizations.
so that the Glee Club has twenty-five MEM
bers. the Banjo Club eighteen, and the Man.
dolin Club twenty. The men are a fine
looking crowd and thoroughly representa-
tive of the college Among the members are
such athletes as Trenchard, captain of the
foot ball team; Phil King. the famous quar-
ter back: Mackenzie, captain of the base
ball team; Payne, Prirceton's greatest bat
ter; Mccormick. Rhodes and Harvey. sub
stitutes on the foot ball team. The expenses
OF their trip. which will extend as far az
New Orleans, are necessarily heavy, but
whatever money Is made is given for char
ity and needy organizations in the college
and not, as some suppose. TO the individual
members OF the clubs.
The program this year comprises fifteen
selections, nine by the Glee Club and three
by each of the other two clubs. beginning
with Old Nassau and ending with the Creole
Love Song, in which all three clubs take
part. The Glee Club sings such strictly
Princeton songs as The Orange and the
Black" Step Song" etc, My Love" the
Turtle Dove" "'9 Medley and a few
humorous solos. while the Banjo Club comes
in for a few lively pieces and the Mandolin
Club, which is really an orchestra. in that

DOWN MOUNT HAMILTON,

a Thrilling Stage Coach Ride at Full
Speed, Turning Many Sharp Curves.
It was late when we left the build
ing and began the downward trip,
says writer in the Californian. 1t
was so dark that determined to ride
down as far as Smiths, making the
start from there afresh in the morning
The coach l happened to catch con-
tanned a party of excursionists. Tho
road down from the summit is in all
sprebab the finest cut road in the
world, but it is steep, abounds in sharp
turns and terrific precipices, and is not
road one would select to go down at
full speed. Yet when the fourin hand
turned down into the road. the driver
mashed his hat firmly on his head and
brought crack from his whip like a
report of revolver, at which the
horses sprang forward in mad gallop
Crack came the whip again, and with
q terrific sway the heavy coach swung
round the curve and went tearing
down the road while ftful shrieks
began to come from the ''insides''
Trees, spectral trunks, great oaks and
sSdHicicS tiCH SichtAS VI CusI IoSC
and hid the landscape so that the
horses seemed rushing into fog
bank. Over bridges we went. the
thunder of hoofs rising in the night
with weird and forbidding sound.
The pace kept increasing; the horses
were at dead run. sweeping round
curves with a frightful swing, now
coming up under the brake with a
terrific crash, then tearing madIy on
in the wild race for the lights of
Smiths away below in the gloom.
Great trees with long branching arms
reached out, seeming to intercept the
road. Cults of gloom opened up sud
denly as the coach dashed around
