 In spite of the difidence which char acterized your refusal, as class, to accept our advances, or rather to make any against us, you have among you at least one who is not at all shy. Before you had been here week we all knew Davis and his bull pup.
 And there's one freshman who has mere pipes than 8 church organ. He is at this moment burning to be mentioned; in fact his hair fairly g1ows. No account of '96 would be complete without him. This note came to me from him the other day: ssDear Frank: When yon end your speech don't forget to give three cheers for 'se; and will have my flag ready, which you saw at Lake Whitney. Your friend,

 But must give Stokes a chance, he is becoming impatient. When he gets up here I advise you to either stand in front or behind him, for like little children he must be seen If not heard. He, however, is not visible edgewise, and if you take his oratory from that point of view it will be (didn't catch some quotation here). Stokes confesses that he was in Dr. Seaver's office the other day, to enter his name for the physical development prize. A skeleton was standing in @ corner, and small newsboy came in, and catching sight of the skeleton fled down stairs. Stokes rushed to the head of the landing and called out "don't be afraid, boy, I'll buy one of your papers," 'tNo yer don't, said the boy, yer can't fool me, even of yer are dressed in yer clothes" /" ' "s' ,
 sophomores, that is, some of you will be, for of course there are among you strong advocates of the undergraduate rule. But take my advice, don't try to smoke real tobacco pipes in the streets, it might make you sick; and don't ask for beer at Mory's. Mory keeps ale only; and that was brewed for birds strong of wing. And now, soberly, hope there are no deacons pres ent, have the honor to give to you this evening graeiously and with the best of good wishes for you always, the Yale fence, this blissful fenoe. We promise ourselves you will prove worthy of the trust confided | to you. To the casual and unregenerate Philistine who presumes to lean his habby carcass against these rails, they may seem hard and rough. But to the initiate they are covered with down of anxious ease and happy contentmsnt 1 They are indeed a remnant only of the | splendid array once marshaled around the | campus, accompanying the cohorts of oul fathers and brothers who preceded us 1T these academic shades. The few bars re maining here to-day are but @ sign anG symbol of the storied past, but they ar. enough to show the time of demarkatior between your callow boyhood aud ths happy and enlightened manhood you or, | to enjoy within the pale these scant piecel of wood typify. He who rightfully mount to sn elevation on the fence sees at sum mer eve heavens ethereal bow span will bright arch the gittering hills below, ant here he fingers to survey the promised joys of life's unmeasured way.
 MR. STOKES ADDRESS.
 MT. Anson Phelps Stokes, jr., of Ney York city responded in behalf of '96 8 follows:
 Gentlemen of '95-We are indeed SOFT
 for you, you are so conscious of your owl
 weakness that you have chosen to repre- sent you this evening one whom you knoz could follow his namesake Benjamin in al
 pealing to the country for protection. Ha
 not the faculty not prevented us fror
 throwing our strength against you the re
 suit would have been as in the last cam
 paign prohibition attempted but failure
 with free trade as far as the Yale fence WE
 concerned tho only remedy. Poor '95 you l year has indeed been unfortunate, you fe ) an easy victim to our class in football baseball and rowing, and were obliged t obtain outside help in removing the '96 fla from the liberty pole, and secured bu three out of the four officers in the ohes club. To begin with you are morally bat even Deacon Bill sends in extravsgan
 treatments served the o. D. F. whic ) in reality have been given to Guy of boo
 fame in the nigger heaven of Durfee. I ] athletics '95 contains three of the best me
 that have ever grsced our teams, namely
 The silent sphynx, Bony Bill, who hs given up rowing to devote s1l his time t
 his chin growth, and Dutch, whose pitct ] ing may well be Hkensd to his namesak,
 (Carter's) Little Pills, as they both delive
 the sides from pain. The problem of th
 sphynx Is indeed hard to solve, but b
 once put it very plainly to Mrs. Camp, g
 they were driving to the field, when sh
 complimented him upon his football play
 ing. The long haired man from Tonawar da replied. Itss s-- lie. Pitcher Be bats for the varsity, but his speeches hay given him the most fame. By and by
 Ben, how about those illumination Baggor Buck, the esad dancer, has pc,
 haps reduced the game to more perfec science than Ben or Dutch, for he slide bases on his bare feet, 8 thing barel
 equalled by his one base hit of th
 season in the Holyoke game. Many bas' ball team, however, wishes success. Man,
 ger James the pride of Brattleborough ca1
 not be dispensed with, for he is not onl
 an excellent business manager but diets th men on fine wine from his S-farm, an
 change from Horace's original, being du
 to the atmosphere of Traegers. In foo
 ball excepting Hink and my papers ow
 George, Frank holds first place and wi
 continue to hold 1t unless the attraction
 of Jimmy and Traves keep him from th
 field. In track athletics '95 has three rt
 presentatives. The Buffalonian, who rs
 grets only that he can not live in Ia,
 school. Y., Night, who claims that thi
 kind of athletics is superior to all others
 and lastly Billy the splinter; Billy ia ma
 of many peculiarities, the most prominen
 of which is contained in the fact that run
 ners like to bs ahead of him, so ths
 the wind may be behind them
 Billy adores Mike Murphy an
 cries across the field, Oh Mix
 my finger is out of joint, and even carrie
 his running corkE into prayer meetings a
 Mikes request. Zsns alone represents yo
 on the varsity crew, now that Ives has re
 warded A., who decided some time az
 that if Yale were to win at New Londol
 his beard must be removed. Enough fo athletics. Now as to social stars William Haltby is first, in his own opinion, hi reasons for so thinking being based on tn fact that he received the greater promi hence in the fence oration of last year Maltby has stopped trying for the crew because to quote his words, "A man s prominent at Yale as I am cannot afford t, spend SO much time training just fo twenty minutes at New London" Poor bashful Maltby, who now spends his tim, | %1 xu,hokka- ho |
