Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
OLD PoIsr CoMroRr, Va, April s.-When
Chatncey NJ. Dopew got up to Introduce
the Yale boys at their concert and looked
over the sea Of smiling faces he remarked
that he had never seen so many pretty
girls before in all his life. The army OIL
GERS thought the girls had come to sec
them. but that was q mistake. The army
had been hero all winter and they had
not come. but they had como to meet
the Yale boys. He stated that in
coming through Richmond be OBJ
served tremendous excitement which
surprised him, ss Virginia rarely got ex-
cited. Why. some OF the people were &C
tually walking fast! On inquirlng the
cause benevolent-looking old gentleman
stepped up and said: Why, sir, the Yale
baseball club is here and they are going
10 play the University OF Virginia club to-
day." Thst accounted for 1t. We got
telegram q few moments ago saying
Yale won by a score of IL to S-as usual.
But if the young ladies came here TO
meet the Yale boys they are now being
consoled for their departure by the young
army and navy officers, who seem 20 supply
the deficiency and rather likei 1t. There may
be a little inconsistency IN this, but 10
youth and beauty, for after all q hand
some young officer present in the flesh -
much better than en- absent Yale student.
