THE EVENING SESSION.

THE EVENING SESSION.
 The evening session was held at the Yale gymnasium and consisted of a gymnastic exhibition. It was attended by large concourse of people, among whom the uni- versity was largely repre= ented.
 From 8 to g o'clock the members of the Anderson normal school of gymnastics gave illustrations of some of the styles of work taught by Dr. w. G. Anderson and Mr. H. s. Anderson, representing the American methods. The first number on part l. of the program was plain and fancy marching by twenty-four members of the school, which was a most excellent exhibi- tion. The second number was club swing They went through with all the prelimi- nary movements with great deal of facil- ity and skill, as they also did the more intricate windmill movements. Twelve members of the junior class then gave an exhibition of light gymnastics, going through with the various dumbbells, wand and arm movements in which they showed perfect training. They showed the meth ods used in teaching and gave illustrations of school gymDastics and alphabet move- ments. The class was led by Dr. Ander- son.
 The fourth number consisted of fancy steps and marches to illustrate artistic gymnastics, the class being led by MT. An derson. This was one of the prettiest ex- ercies of the evening and called forth great deal of applause. The junior class then went through with dumbbell drill, giving all the various movements which arc used in chest development and arm reach The school fencing by the senior class was also an exhibition that was especially ex cellent.
 The seventh and last exercise of the first part of the program was heavy gymnas- tics, to show elementary work on the long and side horse and low parallels for women. The class was led by MT. Ander- son. Part II was devoted to an exhibition of German gymnastics. It was made under the direct supervision of Herman Arnold, instructor in the New Haven Turn Verein, and the methods used by him in his teach was first given by the first and second girls and boys classes, after which an ex- hibition of boxing and fencing with foils was given by the fencing section. A cales- thenic exercise by the ladies' class was then given, which was very fine. All the active members then gave . dumb-bell drill, after which the second boys class gave an ex- htbitton of hopping exercises. The next number was gymnastic play by boys and girls.
 TONIGHT.
 The evenings performance concluded with apparatus work by the junior active members and one division of the mems class, which was by all means tho most interesting of the exercises given by the Turn Verein.
 The evening as whole, was not only very enjoyable one, but slso instructive, as c chance was given to see actually demon strated, the difference and advantages of both the German and American systems of gymnastlcs.
