DAINTY HANDS CLAPPED
FOR COLUMBIA ATHLETES
First Ladies' Day at the Handsome
Club Heuse.
Muscle and Brawn Exerted Itself
to Please the Many Fair
Guests.

The winter girl lent her numerous and
gracious presence to the first of the
seasons social functions under the aus
pices of the Columbia Athletic Club yester-
day afternoon and evening at its club
house, q street northwest, the occasion
being ladies' day. One or more of these
will be giyencach month during the winter
and If they all, as they doubtless will be,
are as pleasing to the club and their guests
as was that of yesterday, the rest of the
series may be anticipated with rare de-
light.
The club-roons We're very handsomely
adorned for the reception of the ladies'
The parlors particularly were rich in
floral and growing plant features, and as
the entertainInent was held from half
past 2 until 6 D. M, there We're both
daylight and electric light to show what
excellent decorative artists are these gen.
tIemen of the athletic guilds.
BEGAN WITH A MUSICALE.
The program, which was. as usual. in
formal, began with musicale, but this
is not co be confounded with the grand
musicale which will be given by the club
on January 4, and which will be formal
affair This musicale was contributed
to by Prof Irving G. Brown, on the
AeoIian. heard in these parlors for the
first time, and by Miss Gertrude Raven
burg.
During these recitals the merit of the,
music was evidenced by the silence of the
guests, rather miraculous Condi-
ton when there was so muckto talk about
since last ladies' day, but more especially
S
pie to talk to.
In the next number Prof CIossley had
the floor with the juniors, who, proud of
the unofficial critics, went through the
exercise of the POLE Grill, riding and vault
ing over the german horse and leap frog
POLE VAULTS WERE POPULAR.
Three gentlemen who did the high Eole
jump were the admiration ofthe spectators
There could have been no mistaking the
jealous eye which the younger ladies re-
garded the gentlemen in very short pants
who went over the bar as agilely as If the
pole and the legs and the atm osphere were
of india rubber. After all there are a
few things left which the newest kind of
a woman can't do
In this exercise Mr.. Franz, having the
longest pole and legs, took down the ten
foot persirnnon. Mr. AveTis did some sur
pFising things en- the trape2e and MIR Fitz-
patrick and Prof. Darriallat took the ladies
back into the seventeenth century with che
foils, ME-. Fitzpatrick being somewhat
handicapped by sore wrist, but he can
always make these sacrifices On such oc-
casons.
There were besides exhibitions Of bat
teau board vaulting over the German horse
and also some bate au tun.bling. Mr.. George
Carter and Mr.. Robert Elder punched each
otherin u very manly way for a womanly
holiday. The prize money has been en-
joined in bank.

The traveller who elects to take a winter trip to California in order to find health and comfort under it's sum- mp skies while New England is chilled and snow bound, will, unless emulous of Lieut. Peary and his associates, se- lect route that will not carry him into the heart of the storm swept Rockies, but which will, on the other hand, permit of life, easy and expeditions transit across the continent. Such a route is the Southern Pacific, and the Sunset Limited' trains over this road, which leave New Orleans and San Francisco semi-weekly throughout the season, are the most handsomely ap- pointed in every particular that ever offered the inducements of their attrac- tions to the trans continental tourist. Everything that modern car construc- tion and furnishing, unexcelled table service, rapid time and courteous at tention can offer is at the travellers service, and speed, safety and comfort are most happily blended in every de- tail of arrangement. The New Eng land agent is E. E. Currier. No. 3 State street, Boston, Mass.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

The biograph will conclude the first week of it's engagement at Poli's Won derlaud theater this evening. Next week it will be shown again and sev- eral New Haven pictures will be exhib- tied, including the Yale football eleven at practice. This is a, very realistic picture, showing the faces of the men distinctly as they stand strained for the onset As an additional special feature the three MaCarte sisters will appear and present their phenomenal performance on the slack wire, which has been the sensation at Roster & BiaPs during the past three months
 This weeks fine speciality performance will be given its final presentations this afternoon and evening and inde- pendent of the great biograph it is at- tractive enough to warrant a very large attendance on both occasions.

A LARGE METEOR LAST EVENING

About five o'clock last evening a meteoric body of unusual size was seen by a. large number of persons in the city to shoot across the southwestern sky The body appeared as large as a football and it being so early in the evening and not yet dark it appeared to be a pole light without the brilliancy of such bodies seen later in the night The meteor or whatever the fiery body was, passed from the west to east and it's flight appeared to be about 40 de- grees, starting at the zenith and dis appearing just above the horizon. No one could be found at the Yale observa- tory last evening and whether the phenomenon had been observed there could not be ascertained

THE STOPPING DUCHESS.

''The Sporting Duchess" which will be presented at the Hyperion next Mon- day and Tuesday nights, is in every sense as great a success as was ever seen in New York. It ran in that city for over 300 nights. Everybody de- clares that the plot is strong, that the characters are finely drawn, that the company is the strongest one and that the stage settings are admirable. There are forty-ene speaking parts in the piece and over 200 people appear in the ensemble. The names of some of the principals speak for themselves. Agnes Booth Cora Tanner, Elita Proc tor Otis, Harry Lacy, Louis Massen, Joseph Wheelock and Harry Gibbbs are among the members. The famous Derby race scene, with it's twenty thor oughbred race horses and the fourteen mammoth pictorial scenes are all fea- lures of this excellent attraction, which is under the very able management of MT. Frank l.. Perley.

 Clever specialties are interspersed throughout the play. Billy Muller in funny monologue, Harry Waters with limitations, the McCarver brothers with eccentric dancing, Miss Flora Hines in impersonations, and MT. and Mrs. sam Lucas made favorable impressions.
