For the second time the Junior class Of the Now
York Law School attempted yesterday to hold q
meeting in the rooms at 100 Broadway and
elect officers. Its nrst attempt on Monday
last was unsuccessful chiefly because OF the ABB
normal interest in tho performance evinced by a
largo and stentorlan delegation OF seniors who
happened in at the meeting and would not, from
feelings OF %delicacy, interrupt the proceedings by
Withdrawing. Yesterdays meeting came to an
untimely close on the same account.
About 200 juniors and an equal number Of
seniors in tho lecture room at the
hour set for tho opening OF the meeting. Mr..
Joseph Hobart, n graduate of Rutgers College.
with one Of the most mournful voices that ever
wrung tears from tho eyes Of q sympathetic
multitude, climbed into the chair. A suspicious
silence ensued.
Gentlemen" shouted Mr.. Hobart in tones
just one degree removed from q sob. "let us
come to order"
"Boo-hoo-hoo," burst out the crowd Of seniors
in a perfect agony Of lamentation. dragging out
their pocket handkerchiefs and burying their
faces therein. "Boo-hoo! Oh, ma-a.a-a-mmai
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"
Hardly had the last, long a~gonized wall died
away on tho quivering air when Nathan g.
Jacoby arose and proceeded to the forum. Mr..
Jacoby is the gentlemen with tho Titan au-
reole who introduced himself last Monday In
the midst Of q violent emotional spasm as a
metropolitan journalist" Loud acclaim
greeted his appearance.
"Jacoby!' shouted the seniors. Pipe up.
Jake!" "How's journalism T. Jake. you're

"Gentlemen!' whooped Mr.. Jacoby with o
noble volume OF voice:
u.s." You treat us right and we'll treat you
"Wemust have order" continued the speaker:

.Uprose then T. Malcolm Frazier. Esq. the dig

the call for the first meeting, and who presided
At th@t meeting s nasa 50 % far Srv as h any Joesl r Man sap

dwarfed everything else.
"It is unfair and illogical to mako fun Of q
man on account of his color"

shouted tho speaker; but here tho concerted
action I" came into play. and IL public speaking
were q State prison offence there wouldn't
have been enough evidence thereafter to secure
an indictment against him.
When his lips had ceased to move Mr.. Jecoby
again arose to be greeted with shrieks OF wei
come. But no sooner had be begun to speak
than O strident-voiced junior named Sugarman
got up on q seat, and with q singular lack OF
facility In public speech began to yell:
RATS! Ratsl Rats! Rats!'
Up to this time only seniors had taken part In
the choral exercises. That q junior should thus
interpolate q solo, unsolicited and without hav,
ing secured recognition from the Chair, bored
them excessively. There was a rush OF about
from the seat with an abandon, that suggested
extraneous assistance. When last seen he was
proceeding gracefully from the room upon his
left ear and with his feet at o quito unnatural
altitude. 1t 10 suspected that his exit was no,
wholly voluntary.
This terminated the formal part of the meet
ing, and as nobody offered any objections to O
general movement mot notion to adjourn the
meeting sifted out. Mr.. Jacoby came up to THE
Q office later to identify himself as the speaker
with the rcd hair. ana to say that there would
be another meeting some time at which Dear
| Chase is to be asked to preside. The suggestion
will be appended. 1t 10 said, that he bring along &
pair Of ear NUTS and a squad of police.
