derful advantage OF being no more eN-
pensive and a great deal less trouble
to give than the ordinary formal affair.
The woman who originated the grape
dinner had a man 20 serve &C. but this
is not necessary In the center of the
table was a big silver aud glass dish,
into which were piled grapes of "a
deep purple and bright green. with an
abundance of grape leaves upon them.
As grape leaves are not always easy
to obtain, imitation ones can be sub
stituted for the sake of the appearance
Of the dish but at this time Of the
year a trip to the country will give any
one an armful OF leaves for the ask
ing. From the dish there extended
grape vines. which led to the four cor
ners OF the table, each terminating
with a large bunch of green grapes
The table was set for eight. and nm
der each plate there was a dolly in the
form OF grape leaf. stitched with
green around the edge and velned, The
cloth was snow white. as were also the

noted during his residence abroad at
Berlin for five years. in Paris one year
and in London six months. says the
Washington Star. lie stated that in
London horses are treated best, and in
Berlin the worst. In Berlin a small

vehicle, somewhat like a hanson cab,
is drawn by a single horse. which Is
generally poor In flesh and is con-
stantly whipped by the driver. The
asphalt streets are kept wet by frequent
washings and this causes a continual
falling Of the horses. In view of this
one always allows extra time for prob
able delay When down the horse Is
quickly released by an ingenious ar
rangement of harness and shafts Eacn
side Of the shafts is hinged independ-
emily of the other, and the harness can
be removed without cutting. In Paris,
he said. the treatment Of horses is
about the same as in Berlin. In Lon
don the horses are cared for better
than anywhere else in the world. They

whips are only cracked. The driving
is perfect and compes the admiration

To-MoRRow's BOAT RACE

At Lake all-Arrangements for Spectators at the Yale-Wisconsin Contest-The Course Staked Out. The race between the Yale varsity and Wisconsin crews will take place on Lake Saltonstall tomorrow after- noon at 4;30 o'clock. Arrangements have been made with the electric road
 company for carrying the crowd to and from the lake, and on the shores there will be signs pointing out the way to Regatta Point, which Is the best posi- tion from which to see the race. Every thing possible will be done to enable
 the spectators to view the race. Saltonstall Point is also connected
 with the Branford high road by road across the fields, so that there will be
 an excellent opportunity to see the fin- ish of the race from carriages. The points in the road where it is necessary to turn off will be marked by signs, so that there will be no difficulty about finding the way.
 In order to avoid all danger from the passing trains the railroad company will station a man at the tracks, and will issue orders for all teams to slow down as they pass the Saltonstall cross 1 ing.
 An admission fee of twenty five cents will be charged, and tickets will be put
 on sale at the Coop, and at the osborn Hall pharmacy. It is earnestly re- quested that all who intend to see the race should purchase their tickets at tkese places, as the facilities for sell | ing them at the lake are very poor. Opposite the finish a barge, carrying one hundred people, will be stationed. It will leave the foot of the lake at 4:15 D. m. Tickets for positions on this barge are seventy-five cents, and they are on sale at the Coop. and at the Osborn Hall pharmacy.
 The management of the Yale navy has superintended the stalking out of 1 the two-mile course on Lake Saltonstall | where the Wisconsin race will be l rowed tomorrow afternoon. The start will be made at the head of the lake and the finish just under Eagle Cliff, a distance of two miles,

THE U. S. CHURCH ARMY.

Another of the Regular Nightly Meet
 ings Largely Attended and Enjoya-
 ble.
 Lieutenant Charles II. Stanley of the New Haven post of the Church Army led the service of song with which the meeting was opened last night.
 The lively tunes, and relish with which they are sung makes it impossi- ble for dullness to find an abiding place at 176 Temple street, and the people passing by the door stop suddenly at the sound of the music and many enter the rooms and remain throughout the entire meeting,
 Last night, though rather, showery, was one of the best that the army has had since. opening it's headquarters here, few seats being vacant in the room, and the speakers being listened to with closest attention and deep inter- est by those who could get in.
 
 vices are conducted, men being welcome to come in, if only to remain for a few moments, is such that the restraint sometimes felt in church is here nom existent, and the headquarters are fast becoming pleasant and popular place in which to spend a portion of the eve- ming. These services are never long and tiresome 9 o'clock as usual thing being the latest a meeting is in prog | ress, and people may retire to their homes before the evening is old. Captain Estey was in charge of the | meeting last evening and will be the remainder of the week. His short, help ful talks are listened to attentively, and the respect shown to the place is in keeping with the character of the audi ences who attend.
 The remarks by the captain and the officers of the army were directed to those In sin who need freedom, and | many of the Christian people present added testimonies.
 Captain Estey sang as a solo Lust Lean Upon Jesus and Lieutenant Stanley gave two of his original songs | to the satisfaction of all. | The service tonight will be one of especial help and, in fact, each meeting l is enjoyed more than the preceding one. The future of the United States | Church Army here is assuredly bright one.
