ALUMNI EXERCISES.

The Exercises of the Graduates Occupy the
Evening Previous to Commencement.
The exercises of the fourth day of
commencement week were brought to
close by the alumni addresses and ban
quet. The events were well attended
and many graduates since the time OF
the founding of the institution were
present. The exercises in the university
auditorium were held at $3.50 last even
ing, and the following program was
rendered:
Invocation
Vocal Solo, The Miller's Daughter
Bertha Pegg. Chadwick
Grafton
The Duty of the Alumnus to Society
Rev, H. N. Wilson, '9I.
Poem Her First Score
Mary Ball Johnson, 'SS.
Heather Posa Lange
instrumental Quintette.
Mr.. Wilson showed up the obligation
and responsibilities of the college gradu-
ate in disseminating education. He
showed the problems that would be
ready at hand for solution, and argued
the responsibility of the college student
in graphing with them.
The poem delivered by Miss Johnson
was historical in its character and re-
viewed the changes and Improvements
during the first score of years of the uni
versity's existence, and the position OF
prominence attained by many of the
graduates. She paid tribute to the pro-
fessors known of old and touchingly
spoke of the vacant places caused by
death. The address was excellent.

New Haven is to Give Comic Opera
 For the Benefit of the Womans Sea-
 mems Friend Society-An Event of
 Importance.
 That notable and worthy organiZa- ton, the Womans Seamen's Friend society of this city, have in the inter ests of their treasury taken an impor- tant step that will entitle them to the thanks of music-loving community. They have decided upon the production of the tuneful opera, Priscilla, comic opera of we'll known merit and one which, although it has delighted New England audiences for the last five years, has never been brought out here. It will be given at the Hyperion in February. The services of the orig inal director have been secured, compe- tent local talent is being solicited and is generously responding to the call.
 Singers of social and musical promi- hence are entering into the affair with zest and it is whispered by those who know that the personnel is to be one of the most brilliant in the history ot New Haven amateur opera, and this is  saying much.
 Opera has not been essayed here for some time and the event will be wei come. The story is a familiar one to New Englanders, indeed the loves of Priscilla and John are among our most treasured bits of Yankee legends and lie very close indeed to the hearts of the Pilgrims sons and daughters of to-day. It is delightful theme to build an opera on and in Priscilla" 1t is said to have been very ably treated The object of the Seamen's Friend so- ciety in choosing this opera Is to pre- sent to the New Haven public an en- tertainment in every way worthy ol patronage, and not to make the event mere pretext for benefiting their ex' cheauer, a laudable motive surely and one that will be duly appreciated. The affair promises to be and should be ar immense success.

DRAWING ROOM MASQUERADE,
A Brilliant Society Event at Mrs.
 Dunscombs Residence.

'|N'ASNNiANS - iNSaANNA1SS'
 The drawing room vaudeville given last night by MT. and Mrs. Godfrey Dunseomb was a decidedly brilliant af fair and was representative of the so- cial world of New Haven. The house, with it's spacious, handsome rooms, is especially adapted for entertainments and was ablaze with light from top to bottom and really presented bower of palms, Christmas greens and cut flow CTS. The stage was filled with palms and white tiowery plants, which form ed bright bits of bloom in the inter- stices of dark green. The fireplace was also filled with palms and a liberal showering of fragrant pink and white blossoms helped to adorn the mantles, tables and odd places. Christmas greens, with an occasional dash of col or, occupied the window ledges, with large hoops of holly hung at every pane The charm of novelty which surrounded the event gave it an extra attraction.
 The souvenir programs were datntlly gotten up in cream white cards, with red letterings. tied with satin ribbon, and read as follows;

THE PEQUOl7S FESTIVITIES
NE.W YEARS DAY AT THEIR HOUSE
 AT MORRIS COVE.

Music, Feasting and Whist-A Large
 Assemblage Present--The Prize Win
 ners.
 Yesterday was a gala day at the Pequot and was one of the first of the numerous festivities which are in the prospective for this promising gay sea- son.
 The days program was delightfully."- ushered in with jolly game of whist The assembly room was alive with the music of we'll wishers for bright and happy New Year for the gallant Pe- quots and their lady friends who turned out in force to celebrate the day Everyone who makes a practice of at tending the social functions of the club was anxious to be present and to share in the many happy remembrances of the pleasant and mutual associations of the past summer, when hardly an evening passed without it's round of festivities.
 There were over 175 guests mingling in the happy throug. The electric cars were run on improved time and came laden with guests, many not coming down until evening. At half-past five an elaborate dinner was served by Elem ing, the club chef. After dinner danc- ing claimed attention, for which a full orchestra played, the crowd not dis perslng at Il o'clock.
 Six valuable whist prizes were play ed for, Miss Hinchliff and Mrs. Kill lam scoring alike for first prize, drew straws, Miss Hinchliff winning out. Her gift was a lovely Dresden plate in rare design, consequently the prize that fell to Mrs. Killam's lot was a plate of similar design, but not as large as her opponents. The booby prize was captured by Mrs. w. P. Futile and was a pretty piece of statuary. The lucky winners among the men were: First, MT. Armstrong, he receiving an elegant silver mounted beer stein. MT. Wilson Leete was made richer by a gold mounted fountain pen, and to MT. Culver fell the booby prize, a figure of Cupid. To the committee in charge 1 much credit is due for the thoroughly enjoyable initiative of '97. Colonel F. John H. Champion were in charge of the affair. The club hall, artistic to it's | interior decoration, was made still more attractive by a judicial floral treat l ment.
