 APOLLO GLEE CLUB.
 The trials for the Apollo Glee club were held last evening in College street hall. It is proposed to raise the stand ard of this organization and place greater importance on the social side of 1t. This policy was adopted last sea- son, when the name of the club was changed from the Second Glee club to the Apollo club, and the scope broaden ed with the intention of making of it more separate and distinct organiza- ton.
 Last season was a successful one. The club gave three concerts-in Bridgeport, Derby and West Haven.
 The success which the club met With last year promises well for it's future. Hitherto it's object has been almost sole- ly to provide and train men for the Uni- versity Glee and Banjo clubs.
 While secondary musical organiza- tion must be supplementary in it's na- ture to the university clubs, yet the ad- vantages of the training and the very many pleasant features of membership offer inducements to join even to those who are not conscious of extraordinary ability.
 This year the number of concerts to be given will be enlarged to six or eight. The club will be as usual under the direction Of the assistant manager of the Yale Glee club, T. s. Mafit '99.
 YALEs REPLY TO CORNELL.
 Yale has sent her answer to Cornell regarding the proposed boat race. In substance Yale's reply is to the effect that she cannot accept the condition imposed by Cornell in her answer to Yale's challenge-tha of allowing her to choose tke course in 1899. It also expresses desire to row Cornell this year, but says nothing of future races. A dispatch from Ithaca says: Yale's re- ply disapproving of Cornell's condi- tional acceptance of Yale's challenge to row at New London this year was re- ceived by Captain Colson to-day. Cap tain Colson and Professor Benjamin I. Wheeler would say nothing but that Yale had stated she was unable to row Cornell.
 CHAMBER CONCERTS.
 A movement has been started to re- new the university chamber concerts which have been given in this city for the past ten years. Last year these concerts were abandoned for three rea- sons: Because the Kniesel quartet could not be secured on certain dates; because the price asked by the quartet was increased, and because it was fear ed that the concerts would interfere with those of the Symphony orchestra.
 On account of the almost universal desire among musical people to have these concerts renewed. circular letters have been issued by Prof. Perrin, who is the chairman of the committee. It is now proposed that three concerts be given by the quartet as usual. The pro- posed dates for these are February z, March 20 and April IS, and guarantee fund of $500 is needed before the course can be started. Unless the fund is rais- ed this evening the proposition will be abandoned.
 FOR THE NEW GOLF CLUB HOUSE.

The club now numbers about 200 mem- bers and is in very prosperous condi- tion.
