YALE GLEE CLUB.-The Easter holi-
days invasion of Yalensians has become
such regular event that hundreds look
forward to it every spring. The sons of Eli
always make a brave show. They bring
down their base ball nine with which they
generally humble Georgetown, and, appro-
priately enough, they bring along their
minstrels to celebrate in song their tri-
umphs. The glee and banjo clubs found
the usual large and fashionable gathering
aw aiting them at the National Rifles Hall
last evening, and the usual enthusiasm
was visible, for everything on the program
vas encored. OF course there were the old
stand-bys, familiar to every college man,
like "up-i-dee." Then there were songs ap-
propriate only to Yale, like Brave Mother
Yale" 1t was something of shock to the
older hearers to see Eli jostled from his
premiership. The stage was draped with
the American colors, and. in hearty sym
apthy with the spirit of the day, the ini-
tial number was Sousa's STARS and Stripes

air appeals to the popular heart just now

march. which Is admirably adapted for a
national song. During the singing of
America" the entire gathering arose.
