RECORD BREAKING CROWD
Passion Play Pictures Prove Very Attract
i've at the Y. M. CA.

The Y. NJ C. A. building was crowded
Sunday afternoon as it has never been
crowded in it's history. The occasion
was an illustrated lecture upon the Pas
sion play of Ober Ammergau,'' by Prof.
Timothy Drake. Long before the time
for the opening at 3.45 O'clock there was
not vacant seat in the hall, and the
aisles were filled. All the time people
were constantly entering the building
from both the Elm street and the Pearl
street entrances, until the pressure be-
came so great that Secretary Abbott
stationed a guard at the stairway with
orders to refuse admission to every
body without distinction IF color, race
or creed. Finally Mr.. Abbott had to
telephone to the police station for off,
GERS to keep back the crowd. Officers
Romance Thayer and big Ben Brown
were detailed, and after they had sue
ceeded in getting admission, found no
difficulty in controlling the crowd. The
seating capacity of the auditorium Is 800
and there were over 1900 persons pres
ent. Ladies were given seats in the
main hall, and the auditorium, with its
feminine color, presented gala ap-
pearance to which the members of the
association are unaccustomed. The la
dies also had the galleries exclusively to
themselves. Over 1000 persons were
turned away during the afternoon, and
the attendance will probably stand for
years as a record.
Prof. Drake opened his lecture with a
picture of the ocean liner, Hoboken on
which he sailed for the continent, and
then threw on the screen a picture of
the Rhine. A panorama of the region
around the village Of Ober Ammergau
was shown, with pictures of the
typical homes of the people. The town
has 1400 inhabitants, of whom over 600
take active part In the passion play A
portrait of Joseph Mayer, who plays
the part Of Christ, was shown, with one
of Mary Land, who portrays the mother
of Jesus. Meyer has played the part
of Christ since he was p, and played it
for the last time in 1890. He will be
too old to repeat it in 1900, the date of
the next presentation, and new Christ
has been chosen to succeed him. The
new actor is at present a waiter in a
hotel, and during the IS months previ-
GUS to the next play, will devote him
self entirely to a study of his part. The
portraits Of other actors in the great
play were thrown upon the screen, and
typical tableaux and scenes of the play,
ending with the crucifixion All the
scenes in the great passion play were
fully shown, and the impassioned voice
Of the speaker and his mastery de-
scription, added to the tnpressiveness of
the entertainment. At the close of the
lecture, a collection amounting to over
$1S was taken, and the program closed
with colored pictures representing
"Rock of Ages" the Angel Chorus"
and the Throne of God"

HOW U. OF P. WON.
An Athlete Writer Considers Tewkbsury's IS
Running Phenomenal.

One of the best indoor relay runners
in the country, who conducts the sport
ing column in the Boston Times, says
of the Holy Cross U. of P. race at the
B. A. A games a week ago Saturday
evening, in this weeks issue:
The race between U. of P. and Holy
Cross was one Of the best Of the even
ing. Holy Cross had defeated Yale last
year, and had been training faithfully
under Tommy Conneffs instruction for
this race. But the fast running Of Tewks-
bury on the third relay, won the race for
U. of p, and was oneAof the most re-
markable bits of squirting ever seen in
doors. Very few people realize how
much faster a man has to run to pass
another on such track as the Mechan-
les building course.
Speaking of a U. of P.-Harvar5 relay
race, he says:
Since the games, there has been a
great deal of talk about the relative
merits Of the Harvard and U. Of P.
teams, and the opinion has been quite
freely expressed that U. of p. would be
very likely to win such match, for u.
of p. could certainly have run as fast
as Harvard did at the B. A A. games,
and on such track the Harvard rum
ners would never be able to beat the
Pennsylvania men, should they happen
to lose the toss and start on the outside.
In fact, with these @wo evenly-matched
teams, the toss of a coin would be the
greatest factor in the race.
