|Princeton's Glee Club Gives
an Excellent Concert in
Hasbrouck Hall.
MUCH PATRIOTISM AROUSED
Names Of the Patronesses and
Those Who Attended
the Dance.

InnSe VINO Attehucu
the Dance,
Princeton sang, played. and won the
hearts of the people of Jersey City folk
last night. The fairest of Bergen's
daughters paid tribute to the orange and
back. Gray-heired alumni had the old
time enthusiasm aroused in their breasts
and became youthful again. in feelings
at least. as they listened to the songs
of their alma mater. The long anticipated
and much mooted concert of the Princeton
Cleo, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs was a
success far beyond the expectations OF
those who arranged it and VINO worked
so hard to make it the browning event OF
the social season. The success was largely
due to the efforts of w. Patterson Atkin-
son, secretary of the University Club.
Hasbrouck Hall was crowded with as
select and fashionable an audience as ever
gathered there. So well received was he
singing and playing and SO numerous
were the encores that it was nearly
eleven o'clock before the hall was cleared
for dancing.
The concert began with the singing of
.sOid Nassau by the Glee Club. Many of
the alumni who sat in the front rows
Joined in the chorus:-
In praise of Old Nassau, my boys,
Hurrah. Hurrah! Hurrahl
Her sons will give while they shall live,
Three cheers for Old Nassau
King CARNIVAL by the Banjo Club fol-
lowed and then the Mandolin Club played
selections from '.The Serenade." A SEN
sation was created when in response to
an encore to the next number, the "'9S
Medley the Glee Club sang THE Star
Spangled Banner, The audience cheered
itself hoarse and rose in a body, standing
until the anthem was completed. The
cheering and clapping continued for sew
eral minutes after the singers had re-
tired. A eollege song, Marching Through
Princeton, to the tune of Marching
Through Georgia." rendered by the Giee,
Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, was also re-
ceiyed with great applause. Other num-
