Say, have you heard the news about
 Harvard?" No; what?" No hope for Harvard"
 l This was the verdict of everybody
 last night after hearing the Yale slee club sing their famouse "undertaker' | song at the Gymkhana. To say that ! Yale university came down to the Day | Nursery fete and made it hoWlns success Is only putting the case mildly. | The armory floors and galleries were packed. scrammed and crowded with more people, it is safe to say, than such an event has ever before called togeth- CT in this state The brilliant array of booths was decorated specially ill Yale fashion, and down through the center of the Dewey arch a great Yale banner charactured with three Rahs and a big "Yale" underneath, the whole being framed in by Yale flags and shields on arch and pillars, completed the whole effect. The Yale shields were pattern ed after the shields of oxford and Cam
 bridge.
 Ceremonies for the evening began with the parade of nations, which was
 more elaborate than on Wednesday
 evening. Twice the procession marched
 around the hall and then passed tri-
 umphantly down under the Dewey
 arch to the front. Before the Dewey
 arch an arena was with difficulty roped
 off, at about o'clock. for the concert
 of the Yale glee and banjo clubs, The glee club came in first and lined up for
 "Old Mother Yale" and the "Drinllng
 Song" before the banjo and mandolin
 clubs entered for their share of the pro
 gramme. A medley was then followed
 by the song which has made Pop"
 Hirsch famous, the and now well known "Boola" song and chorus This took so well that after More Work for the Undertaken it was repeated to the evident edifcation of the audience. The programme was fittngly closed with Bright College Years" Credit is due to the management and thanks to the Yale men who appeared on the scene in time to make the Gymkhana more than a success.
 Supper will be served tonight by the Baptist churches; the Congregational supper last evening was pronounced great success. The ice cream and fan cy cakes being used at the Gymkhana aie furnished by the New England Dairy company, who have literally given to this charity and are reaping golden opinions for their different products.
 While all the booths cannot be men, toned in detail each was doing its share of business, and none more than another deserves praise
 At the syrian booth at the right of the entrance, which is in charge of two genuine Arab women and one man, are choice embroideries at a price which, if one considers the hours and days it must nave taken to have wrought those wonderful designs seems absurdly small.
 A Syrian girl with wonderful dark eyes says in her pretty broken English: "Ees is beautiful embroderies will you not buy some? Only fife dollar. Take long, long to make all ees steetches. It ees all our women can do. We nefar like American" They are beautiful exquisitely so so are the hand made laces and the luck stones and the quaint buckles and jewelry and other Oriental novelties with which the booth is filled. In the Nor way, Sweden and Denmark booth, in charge of Mrs. J. B. Sargent, they were doing q satisfactory business yester- day afternoon and the prices were very reasonable: indeed there is ap- no eXtortion at any booth and "a serves in many instances as well pIeas- ed with their investments. In the
 grabs and mysterious packages sold unopened, fair return for her money was the motto of those who put them up.
 The Pan-American Express company, in charge of the Pequot council, has done famous business, selling the first evening nearly 250 express pack lges. On duty yesterday afternoon
