ncnt People Present.
 An event which attracted a goodly number of society people last eVehlhe and proved highly enjoyable occaslor was the grand vaudeville performance in St. Aloysius hall, arranged py re" well known society leaders in pehalr ol a special needy but undesignated char itable cause. Whatever the underlying object may be the performance las night was entirely it's own justification and disclosed much unsuspected talent ] besides affording another welcome op' portunity to see some of New Haven's better known amateurs. Further thar 1 the statement that tickets were to be obtained from Mrs. c. M Ingersoll, Miss Rebecca Beach, Miss Justine In gersoll and Miss Katherine TroW- bridge no announcement of patronesses or managers was made, but the pro gramme as carried out gave evidence of most capable management and the audience demonstrated it's hearty ap- proval by repeated encores throughout the evening.
 | The first number was Spanish dance, "El Paso di Madrid by Miss Jean Coburn, gracefully executed ir appropriate costume. Then followed a negro "quartet of celebrities, other wise known as J. M Carlisle, R. P. Ty- Ter G. " Reynolds and s. l.. Coy, all Yale seniors. The 1901 men sang sever al darky melodies, which were well re- , ceived. James H. Childs, 19O1S., gave an exhibition of legerdemain, down on the programme as "Hanky Panky Tricks" (Childs' play). After he had mystifled the audience by various tricks, little Miss Ruth Lichtenstein ap- peared in song and dance. The petite dancer showed evidence of careful training as we'll as innate ability of a high order. "Une Affaire dHonnem" was the designation of a fencing bout between Messrs. Arnold and Mayer of the Yale fencing team
 Miss Justine Ingersoll appeared in monologue giving Bret Harte's "Her Letter." and for encore My Ghost of a Coon.' Miss Ingersoll, as always, held the audience by her ease of manner and force of expression.
 A. H. Sharpe and George May of the Yale gymnastic team appeared in some clever feats of tumbling, dressed in grotesque clown costume.
 Sketches of Coster Life" were given by Dr. Gervase Green of Yale. pr. Green kept the audience in the very best of humor by his ludicrous imita- tions.
 Two other Yale men, Robert J. Hin ton and F. l.. Eliason 1901 showed their ability upon the horizontal bar.
 After an intermission, during which light refreshments were served the evenings entertainment was concluded with a little two act comedy entitled Raspberry Shrub Sec" Miss Rebecca Beach took the part of Aunt Hanna" Mrs. Newberry, Aunt Sarah Jane; Miss Chandler of Boston, their niece, Jennie; and Henry H. Townshend was Bob Taylor. The two aunts most innocently open a bottle of champagne for Rasp- berry Shrub and fail to discover their mistake until too late. The little play was skillfully acted, and much amused it's audience No one who was present at the Grand Vaudeville performance last night can doubt that if the variety theaters ever run short of material New Haven possesses ability which could easily step to the front.
 Among those noticed in the audience were Professor and Mrs. Beebe, Mrs Timothy H. Bishop, Miss May Bishop, Miss Twining, Miss Walker Miss Eiz- abeth Sargent, Mrs. Professor Perrin, JustiSe David J. Brewer, Judge Will liam K. Townsend. Talcott H. Russell, Dr. Yandell Henderson, Eliot Watrous, and many others.
