 Class Day Exercises.
 A more perfect afternoon than that of yesterday for the class day exercises at Yale could not have been ordered, and In consequence the gathering of commencement guests seated under the canvas of the temporary amphitheater back of Old North college was very brilliant one. Young ladies in their handsome gowns were there by the hundreds to hear the cracks on the diff ferent members of the academic senior class, and, needless to say, the exercises were thoroughly enjoyed. The histories were well written and witty, and called for frequent applause. Between the reading of each of the histories there were singing and a selection by the Second regiment band under the lead- ership of Frank Fichtl. "Integer Vi- tae," "The Pope" "Amici," Drinking Song" and Dear Old Yale" were heart fly given by the seniors, and the chorus of each was sung in unison with the audience The histories, which form such an interesting part of the after noon's amusement, were read by James A. Parker of Louisville, Ray Morris, of New Haven, Maurice Mason, of Chica- go, Walter Bruce Howe. of Washing ton, and Frederick R. Haight of New Haven The histories of the New Ha- ven men, MT Morris and MT. Haight, were the best of the afternoon and these popular young Yale men were the recipients of great applause during the roasts, grinds on their classmates, com pliments, etc., that they got off during | their turn on the stand. The class formed in front of Lyceum shortly be- fore 2 o'clock and marched to their | places In the center of the circle of | seats and remained there until each | nan had been put up."
