GAVE VERY SUCCESSFUL CON-
CERT IN THE HYPERION.

LaFgsnnd Select Audience In Attendance
-Voeatfssa and Instrumental Artists
Accorded Enthusiastic Receptions
Concert Was One of Rare MsrIt-Ths
Program.
The first joint concert. given by the
Yale and Harvard musical clubs. was
that Of last evening, in the Hyperion
theater, in this city. The concert was
one of exceptional merit and was hear
tily appreciated by the large and en-
thusiastic audience in attendance. The
audience was one OF the most select
present at any theatrical rendition or
musical entertainment in this city in
many season. In fact the audience
was one of wealth, fashion and refine
ment. The boxes were occupied by
charming college girls with their chap
erones and escorts. Handsome gowns
and profuse display OF college colors,
the blue and crimson intermingling
very harmoniously, combined to make
the effect one of rare beauty. The col
lege men were present in large num-
bers and the evening dress of the gen.
tlemen served as a fit setting for the
beautiful gowns of their fair compan-
ions. The audience was highly sympa-
thetic and appreciative. The various
numbers on the programme were most
enthusiastically received, the vocalists
and instrumentalists being accorded
vociferous ovations for their excellent
work
The concert prefaced the great meet
ing of Yale and Harvard men in their
athletic contest, scheduled for this af-
ternoon. While the football battle will
be decidedly a contest, the college men
from Yale and Harvard look upon the
event as one which only cements all
the more closely their union as college
men. The concert last evening certain
ly demonstrated the kindly feeling that
exists between Yale and Harvard, and
the unqualified success of the function
warrants the prediction that such con-
certs will become annual occurrences.
When the Harvard Banjo club APP
peared for the first number on the pro-
gramnle, the Harvard men We're given
a very demonstrative reception, which
was Of the most cordial character i'm
aginable. The Harvard Glee club, also
the Harvard Mandolin club members
were treated equally as cordial as were
the members Of the Harvard Banjo
club and their work throughout the
evening evinced the fact that the re-
eeptions were deserved. The rendition
of the vocal selection, 1.-THE Water
Witch" by the Harvard Glee club, in
the second part of the evenings pro-
gramme was, perhaps, the hit of the
evening. The rendition was perfectly
accomplished and the applause was so
earnest and prolonged that the Har-
ward men were obliged to respond with
an encore.
The Yale musicians acquitted them
selves in a most eommendable manner
and their work was not overlooked by
the large audience. The different parts
were well balanced and the vocal and
instrumental work elected applause and
comment of a very favorable nature.
The concluding numbers on the pro-
gramme were rendered by the glee
clubs in unison. The Yale and Har-
ward men joined in singing Harvard S
college song, Fair Harvard" and then
the vocalists sang the college song of
Yale, Bright College Years."
