This unsuai sight of smoke pouring
out of the windows Of old Connecticut
hall, and the president of the United
States standing by and looking on,
was an actual occurrence on the cam
pus Saturday morning.
Somebody had accidentally dropped
match up on the fourth floor of Con-
neeticut, and the fame didn't go out,
as it ordinarily should do, but fell on
receptive material. 1t happened just
before chapel too, and consequently
empty seats were in the great ma
1ority at Battell. President Taft,
though, did not fail to attend. Then,
Joining President Hadley, they Joined
the crowd of students who filled the
corner Of the campus about the old
dormltory. From he volume of the
smoke, 1t at first appeared as if the
last of Yale's really old buildings Gold
South Middle was built in 1850 was
doomed to destruction. Yet the f1remen
were EARLY on the scene and the
blaze was kept to three or four of the
! rooms on the top floor. The president
| smiled, as did all, to see a water soak
| ed dress suit, shoes and other articles
! come flying out of the windows, but
! he did not, as was stated in some ac-
| counts, take an active part in the work
Of rescue.
AS a token Of appreciation Dean
| Jones, whose office is on the first floor
| of the building, has had a check for
S25 sent to the New Haven fire de-
| partnent.

The resignation from the university
Of C. C. Childs, 1912, Law school, cap
tain Of the track team, was disap-
pointing blow to this branch of ath-
letics. His reason for sudden departure
from college was that he had been CIV
en- business opportunity in New York
city which made imperative an imme-
d1ate acceptance.
Last year Childs won the hammer
throw in the Princeton dual meet, was
second in the meet with Harvard, and
took third place in the intercolIegiates
He had been regarded as one of Yale's
sure point winners this coming spring
Over half the university track team
was lost by graduation last June, and
thus Childs' leaving is more discour-
aging than would be the case other
wise.

Yale College, Jan. 25.-The political
status of Yale was Interestingly de-
termined this week by the holding of a
combined republican and democratic
convention for the purpose Of nom
mating the presidential candidates for
1912, while the election of the leading
nominee on each ticket was subSe-
duently held. Yale spirit was shown
in the election of Taft over Woodrow
Wilson.
on the republican ticket were the
names of five possible aspirants for the
presidential chair, Taft leading, fol-
lowed by Roosevelt, Hughes, LaFol-
lette and Cummins, in their respective
order. The democrats likewise were
given a choice of five candidates.
Wilson Harmon, Folk, Clarke and IN
derwood.
In the nomination Roosevelts sup
porters showed surprising strength, but
Taft led by a comfortable margin. La
Toilette was a poor third, while jus
tice Hughes had but a scattering mi
nority.
Governor Simeon Z. Baldwin, not
placed on the democratic ticket, re-
ccive1 more votes than did Wilson, but
many of the ballots were thrown out
for technical reasons, and the first
nomination went to the New Jersey
candidate. Harmon and Folk held
third place, and the other two, Clark
and Hughes, were practically out Of
the race. The nominations were held
Tuesday. The election Wednesday
brought out 6S1 votes. The count gave
Taft 40, and Wilson 211, giving the
former a plurality of 259 votes. The
president maintained a lead at the
polling placeSin the Yale station
throughout the voting hours, and the
other party could show but little en-
thusiasm.
Although the number voting was but
a little over one-f1fth Of the men in the
university. or a trife more than half
the enrolment Of the college proper,
the result of the vote would seem to
be indicative of the standing Of Yale
as regards national politics.

 DOGS ,AND. MONKEYS:
Snyder Coaching Party. Will Be Here With Gentry Brothers Shows. "

A touch of natu4e makes the whole world. kin, and the touch of natllre that is brought out by the Snyder Family with Gentry Brothers All New Feature Shows brings eall audi ences to hearty laughter. The, Shy der Family is the unique climax of ah idea, conceived by one of the t: diners. The trainer is also a mechanic.
 At odd times around winter quarters he built little family carriage, made a tiny set of harness, several dresses, and everything else that goes to make up the toggery for a family out rid ing.
 Then he drew upon doge and mon keys for his characters. Two big dogs were chosen for steeds. Another big dog, but of different color, was chosen for "Mr Snyder Then Ms. Snyder" was found, and nice new dress was fitted.
 From among many other dogs a little terrier was chosen for the Shy
 
 der baby' Of cou.se ;ne baby had to have a nurse A monkey was elect ed, and larger monkey was chosen for the coachman. After much re- hearsal the animals were working perfectly. Now they drive ill state into the tent of Gentry Brothers All Nev, U,oaturn ShnwS
 The family pays visit While the monkey nurse takes the baby outside. When the coach returns it is turned over. The coachman rights it, and the nurse attends the injured mem bers.
 The manner in which these animals go through their entertaining work IS one of the most laughable features of Gentry Brothers All New Feature Shows. With the Snyder Fam ily' will visit this city Tuesday, Oc- tober 1st. For this city only admis- sion is reduced to 25 and 35 cents.
