 DINE AT HARTFORD
Old Eli Graduates Renew old Ac- uuaintances and Pay Tribute
 to Their Alma Mater.

Hartford Jan. 23.--There will, in future, be no letters from Yale grad uates in Hartford to the Yale Alum old Yale spirit, for the old Yale spirit was present in force and blat- antly evident at the thirtieth annual dinner of the Yale Alumni associa- tion of Hartford at the Hartford club last night.
 Three hundred Yalensians of all classes, ranging from the hoary of 1914, were present to pay their tri- bute "to God to Country and to Yale, ," last night, and to renew old assocfa- tions. Gov. Holcomb and Ex-Gov. Baldwin a Yale graduate, sitting side by side, several state senators, busi- ness men and insurance men of prom thence were there, and near them the graduates of but six months standing.
 Sons of Yale all, they forgot all dis functions. Even Trinity men and
 mira bale dictu--Harvard men, mem bers of the Hartford club, when they appeared in the balcony, were greeted with a Yale cheer and with songs of their colleges. Elihu Yale and President Hadley were there, too, but on the screen only. And as the "Undertaker's Song" rolled forth despite letters from super-sensitlve graduates to the Alumni Weekly protesting against this famous Yale song, a great Yale cheer went up.

SONS OF THE ELITE
 WORK PIKER'S TRICK
Quartet From West End Try to Evade Payment For Tickets
 at LyCeIm.

Four wise and frisky young men, scions of four of the first families of New Britain's elite, were deeply hu- initiated and barely escaped arrest last night at the Lyceum theater when they sneaked into the gallery without paying their way.
 Whether the young men evaded payment of their tickets on a bet on a dare or really did it with an intent to cheat the management is not known, but they did 1t and when caught suffered a few minutes of anxiety. Their names are withheld because of the feeling for their fam flies.
 While the quartet thought they were working slick trick and jollied themselves into thinking they were safe when they managed to sneak past the ticket taker and sit down in the gallery they were doomed to disappointment for they were dis covered and when the curtain dropped at the conclusion of the first act they were approached by Officer Murphy and invited to go down stairs and interview the ticket seller Their patrol.
 It did not take the four wise guys long to make their decision and in single file they lined up before the ticket window and each one laid down the ten cents they had tried so hard to save.
