Yale's Noisy Concert.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The concert given by the Yale Glee and Banjo Club at the Hyperion Theatre on the evening preceding the junior promenade, was attended by a brilliant audience. The freshmen were more than active this year in displaying their class numerals, and resorted to very ingenious schemes to get "'91" before the audience. The first number on the programme was by the banjo club, after which they left the stage. At this point placards bearing the number "'91" were hurled from the upper gallery, which was filled with enthusiastic freshmen. Doves were let loose having suspended from their neck cards also having the class numerals on them. The curtain was dropped just enough to display to the audience a large flag bearing the freshman class numerals. Each new development was hailed with cheers by the freshmen, who had complete possession of the upper gallery. The sophomores made a rush for the stage door, expecting to meet with no resistance in taking possession of the flag, but in this they were mistaken. The stage hands refused to allow them to enter, and it was some time before they had the flag down. It is said that the employees of the theatre were bribed by the freshmen. Some of the doves were captured by the sophomores and promptly killed.

The concert was interrupted for over half an hour.- New York Times.
