GLEE CLUB WON N. Y. CONTEST

The University Glee Club won the intercollegiate glee club contest in Carnegie Hall, New York City, last Saturday evening, and Princeton was given honorable mention. The standard of singing of all the clubs was much higher than last year, and the decision was close.

The cup, which to be permanently retained must be won three times, will remain in the University's possession for a year. This is the second time Harvard has won the meet, but the first time the cup had not been offered, and so the University has only one leg on it. Princeton and Dartmouth also each have one leg on the cup. R. M. Cook '17 as the leader of the winning club was presented a baton.

The University club sang Mendelssohn's "On the Water," football songs, and "The Long Day Closes," the prize song by Sullivan, which all the clubs sang. Princeton, besides the prize song, sang "Lamp of the West," by Parker, and "The Princeton Steps Song," by Carter.

Before the meet the University Glee Club gave a dinner for the officers of all the clubs at the Harvard Club of New York.

The judges were Dr. John Hyatt Brewer, conductor of the Apollo. Club of Brooklyn; Dr. Frank Damroach, director of the Institute of Musical Art, and Mr. Frank Woodruff.
