Itinerary of Musical Clubs and the
Entertainment Received.
The Christmas trip of the musical
clubs this year was one of the most suc-
cessful ever taken. The concerts were
universally good, the audiences appre-
ciative and the reception of the clubs
by the alumni in every stopping place,
very hearty and enthusiastic.
The trip embraced concerts in the fol-
lowing places: December 16, Long
Island Historical Hall, Brooklyn, N. Y.
December 17, American Academy of
Music, Philadelphia, Pa. December 18,
Lehmann’s Hall, Baltimore, Md. Decem-
ber 19, Carnegie Hall, Pittsburg, Pa.
December 21, Auditorium at Columbus,
O. December 22, at Odeon, Cincinnati,
O. December 23, in Temple Theatre,
Louisville, Ky. December 24, Enter-
tainment Hall, St. Louis, Mo. Decem-
ber 26, Chatterton’s Theatre, Spring-
field, Ill. December 28, Central Music
Hall, Chicago, Ill. December 29, St.
Cecelia Hall, Grand Rapids, Mich. De-
cember 30, National Union Auditorium,
Toledo, O. December 31, Y. M. C. A.
Hall, Cleveland, O. January 2, Jermain
Hall, Albany, N. Y.
Many social affairs arranged for the
pleasure of the members of the clubs in
the various cities by Yale alumni and
friends as usual went far towards mak-
ing the trip one of the pleasantest ever
taken. This year the alumni were even
more enthusiastic than ever and dis-
played their loyalty to Yale by the
many smokers given the clubs.
The clubs were entertained as follows :
Brooklyn, dinner at the Hamilton Club
given by S. R. Kennedy. Philadelphia,
smoker at University Club given by
Yale Alumni Association. Baltimore,
tea by Mrs. F. M. Colston, and privileges
of Baltimore Club. Pittsburg, small
dinners and smoker at University Club
given by Alumni Association. Colum-
bus, tea by Mrs. George W. Sinks and
smoker by the Alumni Association.

Albany, tea by Mrs. Norton, informal
supper by Mrs. Burlingame and smoker
at the Fort Orange Club,
The teas, dances and receptions were
all pleasant and it is hard to make any
distinction between them. At the
smokers many alumni responded to
toasts, and in several instances special
entertainments were provided, such as
the humorous selections rendered by Mr.
Seward at Pittsburg.
The audience at the Chicago concert
was the largest which greeted the clubs.
At Albany, where one of the best con-
certs of the trip was given, the audience
rose to its feet and cheered at the close
of the concert.

The merchants of Baltimore have
subscribed $239,500 to Johns Hopkins
University to tide the institution over
the difficulties of the present, which
are largely due to the issue of its in-
vestments in Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road stock.

HARVARD-PRINCETON DEBATE.
For the Third Successive Year the
Crimson Win.
The third annual debate between
Harvard and Princeton was held in
Alexander Hall, Princeton, N. J., on
the evening of Friday, December 18
and resulted in a third consecutive
victory for the Crimson. About 1,500
beople were present and showed a
keen appreciation of the merits
shown in the arguments and rebuttals
of the speakers.
The question under discussion was:
“Resolyed, That, assuming the adop-
tion of adequate constitutional amend-
ments, the United States should insti-
tute a system of responsible cabinet
sovernment.”’ The speakers for Prince-
ton, favoring the affirmative, were:
Messrs. H. H. Yocum, R. F. Sterling
and R. M. McElroy; for Harvard on
the negative, the following men spoke:
Messrs. S. R. Wrightington, F. O.
White and C. Grilk. The judges of
the debate were: Senator Joseph R.
Hawley, Provost C. C. Harrison of the
University of Pennsylvania, and Dr.
Hamilton W. Mabie, editor of the Out-
look. The presiding officer of the
evening was Mr. T. Alcott Williams
of Philadelphia.
The Alumni Princetonian sums up
the debate as follows:
“Tt was a close debate, but Harvard
had the strongest team both in clear-
ness of argument and in rebuttal.
Princeton’s debaters stated their point
clearly and forcibly in favor of their
, System, but were defeated in rebuttal.
It seems to have been won by Har-
vard, because they had by all odds
the best side of the question, and did
not have to prove nearly so much, but
only needed to defend what was al-
ready in existence and in a large
measure satisfactory. It was the un-
dertainty of the position which
Princeton had to niaintain, that made
their part so difficult.”

On receipt of $3 ($2 to cover membership fee in HARPER’S WEEKLY
CLUB, and $1 as first payment on the Library), your name will be en-
rolled for whichever edition you select, and the volumes already issued
will be sent you at once—the others to follow at briefintervals. Owing
to the extremely low price at which the work is supplied to members,
the cost of delivery must be paid by the purchaser. Since the initial
payment is only $3in any case, be sure to state which edition you de-
sire. WE ESPECIALLY RECOMMEND THE HALF-MOROCCO STYLE, which
is rich, handsome, and will last a lifetime—important considerations in
a work for permanent possession and study. Balance on set arranged

outlay. Jf not entirely satisfactory the volumes may be returned with-
in 10 days and money will be promptly refunded.
