Splendid opportunity offered for the life work of trained Lampson Suit Dismissed. An Associated Press despatch from Batavia,iN= Ys. says: “A decision was yesterday handed down by Judge North, Surrogate of Genesee County, N. Y., dismissing the suit over the will of Wm. Lampson, 62, who died in February of last year. Mr. Lampson left a bequest to Yale University amounting to about $750.- 000. “An aunt of Mr. Lampson’s, Mrs. Laura Ann Brooks of St. Paul, Minn., has been contesting the will on the ground of the existence of a State laws which forbids foreign corporations to receive bequests where the will be- queathing them was executed within two months before the testator’s death, which was the case in regard to the Lampson bequest. Judge North holds that this law does not affect this case. The contestant will appeal to the Su- preme Court from the decision of the Surrogate.” —_—__+#—___—- Gymnastic Meet.

The concerts will be given in the Hyperion Theatre, and eminent solo- ists will be engaged from the larger cities: The expenses will be greater than heretofore, but the receipts are confidently expected to be larger than was possible in the College Street Hall, which proved insufficient for the audi- ences of the last year’s concerts.

The Class of 1900 at the end of the present term will hand over the man- agement of the Boys’ Club, which is ~run under the auspicies of the College Y.M.C. A., to 1901.. During the time that 1900 has had charge of this work many changes in the system of man- agement have been introduced. The most important change was the intro- ducing of the group system which was originated in the San Francisco Boys’ Club.. Up. to this Fall the only aim of the Boys’ Club has been to keep the youngsters who meet there off the street during the evening, and to amuse them with pleasant games. The group system, however, introduces the instruc- tion in the simpler arts, such as cane seating and Venetian iron work. The groups, or clubs as they may be more properly called, meet twice a week; the Lincoln Club on Tuesday evening, and the Washington Club on Thursday. The boys in these two groups, there are twenty in each, at their first meet- ing chose the name for their Club, elected officers and chose their yell. Regularly before each weekly meeting a short business session is held, which teaches the youngsters self govern- ment, and then the rest of the evening is spent in working at either the iron work or chair seating. The Yale Boys’ Club is indebted to Mr. Rice of the Riverside Boys’ Club of New York, for the information necessary to insti- tute the change to the group system. —_—_——_o>____—_- Organ Recital.
