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.”

Symphony Orchestra Concerts.
A guarantee fund of $2,500 has been
collected to insure a series of five con-
certs by the New Haven Symphony
Orchestra, for the present musical sea-
son.
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.
On Thursday afternoons, at 4 o'clock,
the concerts will be given, and will be
conducted as heretofore by Professor
Parker. The first concert will be given
men.
Write for particulars.

The Yale Boys’ Club.
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.
