The Yale batters hit well when - hits were needed and: Fearey again demon- strated his ability as a pitcher, by hold- ing down Brown to five hits, striking out eight men and giving but one base on balls. Sullivan gave him good sup- port, but he is still weak on covering the bases. The work of deSaulles and Hazen was below the mark, but the rest of the team played sharply. Wal- lace and Wear kept up their good bat- ting records and Fearey made the long- est hit of the day, a drive to deep center for three bases. An unfortunate accident occurred in the sixth inning, which resulted in Pat- ton’s, Brown’s first baseman, withdrawal from the game. He fumbled Lander’s low throw and in attempting to regain the ball, collided with Sullivan, the run- ner, and broke his collar bone. The score: YALE. AB. R. H. PO. A.

The Brown team showed up poorly in the field, while the work of the Yale Nine was uni- formly good. The feature of the game was the playing of Gibson, who held the opposing players down to four hits and fielded his position brilliantly. The batting of the Yale team was good and their base running fair. The score by innings was as follows: Ae FO 6 7 Wale, 2001...

The first public performance in New Haven, and probably in this country, of Beaumont and Fletcher’s “The Knight of the Burning Pestle” was given in Warner Hall, Friday, April 29th. The audience was composed of members of the Faculty and their friends, and stu- dents in the Junior and Senior English courses. The play scored such a de- cided success that it must be considered one of the events of the college year. As stated before in the WEEKLy, the play was given last term by members of one of Dr. Cook’s classes, before the English Department. At general re- quest the play was repeated in this public manner yet it was performed in its original, simple way. It is to be regretted that a second performance was not deemed practical, as it was found impossible to meet, in any adequate way the demand for tickets. The last time that Yale students pro- duced a play was in the Spring of 1805. While the joint plays were clever and amusing, the expense and the amount of time necessary to produce them, caused their discontinuance.. The Dra- matic spirit has now reappeared and in a much more satisfactory form. The performance had a decided edu- cational value. As a satire on the plays of the period and the Jacobean bour- geoisie, it is a study in the social con- ditions of the time and a valuable con- tribution to our knowledge of the stage. Judged simply on its merits as an act- ing play, the burlesque held the un- flagging attention of the audience. ~The humor and wit were still fresh and unforced, and the actors could re- ceive no greater compliment than the way in which the audience enjoyed their work. : The staging of the piece and the cos- tumes were simple yet thoroughly ade- quate and reflected in a striking manner the Elizabethan spirit. The acting was decidedly above that of the average amateur performance, and this is all the more creditable considering the fact that there was no coaching done, each actor working up his own part and being responsible for his interpretation of the character. Without attempting a de- tailed criticism, Mr. Padelford as “Ralph” and Miss Myers as the “Citi- zen’s Wife’ deserve special praise. Miss Myers’ acting was an exceptionally fine and intelligent piece of work, the hu- mor of her part never for a moment be- ing carried too far. The play is one of the many signs of the deep interest the students are showing in the English work at Yale. The College is sadly in need of some stage where such performances can be given, yet even under the present cir- cumstances this should become an annual event. Now that it has been proved that an old English drama can attract and interest a modern audience, there is no reason why other neglected works of the period should not be brought back to life. The warmest thanks of the University are due to the pioneers in this movement and Prof. Cook is to be congratulated on the showing of his class. - The cast was published in the WEEKLY of Mar. 31.

They direct him where to go for the necessaries and the lux- uries of life. Some of these traditions become ~ strongly intrenched in a few years, and there is generally a very good reason for it.

Obituary. JUDGE HENRY BOOTH, LL.D., ’40. Judge Henry Booth, formerly one of the best known jurists of Chicago, died at Minden, Nebraska, on Friday, April 29. For several years he had re- sided at Pasadena, Cal., and was on his way to Chicago, stopping about a week ago at Minden, to visit his daughter. Death resulted from a runaway acci- dent. Judge Booth was born in Roxbury, Conn., August 19, 1818. After gradua- tion from Yale in 1840, he taught school one year in Wellsboro, Penn. in Litchfield and New Haven, Conn., and commenced prac- tice in Towanda, Bradford County, Penn., where he resided until the Spring of 1856. In that year he removed to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and took charge of the Law Department of the State and National Law School. In June, 1858, he left this position and began the [Continued on 8th page.
