...interesting to see how thoroughly awakened Yale is to her need for improvement in the art of debate. The last contest with Harvard has apparently made defeat do longer endurable, and every effort is being made to provide such training as may prevent its recurrence.

The costumes will be of the best material and are being made in New York. The cast will arrive next Wednesday, and possibly there will be a short rehearsal in Sanders Theatre that morning of the cast and the supernumeraries, so that the latter may be perfectly sure of their grouping and side play. Mr. Baker has made it a point to reproduce many customs of Jonson...
