'I'lIl'1 YAI.l'l SIHNGLI-I. 97 beneath the glare of the red light which was so lav- ishly supplied. Captain Lawlor and Lieutenant Donovan were in their elements--the rest of the company consisted of Ward and Reynolds, besides the ofhcers and a few Seniors. We marched through all native kinds of mud and many doubtful districts of the town, where our numbers and splendor were our only protection. Sometimes jeers and boots were our portion, at others we found the crowd gen- tlemanly and sympathetic. Very few interesting events are recorded. The election of Cleveland twhich was no doubt assured by the paradesl was most satisfactory to one, while Wayne McVcagh's oration pleased another most. Some men cannot remember minutely just what did occur. One gives this following vivid description of a parade towards its close: Stormy night, deep mud, borrowed suit, long march, vociferous lungs, weary, but patriotic. Another sums up his experience thus: llat burned, feet wet-saw a light. Several men got into trouble on account of handling Roman candles carelessly.

Bon- sall regretfully calls to mind some speculations in real estate which did not turn out well. Bosley and Farrell have each taught school for several years, the former being on the Yale College Faculty for a short time. Freeman, H. B., worked a bank a little dur- ing summers, Montgomery farmed a little, but does not tell whether agriculture pays or not-he quit. Cromer, as has been before stated, was Ofheial Sten- ographer in South Dakota, and Barker held a similar position in New Haven. Clark says, I was my daddy's cashier-quite remunerative to myself. Weiser has helped to support himself by selling old clothes to Moses, whom in turn Morgan has helped to support by giving them to him. Buttle says he was porter on a Pullman car, but resigned on account of the incompatibility of his and the conductor's tempers. Carey assisted his father in paper-hanging and wood-finishing. Reynolds and a few others have picked up scattered Shekels by tutoring to a greater or less extent. Hardy, in consideration of carrying water to the elephants, was admitted free of charge
