Last evening, according to the -
torn followed every year on the ev'-ii'.i .,
of June 15, the Yale freshman ria-s
'handed over the sophomore fence to iti.j
anew sophomore class, that class on this
occasion being '99. As Is generally
known, there are three class fences on
t.he campus a senior fence, a junior
fence and a sophomore fence. The
present "fence" extends alone' the wall;
from North college to the west end o
Durfee. The original "old fence" was,
however, the fence which enclosed the
southeast corner of the campus before
Osborn hall was built on the site. When
the . old fence was torn down to make
rooiin for Osborn hall there was no
"feitjce" for over a year, but finally the
frequently expressed regrets of alumni
and undergraduates at the loss of that
time -honored institution led the faculty
to decide upon building a fence whlcn
would take the place of the old one, and
in the fall of 1S93 the present fence was
built.
The sophomore class each year selects
a member to act as its spokesman, who
in an appropriate oration hands over
the fence to the freshmen, while fie
freshmen in turn select a member of
their class to accept.
The orations began last evening at 7
o'clock, and at that hour a crowd ot
several hundred students occupied the
space in front of Durfee, where the ora
tions were to be delivered, while in the
windows of Durfee were numbers off
ladies on hand to hear the orations and
see the fun.
The orator selected by '98 to hand
over the fence was J. H. Scranton, and
the one chosen by '99 to accept was E.
T. Noble of Wichita, Kan. Mr. Scran
ton spoke as follows:
MR. SCRANTON'S ORATION.
We have no doubt, gentlemen, that
you want the fence. You've always
wanted it. It is perfectly natural that
a class like yours, which always wants
anything that it can rest its hands on,
should occasionally want something
upon which it may rest its feet. Yet,
believe me, gentlemen, you almost fail
ed to get it. Ninety-eight saved it for
you. You were so obtrusive when you
came here that the rest of the college
wanted you to get off the face of the
earth, so we decided to put you on the
fence. At the first faculty meeting
held last fall the president exclaimed
with a sigh of relief, "At last we have a
fresh subject for discussion." But af
ter you had been here awhile and they
knew more about you the faculty didn't
want you to stay. They said they
could get along without a freshman
class this year. But '9S objected. We
told the faculty that such a course
Would take away from them a great
source of pleasure and would also
spoil our beautiful system, for at pres
ent '98 sits on her fence, soon '99 will
sit on her fence, while the faculty sit
on '99. And we thought ythe good old
customs ought to be kept ijh.
But I must leave these general re
marks, and like the Greeks before Troy,
I must hasten to the horse. Yet in
disclosing your history to a forebear
tng college it is hard to know just where
to begin. You have so many stars,
some shooting stars, some stars that
often get shot. Like Long Island sound
you offer room for many jibes. As the
best way out of my predicament I'll be
gin at the beginning. That ought to
suit you, for where are you yourselves
but at the beginning?
Before you came here last fall we
heard large rumors of your greatness.
People said you were to be the biggest
class on record. We said the freshest.
And after you had arrived we found
the rumors were correct. You certainly
were the biggest class when counted
per capita. And often as we looked
across the freshman gallery in chapel
and observed the sea of nodding heads
we were tempted to remark with the
girl upon the seashore, "What awful
swells."
You had not been here long before it
was generally known that you were an
athletic class, yet you were very quiet
about It, and you increased rapidly in
modesty. We visited you often and
helped you to get acquainted with each
other and with the town. You were
shy and often retiring (or about to re
tire), but we urged you on. We prais
ed you we even flattered you. When
i you shook your fists at us, refused to
1 go out, and declared that your heads
were level, we gently asserted that they
were absolutely flat, and that your
faces were built upon the architectural
lines of a commons pie. Thus, as I
say, your gentleness increased until
you even blushed vividly whenever you
1 were obliged to turn up your trousers.
It was at about this stage of your ex
istence that in large herds you wan-
; dered to the lake, and like the snail of
wise Instincts, you crawled into your
shell. But right here let It be said that
as between the shell of the snail and
the eight-oared shell of the freshman
crew, '98 offers odds on the snail, with
good prospect of winning. And yet we
would not underestimate your oars
men; they are a goodly lot of men.
Though like the duck when moulting it
is rather hard for them to feather, yet
they are a noble set. It is with some
trepidation that I venture to speak of
them. I know that Windy Abbott has
his eagle eye fixed on me. I do not
dare to smile lest he smile, too. Those
of you who have seen Windy smile
probably understood the paragraph
which appeared In a New York paper
last fall declaring that since the advent
of the new freshman class certain

and as a member of the class he Is
quite too small a matter to mention.
In fact, I should not speak of him. but
every little counts.
But now we must pass to football, for
after all like Trilby you get there large
ly with your feet. You did well upon
the gridiron; we honor you for it. You
proved in fact that although you may
and often do make a bull of athletics
yet you stand in no fear of the tiger,
and this under the present circum
stances is very encouraging. In speak
ing of football, you doubtless expect nie
to mention Harvey, and Harvey prob
ably expects it too. They say that
Clark regarded himself as so essential
to the success of the team that he used
to lock his door each night and go to
bed with his lingers crossed for fear
somebody would steal him away. Then
there's groehy Connor, one of the few
men on the team who did not belong
to the medical school or the Bible class
if I may dare to mention these two in
stitutions in the same breath. Connor
is that well known gentleman who was
refused admittance to D wight hall be
cause he contended that Abraham went
to the Valley of Sichem for the pur
pose of seeing a dog fight.
Upon the diamond you are famous for
lots of things. Lack of space and per
haps lack of appreciation of the ridicu
lous prevent me from mentioning nil of
them. Even early in the spring when
the beautiful snow, spotlessly white,
was decorating the campus, you were to
be seen flitting, lightly clad about the ;
town. And when a respected resident
asked who you were and was told that j
you were the Yale freshmen hnsrbll J
team just beginning to work in the cage,
"Cage," said he, "well they ought to
be kept in their cage." Yet the team
could not conceal its identity long. We
soon learned, for instance, who the
Heckers were, a name of which we had
heard in the dim past as Identified with
a particular brand of oat meal. The.
twins are very fond of each other. One
of them actually refused to pay his
term bill because his brother was not
invited to the president's reception.
Then I must also mention Joe Ware;
in fact he especially asked me to speak
of him, and I am glad to gratify his
whim. But when I promised to men
tion his name he asked me to pronounce
it distinctly for he did not want to get
mixed up with his room-mate West.
He said he was the king of the fresh
man class and he did not care to share
his honors with anybody. Yet Joe is
a most generous sort of a fellow. He
even parts his hair in the middle be
cause as he says he is too fair-minded
ever to agree to a one-sided arrange
ment. As I look upon your well grown feat
ures this evening I feel that it Is not
wise to say too much for it is very
evident that there are more of you than
there are of me, and I have no desire to
borrow trouble. You yourselves are
noted for your borrowing. In fact,
since you came here this fence is the
only thing you have not touched. Your
prominent men whom from long prac
tice have gained proficiency in this art
are numerous, but none are better
known than Upton, who believes that
because he lives in what is called a
commonwealth he is always at liberty
to take the loan of five or ten, without
regard to previous acquaintance.
There are many other little games,
too, in which you excel us; one in par
ticular often played without the joker,
at which we could never beat you. The
reason is quite plain, for while our re
sources are limited, you, as you will
observe by a close inspection of Durfee,
can easily draw any number of queens.
Freshmen, in the years to come we
expect much of you. From head to
foot, including both, you are fearfully
and wonderfully made. At prfsrnt next
to Savin Rock you are the most popu
lar feature of New Haven. But do not
let that make you unduly conceited
for they say that Dante wrote his "In
ferno" after a short visit to Savin Rock.
You are an attractive class. You even
drew some men from '9S, some men
whom we had fondly cherished; men
whom we were sorry to see go, but with
whom we were forced to agree when
they declared that they needed a little
refreshing. In this class the genial
Brastow is particularly prominent. He
is an authority upon prep, schools, be
cause of the large number which he at
tended. And whenever, as often hap
pened, he suddenly and unexpectedly
left one of these instil utions his class
mates would sadly gather round him
and woefully yell "fire." He might be
called the Hephaestus of '99 in that he
has been falling, as Milton says, "from
morn to noon, from noon to dewey
eve," and some people say he is going
to get dropped again. Right here a
word must be said of the talkative
Dewey, the man who is taken on the
Glee club trips in order to supply the
members with wind when they, meet
with a reception warm enough to take
their breath away. When discovered
some distance off Dewey is usually
greeted with the same exclamation with
which the mariner greets the whale,
"There she blows!"
Gentlemen of '99. this probably inac
curate summary of some of your lead
ing characters. Including a few of our
own late lamented, cast-off characters,
is completed and now '9S hands down
the fence to you. Yet do not imagine
that you have won it hands down. Take
it gratefully, for now you can do it
safely without needing '97 to urge you
on. Guard it well. P. wear by it; don't

will perhaps ever find In the midst of
the very stamping ground of our de
mocracy, upon the simple structure
which we give you now, the Sophomore
fence.
THE ORATION OF ACCEPTANCE.
Gentlemen of 9S:
In the first part of your freshman
year your home training still manif. st
ed itself. Hut those charitable t. as
given you by some one of those charit
able ladies who took pity on your lone
liness had a bad effect. You became I
vociferous, even arrogant. The intoxi
cating effect of lukewarm tpa, without
a straw, was too much for you. You
lost all sense of the artistic and beau
tiful, so much so as to Imagine that
your own discordant shrieks and yells,
were more pleasing to the audience
than the Glee club concert. For this
act you were deservedly chastised.
But let us draw a vaile over your
last year's record. It was but the first
step, and this year the university was
I made unpleasantly conspicuous by an
J outsider's natural inference, on seeing
I you In your new-born dignity of pipes
! For such unwarranted clouds of ashi ;
! and smoke ascended from this very
' fence that the more religiously minded
, townspeople thought that Vale consist-
ed only of a cinder path and some sul
I phurous oiles, with his Satanic Majes
ty, the man of many languages, who
rooms alone in Berkeley, addressing his
pulling and prostrate minions In
French, English, Sandwich and Hobo
ken. Poor '98! You could not expect to
stand against the last and best class of
the century a class whom the Good
Book did not forget to mention Ninety
and Nine. You are proud of your ath
letic record, but, alas! we have beaten
ery record you have ever made a
football team that went through th
entire season without losing a game: a
baseball team that defeated you wltn
ease: and a crew that will lead Wis
consin from start to finish. But I for
got you pride yourselves on your row
ing. Yes, you have a strong pull, but,
unfortunately, It is not with the fac
ulty. The mental strength of your
oarsmen is not in equilibrium with
their physical. When they exercise one
they lose the other. Accordingly, you
have to call upon '99 to fill the empty
places in your boat when you wish to
row.
Your only real track athlete, your
hurdler, obtains his wonderful form
from nature. When a small boy he
dreamt that he saw the cow jump over
the moon. This seemed a favorable
portent, and ever since he has been
imitating that graceful animal admir
ably. High, the silver tongued orator, from
Honolulu, is next on the list of your
loud men. He and Buck, and Weston,
blow gales about the campus. Whoever
wrote, "Man wants little here below.
nor wants that little long," didn't know
Buck. They changed waiters at his
table at commons, the other day. and
when Buck came in and yelled, "Bring
me four dinners and a gallon of soup,"
the waiter fainted.
In direct contract to your prim,
nicely fitted men, like Frederick van B.
and William Whiting A., whose blue
blood is easily discernible under a
microscope, is the strawberry blond",
who is always so conspicuous on great
occasions. After a careful diagnosis ot
his case, we have come to the conclu
sion that his tailor is blind. He is es
pecialy noted for the fit and number of
his golf suits. While speaking of your
valiant marshal and great occasions let
us stop a moment and consider how and
why it happened. Your display was
beautiful. Cavalry, infantry, artillery
and foolery. From the amount of fuss
you made one would think that you
really thought you could play baseball.
As the poet has so fittingly said: .
On you came with banners flying, and
your goat was almost dying.
Stately tread and great ado, simply
that and nothing more.
While you wildly thought us napping,
we were you more sure entrap
ping. Either base ball, or at scrapping,
vou're not in it any more.
Why why It thus. I muttered, and the
bird it simply uttered:
Hecker's Oatmeal," nothing more.
Can there anywhere be found one as
"Beautiful, as sweet!
And young as beautiful, and soft as
young'
And gay as soft' and as innocent as
gay?"
Wherever you go it is hard to 'dodge
Marshall and his pipe. He first became
attached to it, because it placed him be
yond the possibility of a doubt, and now
there has grown up in his kind and ten
der little heart a genuine love for his
inanimate idol.
Of your singing it might be said
"Discord oft in music makes the sweet
est lay."
And of your singers
"Swans sing before they die; 'twere no
bad thing
Should certain persons die before they
sing.
There is Gren, who
"Utters such dulcet and harmonious
breath," "that mighty orb of song, the
divine Brewer;" Marshall, the boy so
prano, and last but not least, George
otherwise known as "Dutch."
"His voice more gentle than the sum
mer breeze
That mildly whispers through the wav
ing trees."
In a literary career you started out
boldly. "The Kipling club was found
ed for the puiyose of promulgating a
literary appreciation in the sophomore
class." All well and good. "The Stev
enson club began on a somewhat differ
ent basis, meetings being held once a
week, at Billy's restauiant, but after a
time this plan was found impractic
able." Outsiders are left to draw their
own conclusions. The question is now,
whether Mr. Kipling cast any reflec
tions when he wrote.
I
"That youth is fractious and whiskey's
tlintious,
An' there's nothin' certain but the
mornin' head."
With Lit. heelers you are well sup
plied. There Is Herbert 1 . CI., warbler of
poetic prose.
Lord, w hat a man Is he, and
"Trilby, whose name shall live In epic
song
While music numbers, or while verses
have feet."
Gouveneiir Is
"One whose extraction from an ancient
line
Gives hope again that well born men
may shine."

spiration will do It,
"Our homespun authors must forsake

And Shakespeare to the linsey-woolsey

Scrawny Tonimie of Yamlerbllt, Is a
horoscope, has a keen Insight Into the
hearts of the ladles. He fusses and
loves to analyse prominent men. He
has submitted a few samples, on condi
tion that 1 do not use last names.
Gren was born under a full blast of
the constellations. Terpsichore seated
at the harpsichord, Orpheus singing,
"Just tell them that you saw me," with
calliope on first bass. He has a good
figure, is fair, with lleliuholtx resonator
In his nesophagus. Dresses well, but
looks host In a vacant room. Should
avoid the society of Indies, and think
ing of himself. If persistent and takes
Delsarte. may learn to sing, but doubt
ful. Would do good work as a dry
goods clerk, but will succeed as choir
boy in the Salvation Army.
Garry was born with both dippers
full. Apollo and Jupiter shooting craps
for the drinks and the milkyway sea
soned with nutmeg. Is below the me
dium height for children of his age, and
should wear knickerbockers to keep up
appearances. Has blue eyes, a sunny
disposition, and curly hair. Would do
well as a professional ball player, but
will succeed as leading lady in Steve
Brodie's "On the Bowery."
Del was born during haying time,
In the Flysian fields, the sun shining
In all directions, and Venus feeding
Ganymede Mellln's Food, with a silver
spoon. He liar, not reached his full
growth, and will rapidly decline if he
cats more than three meals a day. His
Roentgen photograph shows a hashed
brown complexion, and a fat skeleton.
Should wear a chest protector, and ear
rings. Will do well as a soubrette.
Ham. from Madison, was born under
the sign of himself; the milky way
curdled. Vulcan roasting chestnuts and
Aphrodite reciting poetry on the top of
Mt. Athos. He Is tall and fair, with
black half and a manufactured smile.
He Is gentle, refined, courteous to
otl'.ers, and has traces of genius. Talks
through his hat with case, and does not
think enough of himself. Ts the soul
of generosity, frequently giving him
self away. Should avoid writing poetry
and putting himself on Record. Looks
best dressed In his right mind, and if
forced to it will give offence.
And now. In all seriousness: Gentle
men of '99: Let us feel that our meet
lug here and talking and singing and
smoking (it needs he) will make a
stronger bond of sympathy and friend
siitp between us. Ami when it comes
our turn to hand over this fence to the
first class of a new century, may we tie
able to say: "We give to you a tradi
tion which has for many years fostered
the manly, democratic spirit of this
university. It has done much for us;
may it do so for you. Gentemen of '9S

New York, June 15. A crank walked
into the Bank of New Amsterdam, at
Thirty-ninth street and Broadwa
shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon.
and, after demanding ?il,000 from Pres
ident George II. Wyekoff, shot him in
the abdomen.
The man then shot himself in th
neck. Both are dangerously wounded
and may not recover.
The crank afterward described him
self as George Clark. He refused to
give any address.
Before shooting President Wyekoff,
Clark handed him this note:
"We want S6.000, five in $1,000 bills
and ten in $100 bills. I will shoot
you make a false move. Be careful
My partner has you covered, and

The note was written on a sheet of
Marlborough hotel paper. It was un
signed. President Wyekoff's office is in the
front of the bank facing Broadway.
The shooting was done within sight of
the street.
President Wyekoff, after reading the
letter, refused to give the money to
Clark, and the latter then shot him.
The police believe that Clark is in
sane. At the New York hospital it was
said that his condition was more seii

recover, although his injuries are very
serious.
