From the MInneapolis Journal of April 15th, we take the following nutice: The University of Michigan and her housands of Ann Arbor men scuttered roadcast over the land have every reuon to be proud of the young men wlio are lllling the air in the various cities bey visit on their vacalion tour with nusic, cheers for the yellow and blue and he 'varsity "yell.1' The young men areared on the stage of the Grand last ïight, and for two hours entertained a arge audience with a peep into the muical side of college life. The organizaion includes a glee club of 15 voices and a banjo club with elght players. The tiidenls are travelling about in their )vvn private car, giving concerts for the glory of U. of IL, and Incidently of hemselves, gathering ducats for their roposed gymnasium and having a royal ;ood time. The flrst selections last nijfht gave one he Impression that it wns a very studious, aolemn set of youths that sang and hruuinied so precisely and beautlfully. Jefore this impression had an opportunity o becomo a settled one, however, the boys perpetrated some audaclous and unexpected bit of fun which set everyone in a roar ot laughter, and which tickled the 'old boys" immensely. Perhaps the number of this sort that pleased most was the hat drill under J. E. Ball's eadership, and the traversty on it that was given as an encoré. The voices are young, fresh and exquisitely blended, he more musical numbers belng particilarly une. The woeful tale of Horneo nul Juliet, the latter role by a basso of small stature and deep voice, was new to Vlinneapolis people and pleased wonder'ully. Mr. Alexander's topical tale of the rather warm experiences of Dives in "glieollara," his failure to get "brandy ind siidiiiin" and his offer to be satisfied with "uellzer and lemonadium" was very lanirlmblt, whlle Mr. Ballard's oblicato recital of the trials Sócrates and Xanlippi' wasequally well received. The banjo club was accorded a scarcely less enthusiastic reception. Ita music was very cleyerly done and evoked repeated encores. Tl(e thruinmers gave an unusual sort of music pleases as much by lts melody. The guitai' quartettc was feature of tlie program. After the concert the clubs, the alumni, their sweethearts and wives, the members of the Michigan Association proceeded to the West hotel where a dellghtful informal reccption lasling until mklnlgbt was held. ANK ARUOIt OOLLBOE liOYS. The following is from the Chicago Sunday Herald of April 20: Of all the enterlaintnents that have recently been given here by collcce boy?, the one given at Central Muslo Hall laíl evening by the students from the Unlversity of Michigan was by far the most enjo3'able. The songs were fresher, more tuneful, and better smipr, and the banjo and puitar club was decidedly the best that has been lieard here this geason The program was tnstefully arrangcd and of such vaiiety that each namber WHS even more interestiiif; than the one wbich preceded t. The most enjoyable numbers i which the full strength of the Glee Club was cmployed were "Tellow and Ulue," and an ode to the university entltled "Aun Arbor.'1 The sololsts, Messrs. Hawley, Jameson, Joy, Ballard and Ball, were all excellent, Mr. Hawley, who has an uncommon sweet voice, making the hit of the evening with Mis character songs. Mr. Bali's "Hot Drill" was very amusing and admirably cxecuted. In fact, the entertainment from beginning to end was so excellent that the boys from Anu Arbor eau depend upon a warm welcome when they again come to Chicago. Tbc audience was very large and enthusiastic, the entire assembly jolning in three rousing cheers for Ana Arbor at the close of the performance.
