SOPHOMORE DINNER.

The Sophomore dinner held last night at the Hotel Vendome was large than any class dinner given hitherto, and a perfect success throughout. The speeches, impromptu as well as prepared, and the choruses, all tended to draw the class together into a solid unit, so that from the beginning to the end all present united in a feeling and an expression of loyalty for the different organizations of the University, and for the class of '99.

W. H. Conroy answered to the toast of "The Class" with a stirring plea that the enthusiasm and class energy which had hitherto been characteristic of '99 might not be allowed to slacken. B. H. Dibblee made a witty speech apropos of the boat races and the English stroke. P. G. Carleton asked for a more widespread interest in debating. One of the best features of the evening was a poem read by J. F. Brice, which was full of personal hits and allusions.

The following toasts and speakers were announced: "The Class," W. H. Conroy; "Rowing," J. F. Perkins; "Baseball," P. D. Haughton; "The Press," R. Dek. Gilder; "Debating," P. G. Carleton; "The Crew," B. H. Dibblee; Poem, J. F. Brice. P. M. Jaffray was toastmaster.
