(Continued from yesterday's Crimson.)

At 5.45 Tuesday morning every man who was in so early was waked by a loud rap on his door. A series of low groans came from the rooms and then the snap of many incandescent lights. Fifteen minutes later troops of men came hurrying into the dining room where breakfast was waiting on the table. The train for Cincinnati left at 7.20. During the morning there was the usual amount of sleeping and card playing and it was not till the announcement of dinner at Collumbus that the men really awoke. At 12.15 the train rolled into the station and when it stopped there was not a student aboard. The "flying wedge" worked splendidly at the door of the restaurant and the whole company were soon seated in noisy confusion about the tables. Some began at one end of the dinner, and some at the other. It was a case of the survival of the fittest and the competition was consequently very keen. After dinner the men played ball in the station with apples and oranges taken from the table without extra charge. Nothing on the whole trip reflects better the spirits of the club than this incident; all in fun and all for fun, was the motto.

On the ponds and streams by the roadside beyond Columous there was a good deal of skating and many of the following seemed homesick at the sight of it. But the train sped on to Cincinnati. Here it arrived at scheduled time, six o'clock. The concert was very disappointing in every way. So few people knew of it in time, that the Glee Club sang to a mere handful in the centre of the hall while the lonesome tones beat themselves to pieces on the empty chairs way off in the galleries. After the concert, barges carried the Clubs to the train which had been held an hour after its regular time of departure. Even the owls went right to bed.

Wednesday morning at 8.30 the train reached Chicago and rumors of a great house soon put disappointment to flight. After breakfast at the Auditorium the Clubs left for Milwaukee, arriving there in time for dinner and a tea at Mrs. Abbott's. This tea was delightful in every way, many of the men renewing the acquaintance of friends whom they had met last year. The concert was a great success. At half past ten the Deutscher Club opened its doors to the men and received them with a hospitality never to be forgotten. About sixty men sat at a long oak table on which were served true German dishes and beer. Stories and songs gave wings to time till about mid-night when Mr. Sol. Smith Russell came in and took a seat at the table. There was no such thing as time. Mr. Russell and Harvard's funniest man took turns at telling stories and the merriment ceased only when there was sheer incapacity for further laughter. This was one of the best things of the trip.

Thursday morning most of the men returned to Chicago. A few however for reasons of their own stayed till Friday. Milwaukee has been having a long series of disasterous fires and many of the members were comforted by the rumor that all the hotels were to be burned Thursday night. Nothing happened however.

Thursday afternoon Mrs. Mac Veagh gave a tea which everyone enjoyed. In the evening the theatres were well patronized and several fellows went to the Yale Glee Club Concert. Friday morning the clubs were guests of the World's Fair Musical Department, represented by the Secretary, Mr. Wilson They were shown about the buildings and treated with the greatest kindness. At one o'clock Mr. H. S. Stone gave a luncheon to his friends at the "Virginia." It was a delightful affair and will long be a pleasant remembrance to those who first became friends there. After luncheon Mr. Paul du Chaillu, the famous African explorer, entertained the party with stories of his own adventures. A tremendous audience greeted the clubs in the evening- Yale's fence of the night before bore crimson shields till it seemed ready to drop to the stage. After the concert the men changed clothes at the hotel and boarded the train for Buffalo. Up to this time the rails seemed to separate the fellows farther and farther from home; now the rails on which they were hurrying seemed a band uniting them more and more to home and families.

On the last day of the year breakfast was served on the dining car. At 10.30 the train reached the Detroit River and every body left the car to watch the process of being ferried to the Canadian side. Men were every where, on the tops of the cars, on the pilot house, on the lookout. As they neared the Canadian side they sand "God Save the Queen" some reverently, some mock-reverently. All that day there was no excitement till the train reached Niagara Falls just at dusk. Even in the fading light the sight was magnificent and as the men stood on the railroad bank there was a visible change in their spirits. All the levity stopped and there was hardly a joke from Niagara to Buffalo. The train was an hour late, making a quick change necessary before the concert, which was well attended. The Buffalo Club gave a dinner after the concert where the fellows watched the old year out. The new year, only too anxious to take its place, put the men to shame, getting in several hours before most of them.

Sunday morning there were few at breakfast. About noon several men who had written letters and posted them were seen forcibly assisting themselves about the corridors - they had dated their letters with a "2" instead of a "3." In the afternoon the county club opened its House to the Musical club. Mrs Williams gave an informal tea and in the evening the Saturn club invited the fellows to their club house. Monday morning most of the men visited Niagara when, strange to say, the sharks did the fishing, but so far as is known caught nothing. There was a lunch at the Country Club and a tea at Mrs. Gratwick's at which Mrs. Cleveland was present. All but about ten men left for Albany at 9.30. These stayed for the Yale Concert and Ball given by Mrs. Lockwood.

Tuesday morning the men saw the city. In the afternoon Mrs Pruyn gave a tea and there was a ball at the Delavan House after the concert. At 1.20 A.M. the special sleeper was attached to a mail train and the club were hurried away from Albany, each man bearing a special delivery stamp and addressed to the Dean, U. 5. As they were considered first class mail matter every effort was made to get them here as nearly as possible on time and early morning found them at Cambridge somewhat the worse for wear but willing to be sent again.
