Iolanthe.The second week of the run of "Iolanthe" at the Globe Theatre began Monday night. The performance has gained somewhat in smoothness during the past week. The orchestra still persists in drowning the voices of the choruses, however; this is especially in the first act, where the enjoyment of the opera is often seriously marred in this way.

The freshmen have improved greatly lately, but were somewhat hampered some weeks ago by the lack of a suitable boat. They are not sure of their boat, and often strike the water with their oars. The juniors have been decided favorites for some time. Though their body-work is not all it should be, nor their watermanship clean, they often...

The concert was well up to the average freshman concert the Glee Club sang well, although somewhat unpolished, and the Banjo Club was recalled again and again. Many of the songs were old. "The Moonlighter," by Abbott, '93, of which B. A. Gould, '91, wrote the words, was well received. J. A. Wilder's Hawailan songs were admirable. There was dancing after the concert...
