The H. P. C. Trip to New York.

During the recess a large number of the Hasty Pudding Club went to New York to give two performances of "Joan of Arc," in aid of the Boat Club. Most of the men went on together in a special car by the Albany railroad, enlivening the way by singing, story telling, etc. Headquarters at New York were made at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. During Monday, Tuesday, and part of Wednesday, this hotel was gay with college men; for besides the members of the company other Harvard men were there, and before they left, the Yale nine put in an appearance, preparatory to playing a game with some professionals in New York city.

Monday morning a final rehearsal of the play was held for the benefit of the performers and orchestra alike. The play was given in the little theatre of the University Club which accommodates about 500 people. Both nights it was crowded with enthusiastic audiences who thoroughly enjoyed the treat prepared for them. Both times the play was voted by them a success, and the actors, principals, and chorus, certainly did themselves great credit, singing and acting in a spirited manner. The Evening Post said in its account of the play: "No description can do justice to the performance, and it is expressing the truth but faintly to say that the large audience was deeply moved by it." All the New York papers spoke very favorably of the play. The party left New York on the Fall River boat on Wednesday afternoon. At 6 P.M. a special supper was served on the boat, the "Bristol," for the Hasty Pudding men, after which they entertained themselves and the passengers by several songs, and banjo selections in the after-cabin. The club arrived in Cambridge yesterday morning after a most enjoyable trip from beginning to end.
