There was nothing soporific in connection with the annual celebration of the alumni of the University of Rochester yesterday evening on the campus circle in front of Anderson Hall. Even the bronze replica of Dr. Martin Brewer Anderson, which was the pivot of strings containing hundreds of electric lights, seemed enlivened for the nonce. More than five hundred alumni gathered on the circle, many of whom came from the far places of the earth to revisit their alma mater for the first time in years.

Incandescent lights and Japanese lanterns, together with the canvas walls the inclosure and the "hot dog" stands, gave the circle circus air and most of the younger alumni did little a to mat the illusion. The class of 1913, into fresh the from circle its with reunion a fanfare celebration, of burst while the decennial and duodecennial celhe horns, ebrants made less noise, but had just as good a time. There were graybeards who received their degrees nearly fifty years ago looking around for their class trees and proudly pointing out the elms to younger graduates. Alumni Council Proposal. Judge J.

Owners of property in Clinton avenue south, between Main street east and Court street, yesterday professed ignorance of a rumored undetaking to extend Temple street through to Clinton avenue south. Not since the summer of 1913, they said, had they heard of any such plan; and it was their opinion that bullding changes to Clinton avenue south now make the idea impracticable. The rumor deals only with the extension of Temple street, a little known thoroughfare having one end In Chestnut street and its other end in Cortland street.

Its 1 extension to Clinton avenue only would not seem to do much toward relieving the pressure in Main street, and continuation through to South avenne could not be aecomplished easily or Inexpensively.

It owns, too, a correspondingly large strip in Cortland street, Alvaro L. Thompson said yesterday that no news of the Temple street extension had come to htin.

T. A. Smyth, who owns property on the west side of Clinton avenue south, made the same statement. AUTO PLUNGES INTO DITCH Two Men and a Woman from Rochester Injured Near Batavia. Batavia, June 13.
