some regret is expressed that there will be no
boat races this week. But there Is not an hour in
the week into which q race could be crowded, Tor
besides the regular college exercises there are
weddings parties and receptions nearly every
night, and the young ladies and gentlemen could
not possibly attend both. The pictures In the art
school are attracting considerable attention The
exhibition will continue for several weeks and Will
undoubtedly be a success, for no pains or expense
mas been spared to make 1t SO.
