The graduating class at Asbury (Ind.) Uni
versity, mixed school, Is greatly excited over
the contest for the valedictory between young
man named Wray and young woman named
IurmaD, which has been finally awarded to the
latter. Wray's friends charge the faculty with
favoritism, to which Miss Turman's supporters

BARNCM is one OF those showmen who be-
heve in not doing exactly the same thing in
exactly the same way twice, and he has conse-
quently added a great number OF novel fea-
lures to the entertainment which he produces
this season, in addition to the attractions which
secured him 80 much applause and financial
success last year. The performances at the
Iiippodrome last evening commenced with
Fete at PekiD, representing reception OF the
Emperor OF China This was very gorgeous
affair, an immense number OF performers,
magnifcently clad, representing the different
phases Of Chinese military and civil life. This
was followed by the Japanese, with their curl
Gus feats OF acrobatism races, English, Ro-
man, ETC., and buffalo hunt. Madame Data

called the - female Samson" excited great APP
plause by her cannon feat as did also the
gymnasts who followed her. One OF the most
interesting features of the exhibition was an
English and American jockey race, although
the race between the monkeys mounted on pc
MES and that between the riderless horses
we're most entertaining. The pertormane con-
cluded with spectacular, panromimic display
illustrative of the story of Blue Beard in
which tho entire troupe appeared, THIS fea-
ture was exceedingly well managed and was
very beautiful. This very imperfect review OF
an elaborate programme will serve to give our
readers some idea of the magnitude OF the
great show, and OF the exteut of the attrac.
tons which Bsrnum offers for very small
price OF admission.-Phila. Telegraph.
