The Newark spelling Hee


AN INTERFERING CoNTEST-A CROWDED HOUSE,
THE sUcCKssRUL sPKILERs
Special to the Commercial.
NEWARK, MAY 10.
Tie all-absorbing topic Of tho last week, the
spelling bee, came OF on Saturday evening last,
In the oratory Of the college, and,s a. we had
hoped. it was the grandest success that has TAX
en- place In tho orstory for years, filling the hall
to it's fullest extent, and giving general satsfac-
ton to all concerned. The spoilers numbered
from 80 to 80, who took their positions rs set
apart for them. The bee was for the benefit Of
st Thomas Episcopal Church.
Prof. L. ID. Porter acted as pedagogue, and
Profs. Mackey and Holloway ss nmpires. Around
went the words AZ " feed" to the "bees," which
for while they masticated quite easily, but
soon they began to droop, and fall back. The
audience, of courne, laughed and applAuded the
unfortunates; the more comic the spoilers ap-
pesred, the greater tho appliance.
The successful competitors we're " King Bee
and winner Of the LIST prize, William Coech I'd,
Mrs. y. NJ. Curtis Sd, Miss Lizzie Blandy 4th,
Walter +. G. Colt 9Th. Miss Ella Griffith 9th,
Miss Sophia Stone. The one first out received
tin cup. Rev. ]. A. Stone presented the priz.
Oh with some appropriate remarks. Music WAS
furnished by paivate band under the leader
ship Of Cbss. n. vsllandigham.
The entertainment was closed by an excellent
reading from Lewis Bush, Of your city, formerly
student at the College.
We would suggest contest between the col
lege and outsiders for the benefit of the Centen-
NAL fund, or between the students in the col.
lege themselves for the benefit of the bonchos
in the Hall.

She Pennsyivania wheat Crep.

The reports which we publish this morning
from upwards of two hundred different points
on the present condition and prospect OF the
Pennsylvania wheat crop will be Of general in.
terest to all our readers These REPORTS will be
found specially valuable and reliable from the
fact that they give simultaneous view of the
whole field, differing in this respect from the
struggling and detached data collected at differ.
ent periods (and hence Of little value) by tho
Bureau of Agriculture. II will be seen that
in ~ least two thirds OF the localities report.
ing the prospect for . good crop is very dis
couraging, and a near Is can be estimated the
entire yield Of the State will not be more than
half the usual average. Press, Nay
