The test of the large ball rooms ca
pacity was thorough. The "play cards."
marked "Grand Spelling Match to-
night" brought forth the entire popula~

of spoilers wis should rally at the tap |
of the drum. Col. S. failed to come to |
time until Good LOO) girl, with her |
smiles and pleading eyes |
r allied him. To the right and to the left, |
the spoilers fell in line until the number |
would not have fallen short OF 80 to the |
side. There were brave men and love- |
ly women, with outspoken willingness |
to digest any word enclosed between |
he lids of Wcbster's Dictionary. We |

from this hidden individuals trump was
sounded. 1t was equal to the terrible
scream of an engine. The fair Judges
near by were deafened to an alarming
,Xtent. Now begins the fun-words
with syllables and words without sylla
hIes, were rolled over in the young
mems mouths like unto hot mush.
Hhe excitement ran high, and the min
ltes swelled into hours before the flag
If truce was hoisted, 1t is hardly nee
.ssary to state that the gentlemen all
vent down before the ladies. How I'M
gallant! just think of it! Gentlemen to
seat themselves and IcGUc the fair creG-
Urcs stating! After the spelling had
