PRODUCTION, which excited immense merri-
ment, Judge Benedict said he came here but

greatness on foot ball. in which they occu-
pied the relations, respectively, of teacher
and disciple. lie was literally brought up
at Judge llale's feet. Judge Benedict
said he had watched the University

of learning could do for the lad what this
can DO.

young men present.
Judge Hale ssid that the fifth Rspresen-
tative, whose name had been omitted by the
previous speaker. was the Hon. Fred f.
