shop work, were ordered. Under gen
eral repairs, money was appropriated for
finishing off a room in the top of the
dormitory for the Delta Tau Delta lit
erary society. This is the Oldest society
in the college and as one of the profess
ors represented They didn't give it
to them, they owed it to them" Ar
rangements were made so that students
will be accommodated after the first Of
September, even though the new hall is
not quite finished Come on, boys.
The College Cadets went to Pine
Lake last Friday and returned Saturday.
They were commaded by Capt. Inger.
soil prof. of Agricultural and went to
try camping out. Accompanied by the
college band they first took circle
around to the Professors houses, then
to the field where the G. & L. H. r.. II.
crosses the farm, where they took the
train and rode to the lake where q
steamer carried the baggage across to
the place of encampment, the boys
marching around. 1t was something
new for the boys to be under guard,
this being their first experience under
strict military rule, and some fun was
made when the unruly ones tried to
"run the guard" Only one cadet sue
ceeded in getting away, and he dared
not return until morning. The young
Californian was then put under arrest,
fed on bread and water, and not allowed
to even speak to the friends whom he
had invited up from town to see him in
his fine clothes, with all the airs of u
green cadet slung boldly on. Three
dress parades were taken, several com
pany drills, and large number of squad
drills. They returned Saturday after
noon by the route that they went. All
were we'll satisfied, terribly hungry,
completely tired out, and willing to
wait until next term for another en-
campment. On returning to the college
grounds three rousing cheers were given
for the excursion, three for the band,
three for the captain, and three for
Mrs. Short, who gave them the rations
and three for the commissaries who
dealt them out The whole was grand
success, and an experiment which did
much good and no harm to any one,
(no one got drunk), and one which
promises to be often repeated IN the
future. 1t is expected that an officer
will be detailed from the regular army
for the college this fall which will make
military tactics part of the school, in
accordance with the conditions of the
land grant made the college by the
Legislature, and which is ons of the
conditions of its organization.

on HORSER.YCK,

1t was about FIVE o'clock on morn
ing in July that | started on horseback
to ride to town, from village about
twenty miles from New York, on the
old Boston road. 1t was the cool morn
ing of what [ knew would be hot day.
The dews of the midsummer night had
laid the dust of the roads. The time
was gone for roses, and few flowers were
to be seen in the gardens as | passed
along. The blinds of the houses were
shut, the inmates not being awake yet.
One of the agreeable peouliarities of
horseback riding is that in this way OF
getting about one learns the points OF
the compass, and obtains some notion OF
the geological relation to each other OF
the various regions traversed. We know
that, if we walk along a certain road or
pavement, it will take us to place one,
two, three, perhaps four miles away.
But to reach point thirty miles oil,
there is but single method known to
the experience. This is to buy ticket
and take seat in the railway car. The
ticket is punched few times, and the
traveller arrives at his destination, all
the while having had no more notion Of
north, south, east or west than sultaua,
who, sewed up in bag, is shot from
the window of the seraglio into the
Bosphorus The traveller by railway
only knows that he leaves one familiar
spot, and in little while finds himself
at another. 1t gives him novel sense
of liberty and independence to discover
that, by following a certain beautiful
road, his horse will surely carry him
the distance between the two places.
" A good man on q good horse is SER
want to no man." says the Portuguese
proverb. He mounts when he likes,
rides at dawn, noon, evening, or by
moonlight, aud no conductor calls the
names of the villages as he passes Il.
