The Sophomore prize defamation given at
the Baptist church, Wednesday evening, was
awaited this year with unusual interest, since
it was known that there were several contes-
tants for the prizes. The exercises were ex-
ceptionally fine. There was scarcely a point
in it that could be severely criticised. The
committee on awards Consisting of Prof
Elder, Prof Warren, and Rev. Mr.. Bellows },
have an unenviable task before them 1t is
absolutely impossible to predict their decis-
ion. Justice would seem to require that
there should be at least prizes instead of ..
The following persons are about equally men
toned for the prizes: Dennison, Farr,
Thayer, Philbrook, True, Aldrich and Owen.

tably at the piano.

RAILROADS.

Chicago. Oct. 20.-The railroad war
loses nothing in activity. The Wabash
made fifty cent rate to st. Louis to-day
which neither the Illinois Central or Alton
would meet. At this rate the Wabash
must pay least fifty cents brikge toll for
each passenger it secures. The announce
ment of tho Alton road that it would give
cheap rates from Kansas City and st.
Louis to the principal sites of the East
seems to have caused something OF panic
among the Wabash officials. for they have
ntterly y refused to meet the reduction.
The Atoms rate is on the basis of $lS ,25
from St Louis or Kansas City to New
York. The previous rate has been $26. so.
A nong other cities which are benefited
by the Atoms reduction are Boston,
baitlnore. Philadel phia, Columbus. Crest
line. Dayton, Wheeling, Louisville. Wash
inRton. Buffalo and Detroit. The
New York meeting of Presidents
telegraphed to-day TO discon.
tinue the sale of unlimited ticket;
this had been already done. The Alton
road, which seems to be forcing the fight
which was forced upon it. claims that it
can continue It's present gait indefinitely
rs its business has increased SO largely
that it loses little or nothing Two eastern
lines have offered to prorate with them in
their cut to eastern cities, If this should
be accepted and the cutting east goes on
it is difficult to see how other eastern
roads could keep out of the fight. It is
understood that the Wabash is ready to
declare truce on any reasonable basis,
and whenever such Intention is announced
the fight will probably stop,
NEW YORK. Oct. 20.-The differences
between the Wabash and Chicago, Bur
lington Il Quincy railroad companies in
regard to the extension of the former
