BenedIction.
The GLOBE would be most happy to give
not only detailed account of the entire pro-
gramme, together with all the orations and
essays in full, but this it will be readily seen
is impossible. 1t is sufficient to say that one
and all of the contestants acquitted them
selves splendidly, and the committee had
most delicate and difficult duty to perform,
where all did so well to decide in regard to
the merits of each. The line had to be drawn
however, and in the oratorical contest for the
Hodgson prizes the lucky contestants were
as follows: First prize, Miss Hattie Garvin;
second prize, D. Fl. Tandy; and third prize, L.
j. Dobner. The decision seemed to give
satisfaction and amid the general con-
CALCULATIONS none were more hearty than
those which came from their competitors.
All the addresses were delverered, not read,
and not single balk or confusion was
observable in any of the speakers. 1t is proper
to say also that the musical numbers, both
vocal and instrumental were excellent.
THE GREEK PRIZES.
For excellence in Greek during the term,
the lucky contestants were: First prize, E.
P. Robertson; second prize, G. s. Parker:
third prize, Miss Lottie C. Gale.
THE LATIN PRIZES.
For excellence in Latin the prizes were
awarded as follows: First prize, Miss Lottie
G. Gale; second prize, Miss Annie M. Dean;
third prize, Ferris White.
AS Prof. John, president of the faculty,
handed each of the successful contestants
their checks for the respective amounts, he
congratulated them upon their success, and
in few well chosen words bore testimony to
their diligence in study and general conduct
during the term, while their admiring
friends presented them with beautiful bouqetss.
The entire exercises were most interesting and
were not concluded until nearly 1 p. m. At
their conclusion and before the benediction
was pronounced, Prof. John extended an in
vitation TO all present to partake of q lunch,
which would be served at 1:30 p. m.
THE LUNCH.
President John called the repast lunch,
but it was in. reality full meal. There was
enough for all and to spare, and the tables
were spread with everything that hungry
man, or even dyspeptic, could enjoy.
CLOSING EXERCISES.
At 8 p. m. there was musical rehearsal,
which was most pleasing and entertaining,
the young musicians, both vocal and instru.
mental, showing the careful training they
had received. This being concluded social
reception followed until 5 p M, when Ham,
line university anniversary exercises for the
year 1882 passed into history.
Little Too Fast.
Charles Barrett and Ohas. Murray were the names
given to the police. They hailed from Minneapo-
lis and visited st. Paul on q big ''bum." Being
"high-toned" they drove down in a single rig, and
evidently thinking they we're Commodore Kittsons
and had Little Brown jug to draw them, they tried
to make the drive at 2:11A gait The consequence
was that their poor horse was driven almost to
death, and because Of his inability to do more the
horse was cruelty beaten. Officer O'Gorman sight
ing the drunken pair and the badly abused horse
arrested the men and gave them lodging place in
the cooler, while the horse was comfortably cared
