A splendid house greeted the students
of the University ON the occasion Of
their second entertainment. The neat
ly printed programme called first for a
class recitation of Cicero's first Grafton
against Catalina, but it was explained
that at the last moment it was decided
that tho class should postpone their
recitation for some other time. Prof.
Bradley, by request of the class, recited
in their stead, the poem entitled ''Sheri-
idan's Ride" In manner satisfactory
to all. This was followed with class
recitation by six girls, entitled "The
sculptor Boy" The gestures, express
sions and accent were in perfect har
mony. The names of these six young
ladies' who distinguished themselves
are as follows: Cora Gromley, Linda
Meekea, Laura MCPHERSON, Leila Gar
field, Nora Leonard, Tiny Wright and
Carrie Korn.
The drama was now commenced with
a scene In lawyers Office. Mr.. George
PaykS. took the part Of Office boy, and
In very comfortable position he solilo-
quized on vast good time lawyers have
in general, and his employer, Robert
Morton, in particular. The lawyer was
finely impersouated by j. B. Denny. who
seems highly fitted for that avooation.
The part OF Mary Drayt0n" was admir-
ably executed by Mics Nettie g. Powell,
who has appeared favorably before the
public on several occasions. Edward
F. Powell, in the part Of "Harry Dray-
tom" was tho hsro indeed. His gait
and manners were very natural, and he
seemed every whit sailor. The drama
was very Interesting and seemed to give
satisfaction to all.
The choral GLASS did justice 70 them
selves and Aheir leader in full chorus
entitled 1.-THE Sailors Return" Miss
Ida 0ivler in a recitation, "Tom, the
Drummer Boy" won for herself high
sncomiums Of praise. Tho next thing on
the program was song from the Sing
vsrein Arion. All the members not
being present, Prof. Bradley was again
called to the front. He vas greeted
with great applause, and rendered "The
Creeds Of the Bells" in such . manner
% to receive hearty encore, TO which
he responded nth . humorous recitA.

Hteinle director, sang one Of their many
German songs, which was repeated
after q hearty encore. The eloCution
class presented . beautiful picture, and
recited in way to reflect credit on their
instructor. Thar mhjec1 Was "Tell'a
Address 20 his Native Hilla." Next
