The "picnic" game of ball spoken of in
your last issue, was not such a "picnic"
as the Young America would have your
readers think. The nine boys who played
them were in manner babies. Six of
the nine were less than ten years of age.
They also failed to tell you that they
were goose-egged. Nine young men
with that three-curved pitcher, as they
called him, assisted by the umpire, who
called strikes when the ball went over
the batter's head. Do wonder at such a
score. How about last Saturdays picnic.

Readings and Defamation.

The College 0ratory was crowded on
Thursday evening to hear the prize decla-
nation and reading of tho students of
the College. The exercises were opened
with prayer by the Rev. VIM. d. Mackey,
and then the program was taken up.
The declarations were very good. Tho
young men showed that great care and
study had been taken to get the gestures
and positions fully in their possession. 1t
is not our duty to criticiso and therefore
we cannot say aught but praise of the
young men. The young ladies looked
ever so charming, and their reading was
above the average From their manner OF
delivery it was shown that careful study
and labor had been bestowed upon the
subject that each had chosen. 1t would
be rather hard duty for us to decide
which of the ladies deserved the prize.
But as it is not our question to decide, we
can say that We were highly pleased with
the evenings entertainment. The read
ing of Miss Anna Reynolds of Whining
ton, of "Robeit of Lincoln" commonly
called "Bod o'link," pleased the audience
as shown by continued applause, to
which the young lady made second
bow. The judges appointed to award
the prizes will give their decision on COM
mencoment day, June 10. There is $50
in two prizes, one for the young men and
one for the young ladies'. The orchestra
was IN attendance and rendered some
choice selections.
