Unanimous Choice of MIR. Hinkle-
The wit of ,S7 to Give the Fence
to ,SS.
The exercises at the fence form a pleasant
part of student life and the fence orations
are awaited with interest. Last year 'o7,
while merging from the green fields of fresh
han year into the broader pasture of sophie
moric dignity and ignorance, received the
sophomore fence from the hands of 'o6 with
neat little speech by Mr.. Charles M.
Hinkle 1t was one of the wittiest produc-
tions that the fence ever listened to, and we
are glad that Mr. Hink1e will "be up the
stump" again this year in order to hand
down the dignity which graces the. sophie
more fence to the class of '88. The class OF
's7 at a meeting last evening reelected him
fence orator unanimously by reclamation.
ALI the wit of '8S must be concentrated in
her fence orator if the thunder of '87's repre-
sentative is to be withstood.

FROM SICILY.

A Handsome Schooner and Her Ee-
centric Namesake.
A prominent Fair Haven oyster dealer long
resident in Baltimore sends the following
from the Baltimore Sun of Monday, April
81:
Odors suggestive of the orange and lemon
groves of Sicily that nestle under the shad-
ows of Mount Etna filed the air at Freder-
lex street dock Saturday, where a busy scene
was presented at the delivery of 5,O70 boxes
of oranges and $3.50 boxes of lemons, brought
from Messina in the American schooner John
II. Tingue, Captain ]. M. Seaman, and con-
signed to Messrs. Dix & Wilkins. Oranges
brought from 1926 to $3.50 per box, and
lemons from $500 to So. So The bidding was
spirited and the whole cargo was disposed of
| in half an hour by E. Soper, auctioneer. The
wharf and sidewalk were filed with boxes of
the luscious fruit, and a train of wagons
load. The schooner John H. Tingue, which
brought the fruit, is a handsome Yankee
clipper. of 525 tons register. With her arrival
III Baltimore she has completed her first
round voyage. In November the Tingue left
Charleston, S. c., with 1880 bales OF
she made in thirty-fo days. It was the
first opportunity to develop her sailing
qualities, and her log shows that on the pas
sage she made as much as thirteen knots an
hour Her best work was 270 miles day.
The vessel was launched in Fair Haven,
Conn, on September 10, 1884. She was
named after John H. Tingue, rich and &C.
centric manufacturer of Seymour, Conn
who died on the 18th inst. This eccentric
man discovered secret of making plush
from the hair of the Angora goat and his
factory, the only one of the kind
in the country for this use and the
| largest in the world, gave him profit of
| 81 200 day. The cabins of the schooner
which bears his name are lined with his
plush, and at her launch 1 ZOO persons were
present by his invitation and sat down to
| dinner on her decks. During his life Mr..
Tingue paid out 81, 500 to girls for strings OF
$500 buttons each, no two of which were alike.
This strange collection Mr.. Tingue after
wards had mounted and presented to the
State. His chief delight was in distributing
| fruit and money to street children. The
Tingue band, of Seymour, composed of many
of his employees, were uniformed in plush
made in his factory. Little Maud Seaman,
who christened the Tingue, and her mother
are on board the vessel, and have made a
pleasant voyage to Europe in her. On Thurs
day Captain Seaman entertained on board
members of the firm of Dix & Wilkins, and
also the Rev. Mr.. Kennedy, of Pennsylvania,
who was attending the Baltimore Presbytery.
