Mr.. Lucky, has performed that i'm
portant duty for some months past.
The Olatoncal contest which came
off IN the Chapel Friday eve, Feb. 20,
was well attended. The seats were all
full and chairs had to be brought In
for many who lad failed to secure
seats during the week. The ushers,
two from each society, did their work
nobly. They never tailed to seat a
stranger in the exact seat his ticket
called for, even if they did have to
r0uSt some one who entered under
general admission.
Atabout o'clock Pres Blantou in

was followed BY some excellent music
by the choir, after which the six ora

their decision. The judge; selected to
