The concert on Tuesday next prom
ises to be rare treat, Don't miss it.
Miss May Russell, of Saginaw City,
spent Sunday with her friend Mamie
| Cook.
a telegram was received few days
since announcing the death of Ray
Miller's father at Lansing. Ray was
home at the death.
Saturday being the anniversary Of
Miss Gelston's birth, some of the ladies
presented her with lovely boquet
of flowers ordered from Saginaw.
The girls seem to be passionately
fond Of wild flowers; almost every day
between to 6 p. M, some go TO the
wood to study nature and obtain the
coveted beauties.
Rumor says that Senior Props. are
very busy in preparing for the happy
day which shall graduate them from
the loHly position of Props. to the
higher rank Of Freshmen.
The violin solo by II. A. Milliken at
the concert on Monday night, was
thoroughly enjoyed by all who had the
pleasure of hearing it and was an ex-
cellent advertisement for the concert
on next Tuesday night.
Rev. L. +. Jacokes, of Lyons, and
Rev. c. II. Jacokes, of Ithaca, visited
Misses Mabel and Katie Smith, of the
College, on Tuesday. The visit was
entirely unexpected but thoroughly ell
joyed as any one could tell from the ex-
preston on the faces Of the girls.
Miss Mary Logic was taken i'll sud-
denly on Monday and so was unable
to take her part at the concert. Miss
Eva Quick very kindly consented to
take her place, and did so with great
credit to herself-the notice being
given her but a few minutes before
time to appear Miss Logic is GONZALES
cent, but looks poorly.
The Y NJ. c. \. PRAYER meetings,
held each Sunday p. IN. at O'Clock in
the College, are a source of great spirit
ual strength to those who attend. We
cordially invite all young men to meet
with us and help us in our great work
of preparation, by communing with
God and our fellows, for active work in
the salvation of the souls of young
men.
The concert given by the Athletic
Association, on Monday night, was a
very enjoyable affair, though not as
well patroniZed as it should have been.
The stage was nicely decorated with
sporting goods-guns, fishing tackle,
oars, ball clubs, bicycles, tennis imple-
ments, etc. The whole program was
good but Babcock carried off the laurels
with his delivery of Bridget Donahue"
and "Socery setting the hem"
In the absence of Pres. Hunting.
Rev r. 7. Lynd filed the pulpit of the
Presbyterian church, both morning and
evening of last Sunday. 1t was very
trying position to thus stand before
his fellow students but he acquitted
himself nobly. The sermons both
showed thought in their composition
and this with the speakers ready de-
livery, full toned voice and deep spirit
uality, cause us to predict for him a
brilliant future in this, his chosen work
of preaching Christ and Him cruci-
fed"
The base ball game on Monday be-
tween the College team and the lst
nine Of Ithaca, was won by the College
with the score of 19 to Is. 1t was the
hardest fought battle the boys have
had this year, but they ''got there just
the same" The battery work of
Church and Morgenthaler, after the
lst inning, was simply immense. The
boys have never been beaten yet and
if they keep up their team work as they
have thus far, it will be hard matter
for club of their age and weight To
get away with them.
