The MSjwaukee Sentinel of Tuesday has
the following to say of the University Banjo
Club: There was lively "pan panking'
Of Banjos at the Grand Avenue Consregat-
ional church last evening where large
number of people had gathered TO enjoy the
entertainment of the University of
Wisconsin Banjo and Guitar Club.
The club comprises six young
men, besides there are four guitars, a soprano
and violin soloist. The singing of Miss
Gussman was specially pleasing and the rest
of the entertainment was made up of frozen
note of banjo, mandolin and guitar and
liquid note of violin, the latter being played
with great success by Miss Nettie Booth.
The Erminie potpourri by the Banjo club
proved an especial favorite, although ap.
plause was liberal and frequent throughout
the evening.
Last Saturday evening about two hun
dred people gathered in Simmons Hall to
witness the walking match between Dan
O'Leary and Thos. Dwyer The first thing
on the program was the Smile go-as-you-
please lace, open to Kenosha boys. None
of the boys seemed inclined to enter the
race, so the distance was reduced to three
miles. Two Chicago fellows had come up
for the purpose of running this race. The
boys disliked to see the prizes carried off
by outsiders without a struggle on the part
OF Kenosha, so they persuaded Ed Johnson
to make the race. When the word was
given, the three men started off and it soon
became evident that the Chicago fellows
would more than have their hands full to
win the race. Ed Johnson won, making
the distance in twenty three minutes. A
Chicago fellow who gave his name as Deer
came in second About eight o'clock the
ring was cleared again and Messrs. OLeary
and Dryer appeared on the track dressed
for the match. OLeary appeared to be in
good trim and carried but little superhuous
flesh, while Dryer carried more weight
than was good for him. At the word both
men started at good gait O'Leary took
an easy, yet rapid gait, and kept it up with
out variation except on the last mile. His
walking was as regular as clock work and
he reeled off mile after mile in the prettiest
fashion. He closed his seven miles in an
hour and five minutes and was apparently
as comfortable as when he began the race.
Dwyer took good steady trot and con-
