| son Section g. Fisk Section seems to be
getting all the honors.
A dispute has arisen in the Excursion
| Committee over a trifling honor, the ar
| rangement OF the names of the three sec
| tions. each desiring precedence. Fisk
| and Eureka gave joint excursion two
| years ago aud on that occasion Eureka's
| name was in first place. Ivanhoe was not
| then in it. Now the proper arrangement
! would seem to be Fisk, Eureka and Ivan
hoe, the latter having joined with the
| sister sections it would then appear as
Fisk, have found it. WHAT Why,
our good sister Iyanhoe, who was missing
| two years ago.
