THE ANN ARBoR EXCURSION.

Shiawassee county teachers and pupils to
the number of two hundred made up one of
the most refined and intelligent party of ex-
cursionists that eyer left the county visited
the University of Michigan on Saturday last.
AS degrees of civilization are said to be
marked by the decorum and behavior of
large crowds, there certainly can be credited
to this assemblage the very highest degree.
The attention and cOurtesies of the Ann
Arbor line were all that couldbe desired and
with an almost perfect day the excursion
could not have been otherwise than sue
cess. The three extra coaches were filled
before the last stopping point in Shiawassee
was reached, and at 1890 were sided at
Ann Arbor. After picnic lunch the line
of march was taken up through the beauti-
fully shaded streets to the University
grounds.
The museum, with the collections that
have been aggregating for years, could
scarcely be done justice to in the short space
of time possible. The rocks, ores, geologi-
cal specimens, the exhibit of almost the en-
tire animal kingdom, the Chinese exhibit at
the New Orleans Cotton Exposition were
some of the sights.
The library, with its thousands of vol
umes inclosed i'm fire-proof room, the COM
mOdlOuS seminary rooms ana large reaulng
room were visited.
The art gallery with its rare collection of
statuary, paintings and medals and the
whispering gallery were among the numer-
Gus attractions.
Our party visited the observatory and saw
the immense telescope and solar clock, the
latter every morning giving out the correct
time for Michigan railroads. The shaded
campus and matched game of lawn tennis
being attractions for others.
The homeward trip was even more pleas
ant, an impromptu concert troupe being
organized and the ever popular college songs
inimtably. Souvenirs containing
a cut of the University and Shiawassee
county teachers song were given out as
of the University visit Whether
it be in school work or on an excursion, the
teacher is uneXcelled.

BASE BALL AND DANCING.

The salt Lake City Team To Cross Hats
with the Anaconda BOYS.
The Salt Lake base ball club will arrive
In town Saturday and will play the local
team on Sunday afternoon. IL Is ex-
pected that the game will be exceptionally
interesting, as the "Mormonsn have al
ready demonstrated that they are n first
class team by beating several crack mines
In the West. That the Anaconda team is
n good n was conclusively shown when
they played SO close n game with the
Helena club, and lovers of the game need
have 10 fear that they will be
I~,sappo,n;ed IN The RESULT should %,
high board fence will be completed to-day
and will do away with sight seeing from
the railroad track. IL will also lend a
more attractive appearance to the ball
grounds which are now well hardened and
IN excellent condition. Arrangements
have been completed for other attractions
at the park including a dance in the even
ing at b pavilion, which will be given
by the base ball association. The as
ISOLATION is under considerable expense
ia bringing the Salt Lake boys to the city.
Excellent music for the evening has
e secured and all are assured
OF n pleasant time. Ladies will
be admitted both to the ball game
and dancing free of charge, and it is
hoped they will grace the occasion by
their presence, for their encouraging
smiles will materially assist the local boys
TO defeat the visitors. The committees
who ave charge of the dancing i'm the
evening give an assurance of a most
pleasant evening and enjoyable pro-
gramme. II is expected that the boats for
the lake will arrive before Sunday and
those desiring the rare pleasure of a moon
light boating excursion will be readily

IL will he seen that the Miner omitted
reference Ia the fact that Mr.. Lavcll OF
Butte had IA narrow escape from IN de-
rallied coach. and that IL also failed To
give the STANDARDS paragraph relating
Ia the speed of the train and the ordinary
running time between Garrison and Mis-
soula. The omission is easily accounted
for. The Tact is that the reference to Mr..
Lavell and the one TO the speed OF the
train were inserted m the dispatch in this
office. They were given To a STANDARD
reporter by Mr.. w. Il. Gwin of Butte, who
was a guest at the Montana on the eve
ming of the accident, and who, ON his way
from the West, met the Inflated train at
Bonita. This part of the story was there
fore not within the Miner's reach.

ThWarted,

When first We met it was agreed
That we should Danish Cupid.
She thought him simple; so indeed
Did |, and called him stupid.
"And what's the use" said she, ''of his
Impertinent attendances"
Adding, with jest, MY motto is,
A Friendly Independence"
So in the waltz around her waist
She let my arm 90 stealing;
Meanwhile with constant gaze she traced
The cherubs on the ceiling,
And what could not understand
Though ignorance was pleasing
Was that her tiny plump white hand
Did not object 10 squeezing.
