%FIELD-DAY ~PKOGRAMME.
The Boys at st. Peters Cathedral School Had
Good Time.

The pupils Of st. Peters Cathedral school
and the Association of ex-Pupils of that insti-
tuition were IN gleeful ecstacy yesterday. The
occasion was . feld-day at the Exposition
grounds. and the small boys and youths
skipped. jumped and ran about the place like
50 many Sioux Indians. and added 70 the
pleasure by diabolical yells and alr-sphttlng
shouts.
They couldn't keep still two minutes. but
pranced about with unbOunded pleasure. and
from baseball 10 foot-racing. lemonade 70
sandwiches, they filled the programme. and
at s o'clock left the grounds with beaming
countenances and tired limbs.
1t WAS g O'Clock in the morning when they
marched to the grounds under charge Of tho
Brothers, headed by the Cathedral School
Fife and Drum Corps and the First Regiment
Band. Some OF the boys IN the procession
wore base ball suits. While others decorated
themselves with flaming colors- and as a con-
sequence the procession possessed almost all
of the variogated cOlOrs Of a circus pageant.
AS soon as the grounds were reached the
nun began. There were none of the gentler
sex 10 interfere. and. as a consequence. the
boys were free from restraint. Nobody with a
clear soprano voice broke the air by yelling.
Johnny. get of the fence or you boys
stop throwing rocks" o Of this occurred.
None Of these sounds were heard. The boys,
so long as they kept from danger, were al
lowed 10 climb. jump. yell and run without
interference, and the Brothers, who have done
so much for their moral and intellectual train
ing, looked on with pleasure as the little tel-
lows INDUCED in physical culture.
About 10 o'clock the games began. and there
were many exciting contests. The base ball
games were, perhaps, the most interesting.
The Stars defeated the Columbus by a score
of twenty-eight 10 eleven. and in the game
between the e1-pupils and q picked nine the
latter won by a score OF nineteen to eighteen.

THE BONSACK SUIT.
disappointment TO Many When the Case Was
Dismissed.

It was quite a disappointment to many peo-
pie that the suit Of the Bonsack Machine
Company against Allen d Ginter incorpo-
rated was dismissed in the City Circuit Court
Tuesday. Lawyers and tobacco men espe-
cially were hoping 20 ear the arguments from
the learned counsel. and when the attorneys
who had made the agreement announced that
the suit had been settled, a shade Of disap-
pointment was apparent on the faces of the
witnesses.
The compromise was effected between Mr..
D. -. Strouse. president of the Bonsack
Company. and the attorneys OF the Allen q
Ginter Company. Both sides declined on
yesterday 10 say more than the fact that the
Richmond firm had paid the claim of s35 900
and q large bonus. The amount by outside
persons is placed all the way from t4O,O 600 to
100000. but the exact amount could not be
learned.
One question that seems 10 have been set
Tied by the suit is the charge oil royalties 10
all large cigarette companies by the Bonsack
people. .and further resort to the court is
not likely To occur.

Az IMPORTANT DUTY.
In ancient dramas the chorus bore an i'm.
portant part. They did not tread the stage
nor occupy the tiers of risiuu seats. They
gathered in he orchestra. and their work was
to sympathize with the actors. cheer them in
desDOniency. advise them in perplexity. and
at the same time be their interpreters to tho
great a~udience-polnt out the moral lessons
Of the drama and give effect TO the perform
ance.
Such I conceive TO be one important duty
of the alumni Of o college. TO come up once q

the changes and improvements. hold up tho
