THE UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS.
The examinations for students desiring
to stand examinations for entering the
state university were disappointed yes
terday in the failure of the examinations
to arrive in time for them to stand them.

were not delivered to Maj. Crowther in
the city but to another address. The
consequence was he did not get them
until yesterday, when it was too late to
put them up. Maj. Crowther has the ex-
aminatiOns in hand now, however, and
the students named yesterday will have
the pleasure of standing them tomorrow
