ROSY. and Col. G. A. Schnier looked "a
handsome as when he had his last pict-
ure taken. And Prot. Schockey-weli,

couldn't get out until the last chorus
was sung; and to Prof. schockey be-
longs all the credit for the careful
training of tho voices that were heard
last evening with so much pleasure.
