It will be seen by this table that the Maui
sonians are the winners by two points. The
largest number of points possible for either
society to make was 1900.
The silver prize medal was then presented
to Miss Thornbury by Miss Davenport. The
speeches made by the losing and winning
presidents were exceedingly complimentary
and expressive of the good feeling between
the two societies.
Governor Pennoyer was thea called upon
for speech: lie said he had examined the
programme, but had not noticed that the
governor was down for speech. He had
noticed the appreciation of the audience for
the cortestants, and hoped they would have
the same feeling for the judges. This con-
test reminded him of the ''apple of discord"
with every one striving for it.; but he did not
believe there would any enmity between the
societies as there was between the ancient
gods. In one respect the old times were
better than the new, because at the annual
fairs they had contests and prizes forIntei-
lectual productions ss well as for live stock
and agricultural products. In Greece the
contests were for the best man physically and
intellectually, and that was the reason that
Greece was superior to other nations OF her
day. The governor was glad that Presi'
dent Bloss was following the example OF
ancient Greece, and hoped that soon from
the college would GONE essays that would
grace the pages Of the magazines OF the
world, and speeches that would csptivate
intelligent audiences.
Supt McEroy was called upon for
speech, but only made a few brief remarks.
He said that one thing was certain, aud that
was that they were doing and would con-
tinue to do good work. ~ De"
President Campbell, Of Monmouth, was
called forward, and made some very comph.
mentary remarks. He spoke OF the fact that
this was the first college to take up this line
of work. That the old colleges used to
hold regattas, ETC., but it was only lately that
they had commenced to hold intellectual
contests. ~. .-..

j. A. KNIGHT,

April I'd, at 1:30 O'Clock, in the last eolemns I

enemy and for two weeks his dissolution had
been anticipated to occur at any hour. Ar.
knight was born in Dresden. Germany in
1924 and was consequently 90 years Of aee.
He learned the trade of cabinet maker amk
undertaken in his native land. He emiRrAs-
ed to the United States in lS4T; cafns tp
Calfornia in 1851 where he resided until IoS7
when he came TO Oregon and settled in CsS.
wallis. Hero he engaged in the cabinet snik
undertaking business which he successfully
conducted to the end of his life. He was =
member of Barnum lodge, No. Z, 1. o. O. r.
of 80 years standing, and was regarded as
"the father of Barnum lodge" having becn
one ofits oldest and most faithful champions.
During war times, when its members werB
scattered and public interest gravitated to
another direction, Mr.. Knight would by
personal solicitation, get members enough
together to hold meetings within tho limits
ofthe law, and by this means ho managed
to preserve the charter Of Barnum lodge. and
keep the society alive that was in nfter years
and at the present day is Il prdeful inetit.,--
ton among the histories OF the world. ny.
Knights christian life was identical witbthaS
recounted above, he having been member
of the first Presbyterian church of this city
for the past % years. His funeral occurred
on Monday last, from the Presbyterian
| church, under the. a,lspicies of B.arnnnI
| lodge and his remains were laid to peaceful
| rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery. A wife,
| and daughter with her husband are first in
the list of mourners, but the community az
large arc affected with sorrow at the loss Of
an honored pioneer and a sterling, upright,
christian citizen.
| In connection with the name OF lfT.
Knight, there is q bit Of historical renfnis-
cence that is worthy Of note. Away back at
the beginning Of the war or before, the citi-1
zens OF Corvallis were about to- hold some
kind Of II public meeting, at which they
needed a flag, nor could one be bought for
the occasion. In true patriotic spirit. how
ever, those stalwart pioneer hearts were not
to be dMnted by obdirate deprivation :

community, went to work and made a fagr
and succeeded by hard foil IN getting ix

A lecture will soon be given by Miss Ma

sign when four or five thousand people will

walking, standing and sitting. Yet so con-
vincingly does this Mabel Jenness present
her theme, illustrating her talk with large
number of beautiful costumes worn during

wake, the ash barrels and waste-heaps OF
the land become veritable valley of Jess

VICIOUS RUNAWAY.

A runaway that was about as full of ''split-
and-ginger" as such things usually get to
be, occurred on Second street yesterday az
ternoon. Charley House was driving his
horse hitched to light single buggy down
the street. The animal was jogging along
quietly as you please until it reached point
about opposite Zierolf's store. when sudd ;nly
it went off into spasm OF jumping and
kicking, and scooted out on a 2:05H dash.
The horse made race for the sidewalks,
which it reached just to the south of the
GAZETTE office, where the buggy collided
with an electric wire pole and came up
standing, while the horse shot away from it,
taking the harness and single-tree flying
about him. Lungeing upon the walk the
now purblind brute went laundering down
under the awnings, scattering pedestrians
in every direction and barely grazing sew
eral people who in the suddenness of the
grotesque caper were so badly confused that
they could hardly tell which way to dodge.
He ran on down the walk, crossing Madison
still sticking to the sidewalk, until opposite
Young Americas engine house made
another side sheer across the street to Eglin's =
livery stable, where he again took the walk
and went clattering out to third street. Here
he changed his course again, to the south.
and at last accounts he was going towards
the Mary's river bridge with loose straps
and the single-tree flying in his wake like
the fag end of a cyclone, and for aught the
reporter can tell he may be away down in
Southern California, still running. Linger,
the expressman, barely escaped disastrous
collision, as he with his team were squarely
in range of the runaway and must have
caught the shock but for the pole that stop'd
the buggy only pace or two distant. Luck
lily nobody was injured and it is a marvel
that all escaped. The damage appears to
have been slight. Next!

/ highly appreciated by the audience that it
was almost impossible for them to under
stand that encores would not be allowed.
+; The debate was "Resolved that the inter.
ests in goived in the late civil war were OF
greater Importance to the American people
than those of the revolution" The first
speaker was Mr.. Lyonel johnson, of the
Madisonian society. The arguments he
brought forward were logical and clear and
his delivery was forcible.
The first on the negative was Mr.. Clarence
Depuy, who spoke eloquently, forcibly and
right to the point
The second speech on the ffirmative was
made by Miss Media Dunlop. The whole
speech showed deep thought and study; tho
gestures used were expressive and the argu.
ments brought forward were good.
The last speech was to have been made by
MIR. Marion Wood, but owing to sickness,
his paper was read by Professor Lotz. The
arguments in this paper were logical and
straight forward, and there is no doubt that
MIR. Wood had as good speech as the other
debatcrs.
Mr.. john Fulton now sang a very beauti.
full song entitled 20 ye Tears in his usual
expressive manner.
A very pleasing selection was rendered by
the band, which was followed by piano
solo by Miss Dorothea Nash.

summed up by the judges and was read by
