WErHAD SOME FUN.

Last Friday was day of considerable ex.
citement to many of our citizens and in con-
sequence some of them neglected to attend
to all their duties as business men. Mr.
F. L. Miller had enjoyed good days bus.
mess and at his usual closing hour counted
up an interesting amount of cash, somewhat
more than usual, and the excitement Incl
dent thereto, caused him to forget to close
the door, which was discovered by Night
Officer McLagan in his regular rounds and
reported to Mr.. NJ, who sent the key to THE
GAZETTE Office for safe keeping In the
ing the forms of the leading paper for press
and with nothing else to do we thought we
would have a pleasant surprise in store for
the merchant who had neglected his duty
the night before, and when he appeared on
the scene of action he found his place in
readiness for the days busness-the floor
swept, showcases and bulletin boards in
place to attract attention of passers-by.
The experiences of the morning convinced us
more than ever that there are benefits to be
derived ftom advertising, for the slight

demonstrated the advisability of judicious
advertising at all times. When the mer

The football entertainment in the evening
at the college chapel was largely attended by
both students and townspeople. The ar.
rangements had been made very hastily,
and as one of the consequences the piano
had been forgotten until the last moment,
and it therefore took the combined efforts
of numerous strong men to carry it from the
ladies' dormitory.
The exercises opened with few remarks
by Pres Bloss, after which Pres. Campbell,
of the normal school, was introduced, and
delivered most interesting and instructive
talk ON ssAthletics IN Colleges" He dem
onstrated very plainly the great growth that
athletics have made during the past few
years in colleges and also the great change
for the better that has taken place in col
lege young men since athletics became pop
ular. Pres. Campbell also spoke of the sig.

Elroy, Judge Boise, J. T. Apperson, John
Emmett, J. K. Weatherford, w. A.
Sample, J. M. App1ewhite and Wallis
Nash. The financial statement laid be-
fore the board showed that funds of the
college were ample for the carrying on
of the school to the end of the present
scholastic year. The matter of the col
1ege money. which is tied up in the sus-
pended bank of Hamilton, Job & Co.,
was thoroughly discussed, and Judge
Burnett, as attorney for the. board, was
invited to attend the meeting. The res
ignation of Dumont Lott as chemist of
the experiment station was accepted by
the board, to take effect on Thursday OF
next week, The members of the board
examined the new buildings on the col
1ege grounds and expressed themselves

as station chemist the members
of the alumni said, that the

have standing in their studies above sc
per cent.
A beautiful piano duet by Misses Spang-
Ter and Samuels was next on the program.
This duet was greatly appreciated by the
audience, as shown by the hearty encore.
Miss Addie Davenport then favored the
audience with vocal solo, sung in beauti-
full style. For an encore she sang that
touching little song, "Tell me with your
eyes,"
The next on the program was high and
low tumbling by two members of the Mon
mouth sthletic association. This feature of
the program was excellent and would have
been worthy of any athletic exhibition.
Miss Dorothea Nash followed with an ex-
ceedingly well executed piano solo,
The next on the program was a vocal solo
by Miss Lou Barnett. She simply took the
house with most characteristic song en-
titled. 'The coasters serenade." For an
encore she sang Watcher both songs be-
ing received with wild applause.
The magic lantern entertainment fol-

loaned to the football boys for the occasion.
These views, with numerous original
sketches pertaining to football, amused and

Now that the O. A. G. team has been so
successful in all the contests they intend
to train hard the first part of next term,
with the expectation of meeting the Pacific
university and the Multnomah teams.
When one speaks of going into ''hard
training" the public at large does not, as a
rule, fully understand what is meant by the
term. Heretofore, while the team has been
in training, the training has only been to
the extent of practicing the players on their
positions and duties. This work has been
thoroughly accomplished. Each man un-
derstands exactly what part he must take so
that a trick can be executed successfully.
While to spectator it appears that the
half. backs do all the playing, this is not
the case. The backs depend on the rush line
holding their opponents until the ball is
safely in their arms and then depend on the

CHEEKY CHRISTMASCHIMES
The Glorious Festival of our
Savior's Birth-Program.

The time draws near the birth Of Christ,
The moon is hid and still;
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other in she (oregon mist.
TEsNYsos.
Of all the holiday festivals which good
citizens delight to celebrate, the one
which draws near is most popular
Christmas, the birthday of the saviour of
the world. This sacred event is ce1e-
brated throughout the civilized world.
Its recognition is what constitutes civii-
zation, and as time grows on apace the
boundaries of Christian enlightenment
are enlarged with creditable rapidity. AS
defined by Webster the term Christmas is
a holy day or feast, and is observed an
nually by the Christian church on the
25th day of December in memory of the
lar service, the festival lasting twelve
days. The custom of extending the fes-
tival over period of twelve days is OBJ
solete and in but few instances does the
celebration go beyond a week. Locally,
the festivities are confined to two or three
days-from Saturday evening until Mon-
day evening-and the manner of the
same is quite varied. as the appended
program of exercises will attest. While
the 1ard times that now o'erspread the
community will serve as sort of him
drance to elaborate displays, the praise
services of the various churches will be in
keeping with their religious beliefs, while
those of the fashionable world Will delve
in the dizzy delights of the dance, where
under the influence of sweet music's
strains the light fantastic will trip gaily
ell bal masque.
AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The Christmas entertainment at the
Christian church will be held on Satur-
day night, beginning at 1880 O'Clock.
