THE SOPHOMORE EXHIBITION.
Annual Exercises at the University of
APP piled Politics.

Learned Professors Sit by on the Platform
While Promising Young Men Deliver
Their Essays-President SWEET Presides.
Last evening occurred the Sophomore
exhibition at the University of Applied
Democratic Politics in this city, Since
the founding of this ancient seat of learn
ing, its various exhibitions have COM
manded general public interest. But
it may be said truthfully, without in
Ju stice to any past generations of stu
dents, that the performance of the pres
ent Sopohmore class last evening was
by far the best yet"
None of the accessories of a great
academic event were wanting. The
American Cadet Orchestra. with its
stirring strains, prodded up the emula
lions or the fears of the young orators,
and even stirred the veteran faculty, I'M
til no one could even have suspected
that there was moss on their backs.
The floor and galleries of of City Hall
were filed with a large and proud audi
ence of mothers, fathers, sisers, brothers
and sweethearts of the young orators.
Of course the programme was not lack
ing in fsw disappointments. .One or
two of the young gentlemen had been
excused, it is said, because their par
ents feareds the excitement would have
an unfavorable effect upon their hearts.
But as this is common in all pro-
grammes, it did not occasion great dis
appointment.
