California Debating League. arranging
for annual debates for the next three
years. were signed bv The representatives
of the two universities. Two judges for
the debate were selected by the committee,
Stanford selecting Attorney General Hart
and Berkeley Judge w. w. Morrow. The
third judge was left to the selection OF the
Midwinter Fair officials. 1t was decided
to ask ex-President Harrison 70 preside.
The decision of the judges Will
be rendered on the argument, aid not
on the composition and delivery, except IN
as far as they relate to the effectiveness of
the making of the points. There was
some objection 10 the clause ruling out
from the debate all students who have
taken a bachelors degree, as number of
the students in the college Of law are thus
excluded, but IL was shown that the line
must be drawn at some definite point, and
equality nf preparation could be best had
by allowing the clause TO remain. The
question. 1t was decided, should be selected
by Stanford and sent TO the State Univer-
Sty by next Saturday. Then one week
could be taken for the selection of the
side of the question preferred. The can
didates for the debate in each university
will select the question and determine
upon the side they will support. II was
decided that the Mdwinter FAIR be re-
quested to present a special gold medal for
the occa sion, TO be kept by the winning
college. and that the offer of silver trophy
to pass from year TO year to the winning
college be accepted on certain conditions.

A prominent citizen of Ward Two re- gently had an exciting experience that he did not care to have get into print. This gentleman is very fond of animals, but pet dog and cat could not get along together. So he finally decided to give the cat away, although it tugged hard on his heart strings. He secured a large basket, and finally succeeded in getting the cat tied il. He then tri- umphantly placed the basket in the rear of his wagon and started toward the City hall. He stopped on the edge of Ward One, hitched his horse in front of the house of friend, and went to the rear of the wagon and took out the basket. When about half way to the house he noticed the basket was light, and investigation found the cat had taken it's departure. The lady of the house had meanwhile, been taking note of his discomfirture, so he Twas soon obliged to proceed to the door and apologize. The gentleman from Ward Two is still looking for the cat.
