The coming of the celebra ted Gle
Club of Franklin and Marshall college,
which will give one of their splendid en-
tertainuents in Twins Opera Hall, on
Tuesday evening, March 9th, has ex-
cited much interest among our music
lovers, as they know from past expe-
renee that this will be all that the most
exacting could desire.
This club is composed of twenty men,
bers selected with great care TOR their

Their recent tour through south western
Pennsylvania elected the praise of the

from which we give as follows;

to lovers of melody and which called
forth repeated encores.
From the Bedford Gazette.

w, M. A, FIELD DAY,

OF recent years much attention has been
paid to athletics in American colleges.
It has rightly became a part OF our college
curriculum 10 train the physical as well
as the mental man. Health n strength
are two great levers Ia securing an edu-
cation, and should go hand In hand with
mind and study. Like all new methods,
athletic sports, upon their advent met
9th serious objections from all sides.
They fought their way into college circles
against n strong opposition, but the
American educator is not quick to throw
aside any reform that comes ladened with
good for the American boy. Thus college
athletics, making its way through the
objections and over the obstacles, has
G 20 be IA liked part Of college educa-
ton. and upon the principle that the
body as well as the mind should be kept
sound, 1t is a blessed thing that they have
come. Wentworth Military Academy
always to the front, and always noted for
giving n general education, has to "A wise
and reasonable extent encouraged athlet-
its, not to the extent of taking away from
the books that work that should be given

dialect was predominant. He rendered it
well. Walter is n very bright young
man.
Arthur l.. Falcon possibly made the
hit OF the evening in his recitation, "rhe
Old Actors Story" Falcon possesses the
characteristics of an actor, and would
make a success If he should turn his
attention to that profession. He was
loudly encored, and responded with a
selection in the negro dialect.
One OF the prettiest features of The
entertainment, followed. 1t was n drill
in the military exercises by twelve of the
cadets. The movements were eXecatcd TO
the music OF a piano, and were fully up
to the standard OF military training.
The quartet sang "Give Me my Own
Native Isle" is a very creditable manner.
CAPTAIN j. A. Anderson then entertained
the audience with n well written Grafton.
He chose for his subject Rough is the
Course that leads to Honor's Goal" lie
said that man found life a sea of struggle,
n too many men gave up in despair
rather than try to succeed in the face of
great obstacles. His Grafton was well
spoken.
The quartet again appeared, and were
greeted with applause. 1t consisted OF
Messrs. DeArmond, Anderson, Carr and
FitZhugh. They all have excellent voices,
and sing in perfect harmony.
The Grafton, "Heavenly Vision,'' was
delivered in an eloquent manner by
Charles Meyer. This young orator is
gifted with a strong voice, is graceful on
the stage, and possesses much personal
magnetism. His address was a strong,
clear, logical one.
Mr.. j. 3. Laurie was the valedictorian
and his address to his fellow-students was
one of the best OF the kind we have ever
heard. He paid a fine tribute TO w. Nj
A.. and her faculty, and eloquently and
pathetically bid the cadets, faculty and
people Of Lexington farewell.
A number of the cadets then appeared,
and gave an exhibition drill in the
manual of arms. They were under the
command of Captain Payne, and exc
cuted every order in a soldierly manner.
The last number on the program was
the awarding of diplomas and medals.
Major Sellers in an appropriate address
presented diplomas to j.. A. Anderson
q. =. Blackwell, Cliff Cameron, A. l.. Fat

and j. s. Laurie.

Thus closed a years work, one that ha'
peer satisfactory to pupils, patrons, facul
ty and curators. Judging the future by
the past, we predict for w. II. A. a bril-
liant future career. We look at it's rosie

W. M. A. COMMENCEMENT.

The annual commencement OF Went
worth Military Academy occurred on
Thursday evening, at the opera house.
Wentworth IL the oldest military acad-
envy west OF the Mississippi river, and
one of the best In the country. The year
it has Just closed Is one OF the banner
ones in its history, and Is an honor to the
honored founder whose name 1t bears,
and also to the superintendent, faculty
and students. The graduating class this
year consisted of ten as bright and intelli-
gent young men as have ever been record
ed upon the roster of this institution, and
the graduating duties they performed
were well up to the standard OF academic
entertainments.
No academy in the west Is better
equipped to train young men for the
great universities. The W.. nj. A. faculty
selected by Major Sellers and the board
of curators with regard to intellectual
qualifications, and ranks high with the
faculties of other institutions. Major
Sellers. the superintendent, 10 o fine
scholar, and an upright, courageous gen
discharge the duties OF his Office, and
throughout his connection with the
academy has given general satisfaction.

At o a. m. Thursday. the battalion was
