well as large body of students
In the trst event, putting shot, there were four
entries, Rankin, Therrien, Whittemore and
Hindcs. Therrien took first, with Hindes a close
second but for various reasons the records of the
day will be withheld from publication.
In the standing broad jump there were three
entries, Therrien, Hindes and Gilbert, Hindes
taking first, with Therrien one half an inch be
hind, Following this event was the half mile run,
which was easily taken by Cliff, Reynolds coming
in for second place. In the next event, throwing
hammer, Hindes surprised himself by taking
first, Rankin taking second Considerable excite
ment prevailed when Therrien, in the running
broad jump, broke the school record by quite a
little distance.
In the 40 yards dash Therrien again broke the
school record, with Hindes just shoulder behind.
In the standing hop, step and jump Hindes won,
GILBERT second. In the running hop. step and
jump Hindes also took first, with Therein sec

Again the spectators moved to the campus,
where Hndes took first in throwing the base nall,

WE viii speak in detail of nothing this week
w except to remind you that if you want to
be free from flies this coming summer the best
thing to do is 20 get your window screens of us

are even now coming to visit you. We have as
usual several attractive new articles that invite
your attention as you enter the store, and it is
well for you to call in every time you are on Main

Greenfield store, in Columbus building, Federal

ciate the opportunity that we offer them, to buy
goods at small advance on wholesale prices.

 Thomas Francis Condon, aged six months and eight days, son of MT and Mrs Thomas P. CondVn of 9 Summit street, died yesterday afternoon. The funeral took place this afternoon with interment in Calvary cemetery.
 The SiTmess had an suspicious open ing last night. The army of pretty can vaSsers were not tardy in putting in an ap- pearance and the ladies appointed to su- perintend the different booths were prompt in taking their respective positions. The supper served from 6 to s was we'll patro- niZed and Is sure to be one of the best paying departments of the entertainment. Already several parties of young men around are planning regular visits to the Lyceum accompanied by their best girls for the purpose of having a look at the artistic decorations and also to partake of some of the good things prepared by the cooks. The musical programme last night by the church choir and the stage performance by the children of the parish were we'll rem dered and elicited much applause. This evening Miss Mamie Taylor will give soprano solo and the full choir will appear in chorus. The Thespian club will ap- pear in the rollicking comedy Aunt Susan Jones'" Great things are expected of the youthful aSpirants for historic fame. The performance will close by the singing of Morning Invitation," by the entire Thespian club. \ beautiful bride doll was received to-day but no one cared to Say who was the donor. One of the com mIttee told the reporter it was sent there by we'll known bachelor of that section. The chair presented by the St Thomas Cadets is one of the handsomest articles in the hall.
