GEoRGETowN's ATHLETIC MEET.
Management Promises a Large At
tendance of College Cracks.

The inter collegiate track and field meet
to be given by Georgetown Varsity on
its field on Saturday afternoon, promises to
be the most notable event OF its kind held
IN this city since the holding of the ANA
teur Athletic Union championships on Ana
loStan Isla nd
In addition to the large field of promising
record makers in the varsity itself, to say
nothingof b. j. Wefers, the king ofsprintcrs
there will be Il large Representation OF
stars from nearly all the big 'varsities OF
the country
Manager Walsh has adopted the plan
instituted ut University of Pennsylvania
last season, of having each event run off
on schedule time. An event for each
five or ten minutes Of the afternoon is the
present intention. This innovation h ere will
do away with unnecessary waits which
make this class of entertainment generally
so tedious and draggy.
The discus will be thrown at these
games the first time in college meet in
this country, and both Royce Hough,
medical, and Smith, '99, are practicinG
hard, and will make a strong try for
Shedon's, of Yale, record.
The games Will begin promptly at 2:30
on Saturday Afternoon, and the attraction
of so large number of college athletes will
undoubtedly draw out a l.ree attendance
of lovers of pure amateur sport.

LOEB d HIRSH,
DissOiu uti0n Sale.

We are tired of saying
that this dissolution of
partnership sale is the
greatest opportunity on
earth. y
We are not delighted at
having to sell at 40 per
cent off regular prices, but
the necessity of turning
the stock of clothing into
cash before December 81
necessltates the cut.
On that date the disso-
luton takes place and the
settlements will be made
in CASH. Hence this
sale at 40 per cent off.
TO you it simply means
the saving OF exactly 10
per cent on your winter
suits, trousers, and top
coats.
The sale does not really
include the Furnishings
Department, yet we have
reduced its prices i'll pro-
portion.

From the games played by both teams
and from reports sent ont regarding their
practice il would seem that 7 Princeton has
much the best OF it in all respects Harvard
has had one continual chapter OF accidents,
and there has been no practice with the
full strength OF the eleven a any time dur

ulariy fortunate in this respect and today
her team is considered by many experts to
be the best Of the American colleges.
The backs, while not stars, run beauti-
fplly together and seem content to make
short, steady gains by hand work. The
passing of the quarterback is quick and
accurate. and then the way the line opens

OLD BISHOPS RETIRED.

At the Methodist General Con-
ference held at Cleveland Ohio,
two Of the oldest bishops in the
Conference, Bowman and Foster,
were retired and it has brought
forth no little comment through
the press IN to the cause. Some
very harsh comments have been
made on the action Of the Confer
ence and there are some unpleasant
features about it.
But when we understand all Of
the facts it puts a different face on
it and there seems to be much
more excuse for the aston. 1t is a
fact which al have observed that
age comes upon us so slowly and
our mfirmities so unobserved that
we do not realize or know when
We have reached the end of u
usefulness. Bowman and Foster
were both quite old and inirm and

A BILL has passed the legisla-
ture Of the state Of New York in
cooperating the cities Of New York
Brooklyn and a number of the
smaller cities on Long Island under
one incorporation, to be known as
"Greater New York" This will
contain 100000 people and Lon
don alone exceeds it IN population,
1t will contain 1000 churches and
$50 public school buildings and
will start out with a public debt
Of Sl70,000,0O0. It seems that by
the act each city retains its own
government and rights as at pres
ent, but there is also a superior
government over all, which will
have certain general powers over
the consolidated cities, similar in
effect to the Federal laws over the
states.

The Crop prospect was never
better for all kinds of gram. fruit

United States. While it is a little
dry in some localities, generally
an abundance Of rain has fallen
this spring. The eastern part of
this state has been thoroughly
soaked a number Of times and the
crop outlook is first class. The
next question is will there be a
market for this produce sufficient
to consume it at prices that will
give the farmer q little surplus.

ATTEND THE

The State Convention will be
held in July at Huron and we
would like to see as large a delega-
ton from the Hills as can possibly
attend and it is a question. as to
just how many can be present on
account of the great distance and
expense of getting there as our
people will not be able to secure
passes as did our republican breth-
eren. In our opinion the best way
to go is across the country by
teams to Pierre and from there by
rail. In this way Il full delegation
ought to go from these counties.
Let those who would like to attend
in this way talk it over and make
arrangements with others. This
would be a pleasant trip and would
be inexpensive.

FRIDAY, NAY %, 1896.
THE

The Fourth of July will soon b.
here with its usual round Of sports
and amusem ents in every com.
munitv from the Atlantic to the
Pacific aud from Mexico to
British Columbia. Shall we cele-
brate here at Rapid IS being dis
eussed by the press. 1t seems the
proper thing to do, to at least have
one day in the ysar where our citi-
zens may meet and talk with each
other in some other capacity than
the bitter combat of business-a
sort of relaxation day, but it is
quite doubtful If at this time any
very elaborate celebration can be
arranged for here, owing to the
dullness Of business and the gen
eral scarcity of money.
1t is almost out of the question
to arouse the OLD time enthusiasm
IN a Fourth of July celebration, at
which the reading of the Declara-
ton of independence, enthusiastic
orations and the singing Of
patriotic songs compose the pro-
gram: this seems to have lost its
hold on the American people. It
has been III disappointment to
stand and witness large crowds at
these celebrations, walk indiffer-
emily away from the ceremonies
and turn aside to the more frivo-
lous entertainments as if they had
no interest in the old story of
Independence. In our opinion
there are many reasons, for this
part IS but a natural growth away
from the subject, but the greater
reason springs from a GOODNESS
among q great mass Of the people
towards the powers that 5e-to-
wards the government. It is but
natural for sensible men to feel
that there is something wrong with
the ruling powers, when they mus.
see their families in want and mis-
cry, in need of those n%ecessaries
and comforts Of life, which are
wasting all about them simply be-
cause there is no one able to buy,
while they are forced into unwill-
ing idl~ness. Is it any wonder
that such men do not throw up
their hats and yell themselves
hoarse, for a government which
they believe to blame for their un.
fortunate condition? Somel Of
these feelings may be unfounded,
but We desire to say that many of
the evils can be rectifed and the
great number of people realize it,
and will some day make it impress
i've.
