STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, May
9.-The feeling of Joy here over the result
of the last intercollegiate baseball game
yesterday is almost as great as after the
recent intercollegiate field-day. The base
ball game was by far the finest played by
either team this semester. Stanford had
found that her continued supremacy was
likely to receive rude shock and all stu
dents here felt thrill of uneasiness when
the team left for San Jose. The result,
however, left no doubt in the minds of
any one that, while the two teams are both
good, Stanford's is the superior. All the
members of the team say that they were
forced to play their best game or meet with
defeat and they determined 10 win if hard
playing could do it.
With the track events at San Jose and
the baseball game athletics for the year are
over, so far as the two colleges are con-
cerned. Never before has Stanford had
so many victories to her credit. In not q
single athletic event has she been defeated,
with the exception of the freshmen foot
ball game. On the other hand she can
point to four intercollegiate championship
victories, all won within the last two
months.
The seniors are making elaborate prepa-
ercises. The seniors farce, entitled can
Intercollegiate Affair, is being rehearsed
daily, and those in charge promise that it
will be the finest performance of its kind
ever given at Stanford. The farce itself is
said 20 be unusually clever and original
in its IDEAS and situations, while most of
those who Will assume the several roles
have proved themselves decidedly clever
amateurs. Another feature of the COM
mencepent week exercises will be the
sophomore freshmen peace making. The
event is to be made more interesting this
year than last by the introduction of many
new ceremonies.
The geological laboratory is in receipt of
another collection of fishes from Jam aica
sent by missionary-H. @. Roberts. This
is the third collection sent by Mr.. Roberts,
whose work Is being done under the
auspices of the Hopkins fund. The new
collection is said to include several very
rare specimens OF marine life.
Several collecting expeditions are 10 be
sent out from the university this summer.
Rutter and Schofield, two students, intend
to visit the most likely points in Alaska in
the interests of the laboratories, while
other students will work in the Northwest
States, making collections of fishes and
mammalia. It's quite possible that several
other expeditions will be formed later to
| carry on work at promising points in
Western States.
DR.. Jordan stated to-day to CALL repre-
sentative that the chair in law, left vacant
by the resignation OF Professor Woodruff,
would not be flied this year. An assistant
would be appointed by Professor Abbott,
head OF the department, to carry on the
work next year. but no appointment to the
chair would be made until $4,000 could be
offered to some first-rate law professor.

merriam selections was rendered in manner
