Daily camera., 1897-02-20

The University Mandolin club opened
the program with we'll executed num-
ber-so well executed in fact that the
thunderous applause had to be answered
by an encore. The club did itself proud
as is its usual wont. The order of speaking
was as follows:
Grafton The Great Victory
A. Watson McHenrie, Colorado College.
Grafton An Appeal to Humanity
Clyde B. Stevens, Denver University.
Grafton Lincoln, the American
John M. Downen, State University.
Grafton Measuring Units
John R. Thompson, Colorado College.
Grafton A Martyr to the Truth
Miss Wilhelmina Mccartney, Denver
University.
Grafton Statesman and Nation

The Denver University Glee club
furnished number in the program just
following Mr.. Downen, which tor origin
ality and excellence of execution, merit
ed and received much comm endation.
They were heartily encored and respond
ed. The program was closed by the
University Banjo club and twas fitting
complement to the splendid work done
by all participants in the event. EN
The Denver Glee club, in response to
request, favored the audience with
another number while waiting for the
markings Of the judges, which was well
received.
When President Bruce King arose and
announced Chauncey F. Bell as winner
of the first prize pandemonlum ensued
and all the yells merged into one wild
chaos. BY special request momentary
lull was granted to Mr. King in which
he announced Mr.. Downen as second
place winner and then the Boulders' Joy
knew no bounds. The victors we're lifted
bodily to the shoulders of several of the
enthusiastic hill men and borne around
the church, amidst the widest huzzas.
The scene was one of widest chaotic
iov on the part OF the Boulder consttu-
ency. The visitors meanwhile discon-
solately wended their way to their special
train with dragging banners, faces and
anatomies. While a natural disapPoint-
ment on the part of the visitors accom-
panied the pheno nenal victory OF Boul-
der, perfect good feeling existed and the
squareness and business of the decision
was readily conceded, The selection of
Judges proved to be an excellent one
and the committee are to be commended
on their choice. The judges elected for
on delivery ale H. L. Reece of Denver,
Attorney General Byron L. Carr of Long
mont and Senator Lawrence, who took
Mr. Joel Vaile's place.
The Judges on thought and compost
ton were President Snow of the Kansas
university, President Hinman of Gates
college, Neb., and President F. G.. Graves
of the Wy oming state University.

versity, president; A. Z, Holt, Colorado
College, vice president; Albert Dakan.

urer.
The varsity students formed in squads
and proceeding to the depot made the
| midnight dreamer wonder if the last day
had arrived. After the train had gone,
the students marched to Pearl street and
it was not until the eastern light was
breaking that the last "wows" floating
away on the brisk morning air indicated
that the Colorado state university had
won the victory ever enJoyed IN
the literary world, and made most ex-
cellent showing in its musical organiza-
tons. enthusiasm and patriotism.
Cheer little, shout little,
Yell little bit.
Did Denver win the contest!
Mi! Nit Nit!
Cheer little, shout little,
