EDITOR TRIBUNE:
One of the most happy events in the
history of Caldwell occurred at the
Presbyterian church last Friday even
ing. 1t was field day for the College of
Idaho and it was also the occasion of
the meeting in athletic contest be-
tween the students of Weiser academy
and the students of the College of Ida.
no. Following the athletic sport and
contests, came an entertainment and
banquet which consisted OF music eI-
ceLente, speeches impromptu, wit, hu.
NOR, gay attire, youthful beauty and
classic intelligence. Add to this the
banquet feast, the patriotic decorations,
the college eolOrs, with the aroma OF
pinks, roses and f0rget-me-nots, and
the continual hum of social converse,
led all to realize it to be no ordinary
occasion.
The pleasing feature of the evening
was harmony, order, promptness and
unselhshness. Each one acted his or
her part well.
The warm welcome of the students
of Weiser academy, our guests, was
evidently appreciated. They expressed
themselves as surprised and pleased.
Near sixty OF the alumni of the Col
lege of Idaho were present, and they
mingling with the alumni OF Welser
academy in social converse and good
will. 1t was one of the happiest events
in our history.
Prof. Hayden gave evidence of hav-
ing worked with his head, see the
al0pecea frontallls, but that sardonic
smile of his was but the harbinger OF
ready wit and numerous sales from
the "Boy from Missouri" He played
his part well.
For our entertainment the following

Instructive and Entertaining Event
One of the most pleasant events in
connection with the commencement x-
ercises of the College of Idaho was the
recital given last Tuesday by Mrs. Nor
rison's class, ably assisted by Mrs. w.
II. Redway. In no department does
the college show more substantial and
gratifying advancement than in the
musical department. The quality and
thoroughness of instruction is all that
could be desired. One of the great eff
forts is to cultivate taste for the best. |
Pupils are not permitted to waste their |
time and efforts on trashy stuff, which, |
at best. would enable them only to |
make show for the amusement of the |
uncultured. Under Mrs. MoTrison's |
direction, pupils come to love music
and study it tor its sake only. We can
not separately commend all the per-
fOrmances. Each, in its class, was
equally meTitoriOus and all showed
marked progress. AS might be expect
ed, Mrs. Redway's singing was most
enjoyable feature. We can do no better
than give the program as rendered and
pronounce it excellent, rejecting abund-
ant credit on teacher and pupils alike:

AWCE1Ch>S MbSSAUAA W THO VOAANS
"a spirit of liberty inspired the Pill
grim Fathers when they crossed the |
sea, seeking in an unknown land a
place to worship God according to the
dictates of their own conscience. AS
the intolerance of Europe had awaken
ed a spirit of liberty in those early pill
grims; the oppression which followed
them to their new home fostered and
intensified it in the hearts Of their de-
cendants. The colOnists willingly sub
mitted it to every just demand made
by the mother country, but tyrants al
ways abuse their power, The liberal
charters of earlier colonial time were
revoked, and the governments estab-
lished in their stead became simply
agencies of extortion.
Feeling keenly the ties of kindred
blood and religion, the ColOnists bore in
patience their many wrongs; but the
spirit of liberty could not be suppressed
and at last it burst forth at Lexington
in bold and open deinance of tyranny.
at is needless to tell how the patriots
rallied and fought for their liberty;
how Washington, who seemed sent by
providence, vindicated to the world the
eternal principle of the rights of man.
The deeds of these noble men are fam
liar to every youth in the land, and are
the pride of the American people; but
let us earnestly study the principles
for which they fought, and its effect
upon the world.
while these hardy sons of freedom
were rallying to repel the hated invader
of their liberties, another body of men,
no less patriotic were shaping thefuture
policy of brave and enlightened peo-
pie. Amid the stirring scenes of the
first years of the Revolutionary war,
the Continental congress, after long
and earnest elaboration, promulgated
the Declaration of Independence, pro
claiming to the world the rights OF
man, and the dawn of an era of civil
liberty which should enlighten the
world. What Moore had advocated in
theory the patriots of America demon
strated in fact, and the infant republic
stood forth as the reformer of old sys.
TENS and the model of nations.
America had not given to the worlC
new principle. 1t was but the reViVa
of Greek and Roman liberty which haC
been crushed by tyrants and hidden il
the darkness of the Middle Ages. Blu
to America is due the revival and sue
cessful application of its grandes
conceptions.

last Friday the athletic associations
Of the College of Idaho and the Weiser
academy met in this city to cross
swords in an athletic conflict. The
hattie ground was down on the race
conrse and the contestants were greeted
nv nearly 200 people when they lined
nm for action. The boys all looked fine
and as the sports progressed showed
themselves to be in excellent condition.
Several months had been spent in prep
aration for this event and it is safe TO
saw there was not one present who did
not thoroughly enjoy and appreciate
the sports The only one thing that
aid put damper upon the Caldwellites
was the way the visitors handled our
boys. The boys from down the valley
went into the conflict for all there was
in sight, and, it pains us to state, they
came pretty near carrying off the whole
cheese. We don't want TO depreciate
what the Caldwell boys did III the least,
because all who entered the contest are
entitled to considerable praise and did
nobly, but Weiser did just a little bet
ter. Still our boys showed considerable
skill and the WeiseriJeS had a tough
fight to down them. Only one student
of the College of Idaho came out first
in a single contest and that was Bach.
He was undoubtedly the best allround
athlete of the day aud won more points
than any other single contestant, and
to him was awarded the handsome
silver medal. There were 16 events on
the program. Weiser carried of
twelve and Caldwell four. Those en-
tered were: l.. w. Bach, James Boone
