SMALL CROWD.
A Compile Of Reasons for the Decrease

Crowds.

In the Size of the Commencement
Crowds.
The Commencement crowd is
away below the average and it is
not as large as it was last year when
its smallness was generally remark
ed. The reason for this falling off
in interest may be found in several
directions 1t is die partly TO the
fact that the seniors no longer take
any part in the speaking on Com
mencement day which is done by
some prominent man. The fathers
who have sons to graduate would
come to hear their boys talk but
they do not care to come here to
hear some one else talk for them.
This undoubtedly keeps many PEG
pie away.
The fact that there was SO much
question about the Commencement
Ball kept many OF the society peo-
pie away They were here in mum
bers in former years and have very
good representation now but not
nearly what it used to be. These
two factors together with number
of others due to a change from the
old way has taken a great deal oil

The next campaign in West Vir-
ginia will be the most stirring and
exciting in the history of the state.
Victory for the democrats is proba-
bility and with strong self recon-
mending ticket it would be GER
tainty. The nominee for governor
should be an able man of experience
in affairs, and one whose fidelity to
the interests of the people leaves
nothing to be explained. There are
plenty of such democrats in the state.
But to select the particular one who
at this juncture would make the best
candidate is quite difficult matter.
Perhaps ex-senator Henry G.. Davis
would answer all the requirements as
any other person that could be

Company A came first and was fol-

From Fridays Daily
The closing exercises at the Uni
versity were concluded by the recep-
ton given in the Gymnasium last
night. The attendance was very
large and the floor was crowded from
an early hour until eleven o'clock.
The guests were received by a long
line headed by President and Mrs.
Sturgiss, Mr.. and Mrs Mcmahon,
Regents Lee and Eastman and DR..
and Mrs. Raymond.
The members Of the faculty and
their wives together with the MEM
bers of the Experiment Station staff
with their wives and all connected
in any way officially with the Uni,
versity were supposed to be in the
receiving line and they appeared in
it at sometime during the evening.
The evening was very warm and
this distracted in large degree
from the pleasure of the affair which
in other ways was success The
crowd in attendance WIS representa-
tive one.
The University orchestra fur
nished the music aud this was do
lighttul feature OF the evenings en-
tcrtainment.
The reception began just before
nine o'clock. There were no refresh
ments served.
With this reception the Universe
ty year ended and the big school is
now closed down until the reception
of the new students in July. The
indications are that there will be
quite a large attendance here this
summer and successful quarter
will be had.
The exercises during Commences
ment have lacked much OF the snap
OF former years and this has been
due in great measure to the heat
which has prevented people from en-
joying themselves as they would
have done had the weather been

The contest for the Wiles prize OF
Wednesday night attracted very
large crowd and it was very fine
contest. The first prize of one hun
dred dollars in gold was won by
Chas. 4. Holden and the second be
ing sixty dollar medal was taken
by A. L. Sawtelle, of Wheeling.
The contest had aroused a great
deal of interest and very tight one
was expected. The people turned
out in great numbers to hear the
performance which was OF a very
high order of merit.
There were five contestants all
members OF the senior class as this
prize is only offered to the members
of that class. Messrs. II. w. Horn,
Hauber, Hunter, Sawtelle and Hol.
den were the entries.
Col. r. K. Fast presided and intro
duced the speakers. The orations
were in the main very short and very
good. The musical part of the pro-
gram was excellent and the audience
was greatly aroused over the singing
especially. The Mems Glee Club
was encored twice on their last mum
Der and they made a great hit.
The result of the contest was per-
fectly satisfactory to the audience
and everything in connection with it
passed off as smoothly as possible.
The judges were Prof. A. II. Rey-
nolds, Superintendent, Martins Fer
ry, Ohio, j. G. Work, Esq, of Union
town, and Clayton Purnell, Esq, OF
Frostburg, Md. The judges graded
each contestant separately, without
consultation among themselves and
rendered sealed decisions. These
decisions were opened and averaged
by a committee chosen by the con
testanes consisting of Prof. Hodges,
Mr.. Henry NJ. White and Clyde D.
Barbe.
The prizes are offered by John w.
Wilcs who is leading real estate
agent of this place and an enthusi-
astic graduate of the University. He
has taken much interest in the insti-
tuition since his graduation and this
is one of the many things that he
has done to show his appreciation
