Evening-oratory and Dancing.

The Danish people of the city had
their outing at Calder's park yesterday

low or constitutional independence OF

ish people in 1S49, when Frederick VII

ment. One thousand people were at
the park, and all had a royal good
time.
The programme began at o'clock,
when Apostle Anton III. Lund, in the
native tongue, spoke on the subject OF
''Grundloven.' The speaker discussed
the 1000 years history of Denmark in
interesting style, reviewing from Come
the Old, the first king. up to the presl
ent century, when King Frederick VII
of free government.
]. NJ. Sjodahl of the Deseret News
spoke of the doings of the Danish peo-
pie in Utah. and his remarks were lis
tened to with much interest.
A poem, In Honor of the Day writ
ten and recited by DR.. c. p. Kjerbye,
was next on the programme. 1t was a
very one ana received Well
deserved applause.
The crowd then adjourned to the BIZ
cycle track, where the Terrible Swede''
showed what distance he could cover
in one hour. In that time he rode
twenty-five miles and 1872 yards.
At $50 in the evening a comical pan
tomime farce held the boards in the
dancing pavilion. 1t was entitled
''Pjerot's Fatalities" and was given by
a local cast, ably assisted by Mile. de
la MARI, who came here from San
Fransico especially to appear in the
production. All the parts were well
taken, and considerable amusement to
the audience was afforded by the per-
Torrance.
Then took place the grand cake walk
Numerous couples participated and
considerable interest was aroused. J.
Paul and partner, Miss Kronow, were
considered the most capable couple and
were awarded the prize, a large cake
of very appetizing appearance.
The cake walk was followed by the
Introduction of John Lawson, the Ter
rible Swede," who made a handsome
little speech and was cheered to the
echo.
Dancing was then the order of the
evening, and continued till IL O'Clock.
In the balloting for the most popular
gentleman and lady, Apostle Anton II.
Lund received 81 votes, and was fol-
lowed closely by Consul Peter Hansen
with 81. Miss Emma Jorgensen was

SNDM0RE IS AGAIN INSANE
WILL PROBABLY GO TO THE
ASYLUM.
Has Developed Acute Mania and
Physicians Now Believe That No
Operation Will Be Successful.

There is little hope for the recovery
of Samuel r. Skidmore. the injured
mail-carrier Since his third removal
to the Holy Cross hospital on Saturday
he has shown no improvement, and it
is likely that he will be committed 10
the state insane asvlum at Provo.
DIR. Root, who is in attendance upon
the patient, said last night that there
was very little chance for him to re-
gain his reason. After being taken
home from the hospital he developed
acute mania, and his family was un-
able to control him. On reopening the
wound in his skull, ii was found that
the former operation had been success
full, that the aura matter had grown
together as was hoped it would do. But
that had not removed the trouble, so
that it is believed the injury he sus-
tanned affected the brain itself. and no
operation can be performed to heal that
damage There is a slight chance that
with careful treatment at the asylum
he may, in time. recover.

The first of the twenty days session
of the county board of equalization TO
hear and determine complaints of ex-
cessive or erroneous valuations OF tax
able property. was held yesterday. The
procession of compliments was not
large, but the reductions in values or
dered footed up to $3.50 the greater
part of the attachments being on mort
cages. Widows and INDECENT poor per-
sons seeking relief were not in evidence,
probably because of the general knowl-
edge that until the state constitution is
amended to permit the legislature to
provide by law for making attachments
to such persons. the board is powerlesS
to grant their prayers for relief.
Organization Effected.
The equalizers, Commissioners Raw
line and Whitaker. organized by elect
ing the first-named chairman. Commits
sioner Armstrong was absent on ac-
count of illness. County Auditor Wood,
by authority of law, filed the Office Of
clerk of the board. County Assessor
Quinn and Deputy w. p. Jennings
were present in an advisory capacity
A resolution was adopted providing
that notice of intention TO either raise
or lower the assessed value of property
shall be given by mail, addressed to
the party whose property is affected
by any proposed action, such citation
to be answerable within five days.
In eleven cases improvements were
reduced in value 81. 115. the largest item
of reduction being of $1,000 on NAL
uuist's blacksmith shop building, on
Plum alley. owned by the Brigham
Young Trust company. A number Of
other applications for reductions in
value of improvements owned by the
Brigham Young Trust company on
First South, State and Commercial
streets were taken under advisement.
George W. Kelsey represented that
he was unjustly taxed for $40 worth OF
personal property. He stated that last
year he and his wife agreed to dis
agree. she taking the household goods
and he the vacant house While ad-
hitting that he got the best of the
bargain. the board granted his prayer
for relief.
The reductions in value of personal
property assessments in twelve cases
aggregated SLIPS.
To correct an error, LOO was taken
off the value of the lot owned by j. r.
Walker No. in block SO, plat d. No
other complaints were made of over
valuation of real estate.
MORTGAGES STRICKEN OFF.
Because the debts secured by mort
cages had been paid and Cancelled or
the owners were non-reSldentS or Utah,
the following mortgages were stricken
from the tax rolls:

cipalship question was beyond Mr..
| Giauoue's comprehension. To dismiss
Mr.. Mccoy now would, in his estima-
| ton, impair discipline in all the schools,
and the incorrigible Mulhall boy will
have gotten the best of the principal.
To require Mr.. Mccoy to apologize
seemed the heighth of absurdity, and
meant much trouble ahead.
The celebrated case was reviewed by
Judge Henderson, and to his way of
thinking, if Mr.. Mccoy had rendered
his resignation after the threat of Il
suit for damages by Mr.. Mulhall, would
have been a confession on the princi-
pals part that he had done sonnet ung
wrong. Mr.. Mccoy merely wanted to
know why his resignation was
wanted, and Immediately after
the board voted to retain him.
AS to INSTRUMENTATION, the judge de-
clared members of the board are insub-
ordinate to the sovereign will of the
people, the patrons of the school, who
want Mr.. Mccoy retained. If the COM
mittee which asked for his resignation
made a mistake, as he believed, the
judge declared the honorable way
would be to confess it, and there would
be no loss of dignity.
Mr.. Newman stated that his dignity
had been offended he would, under the
circumstances, yield to the interests of
discipline in the schools.
Mr.. Wilson said it seemed that the
board was about to dispense with :ne
of its very best principals If he would
not humble himself by apologizing fer
fancied act of INSTRUMENTATION, aud
he moved to defer action on his election
until Mr.. Mccoy could appear before
the committee of the WI de.
Mr.. Moyle said ne would vote against
Professor Mccoy on a question of his
ii
vote to retain him if it were question
of his having offended the dignity OF
a minority of the board members.
The motion to defer action was car
ried without dissent, the rules having
been stretched to permit the motion to
be entertained in the midst of the roll
call voting. However, Mr.. Bamberger
reserved the right to question Princi-
pal Mccoy about any other case of cor
poral punishment by him.

Oratorical Contest at All Hallows'
College.

The annual Evolutionary contest in
All HallOws college last evening was
witnessed by a good-sized audience,
consisting of students and their friends.

vaded the contest from beginning to
end. 1t was under the direction of
Father F. D. Murrin, professor of elo-
cution, who is to be congratulated on
the results of his labors, as they were

lection entitled THE Railroad Cross

While the seniors were getting ready

college BOYS. under the leadership of
Professor Anton Peterson, played sew
eral selections, which gave evidence of
considerable talent.
F. r. Brown was the first of the
seniors. His subject was Dead Mans
Gulch," and he was followed by V. d.
Doody, whose selection was entitled "A
Deserter'' Then J. j. Cloonan, who
won the Junior medal last year. recited
1.-THE Grand Advance" He was fol-
lowed by j. E. Smith, who closed the
competition by reciting a eulogy on
Lafayette.
The judges for the occasion were
Colonel Donnelan, Professor Clark of
the High school and Judge Dininny.
While they were preparing their de-
cisions the orchestra rendered a few
more selections. Judge Dininny an
nounced the decisions. but. before doing
so, made a neat speech, complimenting
the boys on their work and on having
such able teachers.
He stated that it was hard to reach
a decision. but that the judges were
unanimous in awarding the junior
medal to r. P. Luxen, and that Z. Bon
ner was their second choice. In the
senior division, f. Brown was awarded
the medal. with ]. ]. Cloonan a close
second. Judge Dininny, however, was
in favor of giving Master Cloonan the
medal and a part of the audience was
of the same opinion.
The medals are of gold, the senior
being the gift of Father Cushnahan of
Ogden. and the Junior medal the gift
of Father Delahunty of Rock Springs,
Wyo. Father Larkey introduced Pro-
fessor Clark. who made a brief speech

ers ON the evenings exhibition.
