MASTERS CUP CONTEST.
The cup contest between the literary
societies came off on Thursday evening
in the college chapel. There was
good house and all were we'll pleased
with the exercises. Indeed, it is thought
that this contest taking everything in
to consideration, surpassed any yet held
by the societies.
The cup was already in possession of
the Zaonian society and was zealously
and successfully defended. The Athen-
aeum society, put up good contest and
barely missed the debate, which would
have won the contest for them. The
spirit was the very best from first to
last and all are encouraged to try again.
Mr.. Will Rhodenbaugh represented
the Zaaonians in the essay on the sub
ject Backbone, while the Athenaeums
We're represented by Mr.. NJ. c. Sher-
wood on the subject Influence of Read
ing on Character, which took first
place for his society These essays We're
fine productions and promise much for
the future of these young men.
In recitation Miss Pearl OBren rem
dered ga Martyred Mother in most
affecting and touching manner, win
ming first place; and Miss Rachel Hig-
ley surprised and delighted all by her
skillful rendition of ''Briar Rose.'
The debate was on the question: Re
solved, that the benefits received by the
U. S. in the late war with Spain are
greater than the evils The affirmative
was won by Mr.. G. V. Whaley by a
good argument, and the negative was
nicely handled by Miss Alice Bitten
bender.
The orations were delivered by Mr..
G. D. Hardy on Charles Sumner, and
Miss Fannie Burns on The Race Prob
lem" Mr.. Hardy's style is too well
known by the readers to require com
ment. This effort was up to his stand
ard. Miss Burns handled her subject
in an original and logical manner and
delivered it with much skill and telling
effect.
Music for the evening was rendered
by Misses Annie and Minnie Riepen
and Misses Garnett Romans and Terry
Rev. Martyr rendered the invocation
and Miss Alice Stevens served as chair
man of the evening. The judges wer'
j. P. Conner, j. B. Romans, Chas Bull
lock, Margaret Gillmor and Chas. G
Kemming.
The Zaos are enthusiastic over thei,
victory and the Athenaeums are in gooi
nerve for another bout. There will b.
a lively sscrimmage" next June.
