Bs.iusss College.
The annual Thanksgiving Banquet,
given by the officers and teachers Of
the Oberlin Business College, in honor
Of the students, was held Wednesday
evening Of last week, in the beautiful
rooms OF the new college building.
For many years this has been the great
social event Of the year in this school
when teachers, officers, directors and
students meet and mingle together.
and the one held last week, on account
Of the large increase in the attendance,
was the largest as well as the most
successful ever held
One hundred and fifty plates were
laid by caterer Hobbs. who, in a few
hours, converted the Business Depart
ment into q vertable banquet hall, I'LL
ed with long tables laden with the best
the land affords. The toasts, respond
ed to by students and others, were
brilliant and witty and elieitated
rounds Of applause, while the farce,
THAT Rascal Pat" given in the Short
hand Department entirely by the stud
ents, took the house by storm.
Graduates Of the college, from out Of
town, were present from Cleveland,
Elyria, LOrain, Wellington, Vermillion,
Johnston, Peru and other places. The
Oberlin Business College believes that
nothing is too good for its students,
and is the only business college, 90 far
as we are informed, that gives its stud
ents Thanksgiving Banquet.

PAR FoR SPOILED BEEF.
Comptroller Of the Treasury Allows
the Claim Of Swift 4 Co.

the Claim OF swift II Co.
WASHINGTON, Dec. M.--Mr. Tracewell,
the comptroller Of the treasury, has passed
upon the claim OF Swift & Co, of Chicago,
for the price of three hundred thousand
pounds Of fresh. beef. which, according to
contract, was shipped from Newport News,
Va. on August 5, 1885, for the use of the
army in Porto Rico. The record shows
that the Manitoba, the transport on which
the beef was shipped. arrived on Ponce,
August 10, where she ran on reef and
remained until the 14th. The captain of
the transport made an effort to have the
beef issued direct from the vessel to the
troops on shore, but the Officers in charge
refused to receive 1t. On August Is the
transport was ordered to Mayagues, where
II remained until the 31st of August. While
there small amount Of beef was issued
to the troops direct, as there was no re-
frigerating plant on Shore
On the same day she returned to Ponce,
where she renamed until September Z. and
was then ordered to Montauk Point, N.
X, when the beef was found to be un-
At for use and was thrown overheard.
The board Of survey found that the loss
by the spelling of the beef was not due
to any negligence or fault on the part
Of contractors. The comptroller finds that at
the time OF its condemnation the beef was
the property of the United States, and
directs that the claim be settled accord
ingiy.

TWO TRANsPACIFIC SHIPS.
Vessels VIII BE Built for Route
From Vancouver.

Special Dispatch to the Post -Intelligencer.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Dec. 21.--By this
time next year two new vessels will be
running between Vancouver and Austral-
ian ports. The steamers Miowera and
Warrimoo at present on the route, were
originally built for the Coast trade in
Australia. Last month at Sydney they
were formally taken over by the New Zea-
land Shipping Company, who have had
numerous business dealings with the Hud-
dart concern, the owners of the line, and
will next year be placed on the route be-
tween Sydney and Auckland, with call
ports.
In the meantime, an order has been
given for two new boats much larger and
better fitted than the present liners, to
ves, calling at Honolulu.
They will be built at Dumbarton, Scot
land, and will be ready by next August or
September. The. steamer Aorangi is the
only vessel of those now employed that
will remain in the present service. Large
contracts for carrying sugar have lately
been made by the company with the Brit
ish Columbia Sugar refinery here, to bring
cargoes from Queensland and Fiji.
