corner Of Main Street and Moreanton
road by large crowd Of friends, they
were warmly coached at Columbian
Hall by another party, and fairly
skimming passed the third
at the Presbyterian Church.
The Icourse turned over College
street and when they crossed the
bridge their feet were working like
high speed pistons The judges At
Ellis gave judgment to Ernest who
came up the hill length ahead but
Tracy got the ribbon for endurance
for he never broke speed till he land
ed at Ceder Croft.
Thi. indeed been an 'annus mir
abilis' year of marvels and calam-
tiles. First, the foot ball team
couldn't make connections, then
came the cold weather, then rosela,
next La Grippe, then the measles,
nextly the band recognized and
holds trl-weekly rehersals, and lastly
Mr.. Turnbull and Prof. Elmore have
gotten tiger stripe sweaters that can
be heard as far as they're seen.
The reception given by Mrs. SAM
ford and the young ladies of Baldwin
Hall last Saturday evening was one Of
the most enjoyable of the term.
A merry crowd of the young gentle
men and young ladies met in the par

music.
A The "Initial Game" introduced by
4 Mrs. Sanford was interesting-and,
in some cases, very amusing.

entire satisfaction of all. The entire
afternoon was much enjoyed and was

pleasure. All who attend the social
