Applause and Criticism.

It was after the piano recital. and the
audience was still applauding. There
were two English women, though, who
did not clap their hands. But they
commented in tones that were audible
for some distance around thus:

him play again?'

SUGGESTIONS
offered For Good Of the
Night School.
Recommended That Sessions be Hello
In Each Of the Ward Buildings.

Students attending the night school
are making some suggestions relat-
i've to the management of the school.
Wednesday night Supt. Thomas
requested the pupils to write letter
in which they might offer some ideas
for the good of this school. One
student asked that a night school be
organized in each of the Ward build
ings.
Prof. Thomas said that with the
present rate of increase they believed
there would be an attendance of
800 pupils after this busy holiday
season is over. At that time this
suggestion may be acted upon.
Another student requested that
song be sung each evening before
the final dismissal. The timely hint
has been carried into effect.

Elizabeth. In King Charles time peo-
pie danced 'Trenchmore," the "Cush-

Among the men who will compete for
the fve-mile run championship are Alex

be d pretty one, and one of the Grants
stands a good chance of finishing up

is j. w. T~ewksbury. who is looked upor
as an almost certain winner. In the Ge

tries as Sheldon, J. C. McCraeken, Coe,
and Beck, will be by far the most inter

years. Each competitor is a top-notenel
