A.ricultural College Trustees.

A special meeting of the trustees of the
MARYLAND Agricultural College was held
Yesterday, the meeting being called by
Governor John Walter Smith, who is ex-
ofiicio president of the board of trustees.
1t is understood that various approprla-
tiuns will be asked to be made by the
Legislature for the more successful pro-
motion of the different departments of
the college aud one for the enlargement
of the main building, as was originally
intended, but which was never accompH-
shed on account of the want of funds,
and for the erection of cottages on the
college green for the professors. This
special meeting Of the trustees, it is said,
will be held for the purpose of consider
ing matters of legislation concerning tue
college, and probably means to include
the above mentioned matters. The meet
ing was held in the Executive Chamber
at Annapolis.
The students of the college say that
better order has been preserved at the
college this year than ever before within
their knowledge, and that there has been
scarcely any hazing this year.

The Cake Walk.

The Cake Walk last Friday night under
the auspices of the Ladies Ass citation OF
Trinity Church was great success. The
threatening weather, undoubtedly, kept
large number away, but the hall was fill
ed, and those who came were well re-
paid for their trouble. There were
twenty dancers all of whom were dressed
in elaborate costumes. Eibners band
furnished delightful music. The dancers
first appeared in procession and then the
respective couples competed for the cake
Messrs George w. Wilson, Joseph 5.
Wilson and William H. Talbot acted as
Judges and the contest finally narrowed
down to two couples, Miss Winnie Red
miles and Mr. Tilden Davis, and Miss Ella
Redmiles and Mr.. Ernest Coale.
The cake was won by Miss Redmiles
and Mr. Davis.
The hall was then clea1e:. of the benches
and, after the Virginia reel in which only
those in costume participated, the dane
ing became general and was continued
until late hour. Refreshments were
sold by the ladies, and the net proceeds
of the entertainment amounted to about
$50 Mr. Specht and those who SO faith
fully seconded his efforts deserve great
credit for the success Of the undertaking.
The participants in the Cake walk
were: Miss Cora Chapman, of Washing
ton, Miss Mary L. Wilson, Miss Ruby
Neal, Miss Maggie Wall, Miss Lucy Sass
Ger, Miss Marguerite Clagett, Misses Ella
Katie and Winnie Redmiles, Miss Maud

the nrsmen intend 70 get her a position and
