ALL NOTES.

The past week has been a verv busy
one at the College. The ~half-yearly
examinations were on, which always
means extra hard work for Professors
and plenty of anxious expectancy on
the part of the students. During the
first days Of the week, sunshine and
shadow alternated on many an anxious
face, but unclouded sunshine alone re-
manned after Wednesday afternoon,
/ when the Very Rev. President, Father
Larkin, in the midst of the assembled
Faculty, announced to the students
that all had passed satisfactorily; not.
only that all had passed satisfactorily,
but that the examination, on a whole,
was the best e recorded in All Hal
lows.
In the Preparatory Department the
most brilliant answering was by Albert
Daily, of Salt Lake. His splendid aver
age OF 9S 2-3 per cent was not only
highest in the Preparatory, but in the
College. Alfred Murphy, of Alhambra,
Mont, obtained the highest average in
: the College Courses proper. Out of a
possible 1000 he scored SS2 points, i. E.,
a percentage of SO lis. To him and
Albert Daily special prizes were offered.
The very creditable average of over
80 per cent was gained by the following
students (The order of rank denotes
the order of eX~cellence): --

The expectations Of all the classes
were more or less realized. There were
bouquets Of choice flowers, rhythmical
waves, brilliant sparks, a brilliant dis
play of masked batteries, etc, etc. The

Of a Butler victory. When the last word
was said, the geniuses, bright as they
were, had to fall back, for the "tri-

their attempted solution of perpetual
motion" the principle of the conserYa-
ton of energy presented an adamantine
front as ~impenetrable as the craggy
heights overlooking Spion Kop. Before
going farther in their attempts to
change the basar metals into gold,
they thought it wiser to give Bryan a
second chance of changing silver into
gold at the next election. The mid

A grand rally of baseball enthusiasts
was held some days ago in the college
hall to adjust differences between the
Granite Stars and California Won
ders'' SO that a strong college team
might be formed from the best players
of each. The greatest harmony prevail
ed. The ''Stara and Stripes" and the
college blue, everywhere in ~profusion,
did not blend more lovingly than the
hearts and minds Of the hitherto con-
tending diamond warriors, when 1t be-
came a question of doing battle for
their ommon alma mater. Captain
Gallagher of the Granite Stars" with
great ~magnanimity proposed that the
one best fitted to lead h college team
to repeated victory was Il. Canning,
Captain of the California Wonders"
and eX-captain Of the famous Green G
San Francisco team. The nomination.
was received with reclamation, and no
dfsgentient voice being raised, r. Cam /
ming was declared the duly and unanl-
mously elected captain of the All Hal
lows 1900 baseball team. The manager
chosen was one well known in the
world Of athletics; one whose proWeA5
has been displayed on many a hard
fought footmall field; one to whom All
HalloWs owes a lasting debt of graft
tude for the impetus he has given to
college athletics; one whose splendid
physique is a shining example of what
we'd directed athletics can accomplish;
one in fine. who, judging from the ire
mendous applause, ringing cheers and
college yells which greeted his r~ni-
ration, could be no other thai the Old
Reliable ]. P. Tanning. He was nomf-
rated by John McKenna, ~eX-captain of
the Quaker Invincibles" and was.
amidst intense enthusiasm, unanimous
Nv elected. The probable positions of
those who were fortunate enough to
obtain places on lie college team will
be the following:
John Gallagher captain of Granite
Stars), catcher.
Joseph Bush, pitcher.
william Luddy, third base.
John McKenna, shOrtstop.
Thomas Powers, left field.
