A COLLEGE GIRLS CIRCUS.

The annual circus under the manage ment of the Barn Swallow Society or Wellesley college was given at the college barn Saturday evening. The conventional ring, surrounded by tiers of seats, was in evidence, and from these points of observation the stu dents ate peanuts and applauded wig orously. Not man was present, even the policeman in blue uniform and bras buttons was a woman, Miss Eliz- abeth Bass, '03. On the stage were the 'sWild Man of Borneo" in his cage, the Zulu Princess, "the $10,000 beauty" !" represented by Miss Bessie M. Bowers, '01; ''the fat lady" ''the living skele- ton,' "the Albino giant" Miss Henri etta Page, '03; "the wonderful Indian fortune teller" Miss Elizabeth A. Wan der '03. Miss Sarah D. Moore, '03, as the far-famed Circassian snake charm CT, stood just outside the entrance as an advertisement of the strange ob- jects within.
 The performance began with the grand procession around the ring, led by the patriarch Noah and his wife with the ark, followed by the animals of the menagerie. There was music by comb band of ten musicians, led by Miss Tusanelda Nusbickel, '04. Miss Lucy NJ. Woodward, '02, was ringmas- ter The clowns were Miss Campbell, '02, and Miss Burt, '04.
 The ring performance included tight rope walking by Miss Lillian A. Me Donald, '04, and an exhibition by the Japanese wrestlers. A feature was horse and chariot races, which caused intense excitement among the specta- tors, even though the chariots were only dry goods boxes set on wheels and the. prancing horses looked exactly like college girls in gymnasium suits and streaming hair.-New York Sun.

statue to be placed in Sydney harbor, on scale similar to that of the famous Bartholdi statue of Liberty in New York harbor
 The statue is to be placed on a small island in the harbor. A maiden holding staff in her hand. as though prepared for long journey, is in- tended to represent Australia facing the dawn. Aloft she will hold a halo of stars, one for each of the federal states. The height is to be 230 feet over all. including the base, the fig- ure itself being 100 feet in height. Important events in the development of Australia-from the landing of Capt. Cook in Botany bay in TITO to the recent opening of the first fedez- al parliament-~are to be pictured on bronze friezes. around the pedegtal of the statue.
 Americans have reason to conprat- ulate themselves and the new nation. Themselves, because this system of government has proved so successful that the Australians have adopted it almost in toto. The Australians, be- cause they had the wisdom to recog- nize that stability depends on lib eral recognition of the God-g'ven right of equality.

 The consciousness of being citizens of the most affluent country in the world is calculated to arouse the highest form of patriotism among people who are accustomed to labor and who are not yet familiar with the vices which undermine older com munities. Yet the Australians are in- tensely loyal to Great Britain, and unless the London government com mits most grievous blunders England can forever depend on Australia in times of need for both money and men. Parent governments are not al- ways sensible, however; and to pro- vide against any unwelcome en- croachments upon their rights the federated Australians have adopted a constitution and a government which makes them virtually an independent nation.
 The unifcation of Australia is to be commemorated by the erection of buildings and statues in various cities, the most ambitious of these plans be- ing one advocated by E. w. O'Sulli- van, minister for public works for the colony of New South Wales, who pro- poses the construction of colossal

the South Pacific it must henceforth be reckoned among the great nations of the world.
 To the foreign observer the growth of Australia's wealth must always seem marvel; but those familiar with the country can explain it most logically and readily. The continent was, in the first place, settled by a hardy race which with industry conn bined an all-conquering spirit of en- terprise. Inventions of every kind were put to practical use in cities and towns while European municipalities still wrangied over their probable usefulness. Labor-seeking machinery was introduced in mines and on farms and ranches; and within a period of 40 years the five colonies gave to the world over $2, ,000, ,000 in gold, copper, coal and tin. Each year the country supplies Europe with 225,ooo,ooO pounds of mutton; 45,Oo0,oo0 pounds of timed meats and about TOO 100000 pounds of wool; and it's shipping has reached an annual total of 20,0o0,o00 tons.
 A land blessed with such phenom- cnal resources could withstand the onslaughts of the mightiest nation, even if it had no financial standing whatever. Bat here again Australia

FIGHTING IN LoUIsyILEE.

Louisville, Ky, May 30.-The grand jury is Investigating the Hart -Creedon fight which took place at the auditori- um on Friday night last with a view of returning indictments against the participants on the charge of prize fighting. A number of witnesses, in- cluding police, spectators and newspa- per men, were before the grand jury yesterday testifying. On four previ- ous occasions attempts have been made to indict fighters on a similar charge
 but in each instance Judge Barker has held that where the contest was not for a particular prize that it did not constitute prizetighting within the meaning of the statute. He said that if the men were paid stipulated sum before entering the ring that it was not violation of the law, The present attempt to find indictments is the out growth of political differences and spirit of jealousy upon the part of other clubs and owners of other halls.

Gardiner Is regarded as one of the best middleweights now in the ring. He recently returned from England after defeating some of the best men in his class on the other side. Mccoy says that he will post a forfeit this week with Al Smith to bind an encounter to q finish.

 The commonwealth of Australia, as now constituted, consists of the five colonies of New Wales, West Aus tralia, Victoria, Queensland and Tas- mania, containing a total population of 4,500,000 and territorial area of 2,973,Oo0 square miles, or only 5000 square miles less than the United States.
