Inc game Oh baseball U0GWooH Gue
Normal faculty and the Seniors result
ed in victory for the faculty by a score
of IL to 8. The game was replete with
sensational plays. Pres. McGregor's
base running, Regent Bishops home
run and Prof. Perisho's vain attempts
to punch holes in the atmosphere are
deserving of particular mention. But
the faculty still remains unbeaten!
The Normal team played at Monroe
last Friday with the local High school
team and defeated them by score of
u to 8.
One of the most enjoyable dances
this season was the one given by
Goulds orchestra last Friday evening.
This orchestra although but recently
organized furnished better music and
gave more general satisfaction than
many..high priced orchestras that have
been here. The dance was certainly
deserving of better patronage and
there is no doubt but that another
time the attendance would be wholly
satisfactory.
The Normal Vaudeville company,
which held down the boards at the
City hall last Thursday evening, gave
one of the best entertainments ever
given by local talent. The musical
portion of the program, with the illus
trated songs, we're especially fine. Mrs.
Churchill's rendition of Jerusalem and
little Bessie Churchill's solo were de-
serving of particular mention. The
May-pole dance by the little folks was
very pretty and delighted the audience
while the Pygmy Quartette, the Spin
sters and the Minstrel Circle were
highly entertaining and amusing.
The Arbor Day exercises this year
were held under the auspices OF the
Audubon society in the park. At IL

Mr.. Murphy, Pres. McGregor, Prof.
Perisho and Prof. Dudley while several
selections of prose and poetry were
rendered in pleasing manner by the
pupils.
