THIRD ANNUAL FIELD MEET
FOR THE GRADES.

On last Friday afternoon was held
the annual Field Meet for the grades,
from the fifth to the ninth, inclusive.
This has become a popular feature of
school life for the children and makes a
fitting celebration for the close of the
schools for those grades. The result of
the contest Friday was as follows:
For the fifth grades, the High school
received twenty-seven points, the Hum
boldt, twenty, the Lincoln, fifteen, and
the LongfellOw, one, the latter school
having entered at the last moment.
For the sixth grades the result was
forty-four for the Humboldt, and
eighteen for the High school, the Lin
coin not having entered a team. In
the seventh grades, the points were
almost equally divided, the High school
receiving twenty-five, the Washington,
twenty -one, and the Lincoln nineteen.
The contest between the eightand ninth
grades was a hard fought battle and
ended in victory for the eighth grades,
which secured forty-eight points while
the ninth received thirty-two.
The winners of the events were as fol-

vALEDICTORY ;


Dear Classmates the joys which
this occasion has Srought, some sor-
rows are mingled. We, who, as class,
have been SO happily associated during
the past few years, must say farewell
to our beloved teachers, fellow school
mates and to one another. All the ex-
periences of the past, the many happy
hours which we have spent together in
this beautiful High School will remain
but fond memories, and, without'doubt,
many time while recalling the dear
old school days shall we regret that
this happiest time of our life cannot be
lived again.
We now stand midway in the course
of our lives. The past has made us
what we are, the future will bring forth
the result of our labors. Thus far we
have been directed and guided by
others, but henceforth we must rely
upon ourselves. Yet our future life
will not, after all, greatly differ from the
one spentin school In the past, although
our teachers have patiently assisted us
in overcoming difficulties, we have had
to do the hard work ourselves. There
will be other experiences, but we must
apply the same principles of mastery
which we have used during our school
career in the struggle for knowledge.
Emerson says, that in general, every
evil to which we do not succumb is
benefactor. As the Sandwich Islander
believes that the strength and valor of
the enemy he kills passes into himself,
so we gain the strength of the tempta-
ton we resist. Shall we in the future
when rugged paths confront us, and
without doubt they will, consider life
but a burden and give up: Never,
dear classmates. Let .us Climb, tho
the path be rugged"
In Westminster Abbey, upon q mem
orial tablet erected in honor of the
many renowned Englishmen buried
there. is inscribed the Latin word
vire74raf--they have lived. These men
did not consider life worth living sim
ply for enjoyment, but devoted them
selves to Others, having in view the
definite aim of advancing mankind
they have lived Often and gladly did
they encounter difficulties and their
final triumph ia gaining the height of
their ambition was secured only 81
years of hard labor and self sacrifice.
We have nos wings we cannot soaz
But we hare feet % scale and Climb
By slow degrees By more and more.

The Bills and the Yet0es.
from tho Llttle Rock Gnzette.

From the Little Rock Gazette
The amazing action Of Governor Da.
Wis in vetoing ninety bills and one con-
current resolution passed by the last
general assembly is based, according 70
his proclamation, upon his contention
that the twenty days following the ad-
journment of the legislature should IN
clude Sundays that this period expired
on Wednesday, May %, instead of on
Saturday, May % and that the bills
were not legally presented 10 him before
the expiration OF the time prescribed by
the constitution,
Clerk Hays Of the house has In his
possession the receipt Of the governor s
private secretary for the house bills in
controversy, In their original form,
which shows that they were delivered
on May l5,
The governor took from these bills
presented on May 10 certain ones, some
of which he vetoed and others Of which
he approved,
II he could thus act on some of the
bills, why coudn t he net on all Of
them2
II the governor is right IN his conten.
tion that the twenty days expired on
May 30, all the house bills they were
presented 10 him on May lb=haye be
come laws except those that were vetoed
prior TO the expiration OF the twenty
days
II the governor Is wrong in his con-
tention that the twenty days expired on
May 20, then his ninety.0ne ye,oes Of
yesterday ARE void IL is believed, for
this reason The constitution of Arkan.
sas provides that II the governor shall
not approve bill he shall give his OBJ
jectiOns 10 it The only objection ho
gives IN his veto proclamation Of yoster-
day Is the single one, which, he says,
is common 90 all Of tho bils, that they
were not presented 10 him within tween
IS days Of the adjournment Of the legis
laturo Counting sundays But II hs
contention II wrong the bills were pre-.
scented 20 him within twenty days Of
the adjournment and there ara then no
objections outstanding against them to
support the veto
The governor on yesterday approved
the bills making appropriations for The
maintenance OF the Deaf Mute Institute
aud Branch Normal at Pine Blum and
the bin authorizing the St Francis
Lcyco Board 10 issue $500 OOO IN bonds
But II the governor d contention That he
has no right to approve or dHnpprOye u
bin after May 90 holds good there was
certainly no power IN him to take mp
these three bills on May 2j and give
them life by signing them
No doubt the question ul the validity
