81. STANISLAUS COLLEGE
NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The LIST, inst, being the first Friday o
the month, day dedicated to the Sa-
cred Heart of Jesus, the students of st
Stanislaus, early in the morning repair.
ed to church to fulfil their cherished de.
votion to the Loving Heart by hearing
mass and receiving Holy Communion.
In honor of the ever memorable event
which occurred in Manila Bay, they were
free from studies of any kind, and the
rest of the day was spent in outdoor
sports.
After breakfast, the Seniors with nets
and lines wended their way to their ia
yorite haunt, the Spring Park. Here
under advantageous magnolias, they
organized little bands which soon scat
tered over hills and glens in search of
some favorable nook for crawfish. The
homes of these crustacea were soon
found in the beautiful rills, brooks and
creeks with which nature has favored
this place. Our amateur fishermen
piled their nets with such success that,
in less than an hour, they had caught a
quantity OF crawfish sufficient to satisfy
their craving for this delicate food.
Having reassembled, they now directed
their steps homeward. Little fires were
made on the college grounds; the poor
captives, which had been brought in nets
and old handkerchiefs, were given
boiling bath, and from dark gray, they
soon changed into dyes of purple and
scarlet. A few minutes more and manv
stripping wore look of delight. How
ever, our jocund ard sportive fellows,
feeling that more substantial meal was
not to be disdained, did ample credit to
the dinner. AT two o'clock, they moved
in body to the beautiful college green
where game OF base ball was to be ply
ed between the Shorthand Glass and the
Yard team. The stenographers having
among their rumber some of the best
players of the first college nine, en-
tertained but little apprehension of
the outcome of such game, while the
other side felt satisfied that they were
not going to defeat. The consequence
was that the struggle for victory was
not decided until the last inning, when
the score read to in favor of the
Shorthand class. The lineup was as \
follows: Shorthand class: G. Huggins
End b., w. Hunter p., w. Blanchard 3rd

The fatigues of the day had sharpened
the appetites, but hearty supper pro-
duced relief, and now every collegian
was ready to witness the Marionette
Show given in the College Hall for the
projected Firemen's Opera House of
Bay st. Louis. At $50, satisfied that
the day had been fully enjoyed, every
one spent a few minutes in the chapel
and thence retired to bed.
Last Saturday evening, the young
sters OF the Elementary Glass appeared
for the second time before their fellow
students, Their entertainment, though
short, was interesting, and elected much
praise and applause. Elocution, a few
questions on the selections read, and
spelling formed the programme. Loud
and clear reabing, prompt and accurate
answers, self-reliance, showed their
thorough possession OF the different sub
jects. Bro. Wilfrid deserves praise for
the good work of his pupils. The mem
bers OF the class are: D'Augereau, j.
]. Lamarque, l.. Ferchaud, NJ. Schnei-
der, E. Quintini, E. Lefebvre,V v. Buron,

Lefebvre, V. Heating L. Hebert.
The summer regulations started last
Monday. Our boys are now longing for
a dip into the briny waters of the Gulf, }
but owing to the exceptional cool wealth
er, their wish cannot be realized vet,
Bro. Louis Emile, Principal of st.
