ST. STANISLAUS COLLEGE
NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The sunshiny weather of the past has
enlivened things somewhat. The sunny
South is itself again. Spring is here in
all its beauty. The gay mocker flits
about the lawn and floods the air with
its enhancing music. Baseball has again
made its appearance upon the college
campus. The votaries of the national
game are hustling about to form league
that will compare favorably with last
years. There is fine material to form
three good clubs which will play every
Thursday, thus affording innocent and
manly sport for the leisure hours. A
number OF games were played last week
and the great number OF brilliant plays
show that fine sport awaits the baseball
enthusiast. Last Sunday game be-
tween the Morning Stars and Moonlights
resulted in victory for the former, the
score being 4 to 3. Two games were
played Thursday between the Louisiana
and Mississippi. Sr., and Mississippi,
Jr. There was the old time vim lacking
about these games which shows that
much practice is needed especially in
sprinting, but on the whole both games
were very interesting. The Louisiana,
Sr. won over the Mississippi by score
Of to 2, while for the Juniors the Mis-
sissippi won hard fought battle TO the
tune Of 7 to6. The young gentlemen
interested in the national sport are Jos.
c. Comeaux, VIM. Hunter, Paul Blan-
chard, c.. Huggins, A. Burch, P. Jewell
s. Walsh, and T. G.. Uhlhorn. 1t is
safe to say that with this formidable ar
ray OF baseballists fine sport will not be
lacking this season.
Tuesday being st. Patrick's Day, the
president kindly granted half holiday

seen on the lapels of great many coats

The First Commercial, Section B., aye
handsome class and brave, surprised
their many ardent admirers with a most
delightful entertainment last Saturday
evening. The entertainment was q
Longfellow recital, and the continuous
rounds of applause from the enthusiasts
tic audience well rewarded the teacher
and pupils. The recital was altogether
on novel lines. The listeners were in
troduced to such classic names as Homer
Aristotle, Virgil and Dante, showing
how down the ages the beauty of Ian
guage was enhanced by such geniuses
OF different nations and different periods.
The questions were so pointed and the
answers so direct that at times the pre-
siding officer had to suppress the APP
plause. These questions led the audience
through the history of literature down to
the days of Longfellow, and showed the
young gentlemen thoroughly conversani
in their theme. The reading Of the most
beautiful portions of Evangeline was
the feature, and the class acquitted
themselves so we'll that their entertain
ment is now the talk of the college. The
following young gentlemen acquitted
themselves most creditably: r. P. Live
lar, w. Blanchard, F. Tarut, G.. V. Kel-
ly, E. Mouch, H. Allen, F. Goldthwaite
H. st. German, B. Todd, A. Mouch, T,
j. Phillips, H. Keller, A. L. Tassin and
S. Bird.
AT the conclusion Brother Daniel, Vice
President, congratulated the young
students most felicitously, compliment
ing their teacher, Brother Arthur, fol
his novel and ingenious questions, ano
expressing his satisfaction for the high
standard of elocution developed in the
class.
