 Bob Fitzsimmons's ambition to meet l Jim Corbett again may be gratifed. According to a dispatch from San Fran cisco, the Yosemite A. c. is ready to give a purse for a contest to be de cided next May. Jimmy Cafforth, the clubs matchmaker. says that the ar ranging of the mill depends on how the Cornishman makes out in his coming
 battle with George Gardner, which is to be held before the same club the latter part of this month. If Gardner is the winner he may get the chance of facing Pompadour Jim in place of

 At half-past o'clock the entire body of students. about 1,600 in all, fell in line behind a brass band from Trenton and with wagon carrying the team leading the way paraded through the mud up and down the prin- cipal streets of the town, singing the Didn't he ramble'' song which they sung at the game on Saturday. and shooting off fireworks in bewildering rapidity. Then they marched to the big pile of wood. which had been soaked with oil. and John De Witt, the hero of the game, touched torch to the towering mass. The flames quick ly rushed upward and in short time were leaping higher than the roof of old North.
 Speeches were made by members of the victorious team and all were cheered heartily by the hundreds of students, but the loudest cheers were for Captain De Witt and Trainer Jim Robinson, to whom the students feel the victory was especially due. The celebration continued far into the night and was the biggest and most enthusiastic ever seen about the old cannon. where so many championship victories have been celebrated.

more than the child herself ever
dreamed of.
One summer evening on grandpa's
farm all the family went to the hill
top to see a wonderful sunset. The
little girls papa looked poems and
her mamma likened the sky to the coll
ors of great canvasses, and lay MEM
bers of the family expressed their adj
miratiop in various terms. Only the
little girl said nothing.
Look at her." whispered an adoring
aunt what exquisite feeling there Is

it was the old farmer grandfather who
spoke.
