soNTAd BAND CONCERT
viii be 4 Treat Friday Evening.

The Sontag Military Band is
preparing a treat for music
lovers, and Lafayette has num-
bers, for next Friday night.
Their concerts are always de-
lightful, for the Sontag Band is
one of the finest musical organi-
zations in the State, and of which
every Lafayettan is proud; but
the coming concert will be unusu-
ally interesting and entertaining.
The number for that night will
be Miserere, the most charming
and dramatic selection from H.
Troyatore. A special feature
will be a cornet solo by Mr.. Scott
Haywood, whose reputation as
a cornetist is very high. To
develop the theme of the selection
most effectively, Mr.. Eli Billeaud
will plAy the baritone solo in the
distance. It will be fine treat
indeed to hear this classic, loved
the world over, rendered by such
accomplished musicians, and
without doubt the large crowds,
who attend the Friday evening
concerts, will be trebled on this
specially interesting occasion.

GOOD GAME.
Lafayette Crossed Bats
With Ber1ucheau
Sunday.

The game Sunday was adver-
tised to take place between Lafa.
yette and Jeannerette, but for
some reason the latter team mott
fed the home boys on Saturday
that they would have to cancel
the engagement. Arrangements
were then made to play the Ber-
lucheau nine. A large crowd
was at the Ball Park at 4 p. M,
when the game was called, and
had the pleasure of seeing some
tirst-class playing. Lafayette
was little too strong for the
Berlucheau boys, but the game
was close all the way through
until the eighth inning when, La
fayette rolled up five runs and
shut out Berlucheau from any
chance of winning.
Berlucheau got the first run in
the second inning, but never sue
ceeded in making another round.
Lafayette made a run in the
third, then got another in the
fifth, and piled up five in the
eighth. All through the game
both sides made good plays.
Suarez carried of the palm for
batting by making q three-bases
hit. Alpha and Tierney did
some splendid work, and won
cheers by difficult plays. Robi-
chaux's catch in right field was
well done. Hinz did some fine
pitching, and got q round of ap-
plause by taking q ball straight
from the bat, and placing it on
time at first, although in catching
the ball it threw him.
The game was pleasantly and
agreeably played clear through,
not q single contention, and con-
sidered from all points, was one
| Of the most interesting and en-
jpyable games that have been
played during the season. The
score by innings was:
Lafayette O O I @ q / o 5 x
Berlucheau !. @ | G. . q O O 0 O o.
The line up Of Lafayette was
Snarez, G.: Schuling, h.; Tier.
ney. 2b.; Peck, 3d.; Alpha, :. $;

tin team at st. Martinville Sun
day, resulting in score Of 4 to 2
il favor Of Pilette.

Competitive Examlaations Do Not

Republican Idea.
There was a little rifieof excite
ment in town last week about the
action Of the High School Board
in the matter of selection Of q
principal for the school. There
had been an application made by
Miss Sallie Spencer, q graduate
from the State Normal, backed
up BY q large petition Of the citi-
sens Of Abbeville. There was
also an application filed by Mr..
w. j. Avery, but the board saw
at to re-elect Mr.. j. E. Holmes.
There Was such an opposition,
however, to this action that the
Board decided to appeal to the
State superintendent Of public
education to ascertain whether q
competitive examination might be
had between applicants to settle
the matter. This seems to be
very fair.
We, of course, do not under
stand the merits Of the case un-
der question; but generally speak

ing duly considered the matter,
