to start a concerted war on every Ia

FIELD DAY
At the Industrial Institute Last
Saturday Witnessed by Many
Spectators.

Last Saturday evening the
student corps of the Industrial
Institute inaugurated the obser-
vance of Field Day with various
appropriate athletic exercises
and feats of skill and strengths.
The weather was all that could
be desired, the bright sun and
cNhilprating atmosphere lending
cheer and inauguration to the
contestants and tempting quite
Il mum Der of spectators to the
college campus.
The exercises began at three
O'Clock and lasted until seven,
the time being most pleasantly
and probably passed by all in
witnessing marvellous feats of
skill and dexterity by the young
ladies and gentlemen in the
several contests. Professor Roy
acted as starter in the races by
shooting his little pistol, and
Professor Lillibridge as master
of ceremonies by megaphoning
the results to the pleasure and
satisfaction of the spectators.
Professors Smith and Woodson
also assisted and did much TO
help the boys 'cut shines.'
Misses Maytield and Dupre
super1ntended the basketball
game that proved (pardon bOys)
by far the most attractive and
interesting feature of the day.
The skill and adeptness dis
played by young ladies excited
the applause and admiration of
all, the boys shouting themselves
hOarse over the scores made by
the fair rivals. The game was
finally awarded to the "Yellows'
over the ''Greens' by score of
% to ~.
We refer our readers to the
full account in another part of
this paper written by Misses
Marcel Blot and Alma Gulley,
and trust that next Field Day
every lover of sport and Of
Wonderful wOnders'' as the
boys dubbed them, will be there
to see and enjoy for himself.
The Gazette cannot refrain in
conclusion from expressing its
extreme qualification over the
introduction of such healthful
and invigorating exercises among
the students, strengthening add
developing those characteristics
of mind and body so essential to
a proper and efficient discharge
of the more serious functions OF
life and atfording opportunity
for delightful and profitable So
cial intercourse. Field Day was
a happy hit and we extend our
congratulations to the faculty
and students.

As to the Water Supply.

In another column we publish
an interesting communication
addressed to the City Council,
on the question of an adequate
water supply for the town. 1t
contains information and recon-
mendatiOnS of an authoritative
character. and is designed to
point out the necessity for alter
ations and additions in cOnnec-
ton with the water supply, to
remedy the defects in the sys-
tenn which the last cOnt1agratiOn
made it possible to discover.
And we are informed that it is
the intention of the Council to
take Immediate steps to place
the pOwer-hOuse in proper con
ditiOn to meet the new demands
made on the plant by the ma
terial extensions of the water
mains to the Industrial Institute
and the Mudd and Girard addi-
tons to the town.

The Sidewalk Ordinance.
The ordinance proposed by
Mr.. F.. Demanade at the last
meeting of the Council, provid-
ing for the construction OF uni
form sidewalks at the expense
of the owner of the abutting
property, is timely and is
move in the right direction.
Good streets and good sidewalks
are most necessary cOnVen-
fences, they are essential to the
business interests of the town
and are an enhancement to the
value of property. Lafayette
covers an extended area and
it would be utterly impractl-
cable for the Council to under
take the general construction Of
sidewalks out of the regular
revenues Of the town. 1t is the
rule of all cities and towns
enjoying a good system Of side
walk to require propertyholders
to bear at least twO-thirds of the
cost Of construction, and to COM
pei the owners of property to
build substantial and durable
sidewalks.
In adopting a similar ofd1-
nance for Lafayette the Council
will inaugurate a movement that
will contribute materially to the
substantial advancement of the
town, as has been fully demon
strated by the experience of all
towns and cities that have made
the construction Of sidewalks
compulsory. Such a measure
always meets with some Opposl-
ton at first, but after d fair trial
it is found to work we'll and for
the direct advantage of every
body concerned.
