Why not name the next one the College of Physicians and Surgeons" and then give us the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy.'' v "-Success.

BUCKING BRoNcHos.

A bunch of bucking bronchos from the plains of Colorado constitute an in teresting feature of the Colorado ex- hibit at the Worlds fair.

sion.
