BOWDOlN COLLEGE.
The Boys Already Preparing for Ath-
letcs Of Next Year.

Brunswick, Me-, Nov 20.-(Special-.
Active steps are being taken by the
baseball association towards the pre-
sentation of Il play. the coming winter.
Last winter. the association UNDER
took its first W ork along this line when
it presented the minstrel show in the
Brunswick Town hall. and which
proved itself such an unqualified sue
cess. At that time not Il very large
sum of money was made. owing to
some adverse circumstances, yet il
proved its If Of great value in bringing
cut college talent along that line and
it is felt that an entertainment. this
winter will be drawing card.
With this end in view, Manager Ar
thur @. Putnam. Of the baseball team.
las decided to present the farcial
opera King Pepper" the coming win
ter. and already active steps have been
taken toward completing the prelmin-
AIRY arrangements Tor its presentation.
Arrangements have been babe with A.
j. Burns Of Gardiner. for the produc-
ton of the play and the first rehearsal
will be held. tomorrow evening. and il
is expected that a large number of
the men in college will turn out. The
opera has already been presented in
two Maine cities and is said to have
been great success.
The music for the play is written by
L. p. Favor of Gardiner, and is said
to be fine. Az opera OF this kind will,
it is confidently expected. give a splen-
did O;,pOr: unity to develop college tall
ent along this particular line, and will
doubtless also help the association out
on the financial side for the coming
baseball season.
The college teas. which proved then-
selves such pleasant occasions during
the last college year, and which were
instituted for the first time, are to be
renew ~ the present year. 7'hse were
held. last year. under the auspices o:
the lad:cs OF tn faculty ana proved
themselves q source Of great pleasure
TO the student body. alumni and friends
of the college. one of the features Of
tie teas. last year, was the inviting OF
friends from VA iouS cities of Maine
and this idea Will doubtless be car
ried o"t the present year. The first
tea will probably take place after
Thanksgiving.
The executive co!lmlttee of the Ora
matte Association has narrowed its
choice of play for the coming winter
oown 10 two pieces. They are His

cause She Loved Him So 1t is PLAN
ned to secure a coach in the near fu-
ture ana then the association wilIset-
tie down to getting its Play into form.
Considerable interest is felt in the
question of whether men in college
will be given adjourns for next FRI
day. Under the simester system
which vas inauSurated at Bow dom,
this Year. provision is made for
Thanksgiving day only. and men who
live at any great distance will be un-
able to visit their homes for the day.
1t is expected that the matter may be
discussed at the faculty meeting. TO-
morrow evening. 1t is thought, how
ever. that il is doubtful if any change
Ia made il. the Years schedule as ar
ranged. as it is felt that since the coll
lege Year has been shortened under
the new arrangement. that no more can
be well spared from the studies of the
men in college.
