able, energetic and ambitious young
man who had been brought into my
service about two years before to be
Donaldsons assistant and tighten his
burdens. He lived at my house and
was the leading spirit in all our recre-
atoms. He was blessed with unfailing
activity of mind and body. He could
both work and play at the same time.
Often he has come to me at midnight

those colleges was so keen and spirite,, !,
that the largest crowd that has yet at

Fair grounds was amply repaid for
braving the hot sun.

with total of seventy points, defeat
ing Princeton by ten points. The sc pres
for the other contestants were as fol-
lows:
Michigan Agricultural college 6; Uni

competition in every event was unu-
suallv keen and the result of the meet
