To President Cyrus NJ ,rthrop, Of the
state university, has been given the Op-
portunity to celebrate at the same time
three important anniversaries in his
life, and a reception in his and Mrs.
Northrop's honor will be held in the
university armory, Friday evening, by
the faculty, students and alumni Of the
university The dates commemorated
are his birth, his wedding and his ap-
pointment as president of the univer-
sity. -,
President Northrop and perhaps, no
educator is held in higher esteem than
he. The suggestion of reception in his
honor has been taken up enthusiastical-
~ and large throng will be present.,
President Northrop was born on the
Ridgefeld hills Of Connecticut on, Sept.
80; isa4 a 29EeparatoFy e edufati0n in
fitted him for Yale, and in 1852, he en-
tered that college. Handicapped by
i'll health, he was compelled to leave
Yale in his freshman year, but he re.
turned and graduated with the class Of
'57. Before his graduation he had es-
and debater and resolving to become a
lawyer he again entered Yale as a law
student, and obtained his second degree
in 1859.
Upon his graduation he immediately
embarked in the profession OF law. but
was drawn into politics. and stumped the
state of Connecticut for Abraham Lin
coin in 1860.
In 1868 he received an appoint
ment to the chair of rhetoric and Eng
1ish literature in Yale university. In
the years preceding this appointment he
held several political Positions. at the
same time filling an editorial position on
the New Haven Palladium, then the
leading republican paper Of New Haven.
In 81 he had married Miss Elizabeth
Warren Of Stamford and his married
life has been ideal. Mrs. Northrop is
a charming hostess and the receptions to
the students at the home of the presi-
dent are among the happiest events of
the university year.
When the regents Of the university

began a search for president in 1884,
the possibility of securing DR.. Northrop
was considered remote. His reputation
at Yale had placed him among the fore
most educators, Of the country and it
leaving an old and established eastern
institution, to come to the young and
unknown western country. The an
nouncement that he had accepted the
proffer of the presidency was hailed
with Joy by the educators of Mime
sofa and in 1884 Cyrus Northrop entered
into a new sphere of influence from
which he has never departed. ,l
fculties in his administration of the
affairs of the university which few COL
lege presidents have been called on to
face. Minnesota was a young state
and the university was young: The
Legislature was handicapped by the lack
Of funds, and pr. sN orthrop's3, personal
influence alone has made possible many
conjunction with his sc1ose friend, the
late John S. Pillsbury, he has faced the
legislature and oft-times headed off
legislation which would have weakened
the university One example of this
was especially noticeable in 1887, when
ing the agricultural college and GREAT
ing it a separate institution under en-
tirely different management from the
university, resulted insthe defeat of the
bill. - 5.. Iz.s. p. y. r j /. !,
DR.. Northrop g success in the manage

due to his personality. He controls
not thru fear. He is ready at all times
to help and many are the graduates of
the institution whose course in the uni
versity was made possible only thru
the Hberality Of the president.

RACED IN THE MUD.
A Good Programme at Kansas City In
Spite of the Weather.

Kansas City, May kansas City
racegoers are hardly educated up to
the idea of racing in bad weather but
nevertheless, the attendance at Elm
Ridge park yesterday exceeded all ex-
pectatiOns. The attendance was esti-
mated at 1900 and it was a good bet
ting crowd. No stake events were
carded, but all of the numbers brought
together fair fields and. while there
were no nose finishes, all of the events
were close enough to be interesting.
The third race. purse affair at one
mile, was probably the best number
carded and it brought out a fair field.
KleinWOod. on the strength of his good
race on the preceding day, was install
ed a strong favorite. but he was not
equal to the task of travelling a mile.
He ran well for six furlongs, but hung
badly at the finish and was way in the
ruck when the winner passed the wire
The surprise of the day was sprung in
this number, when Mainsprings a 20 to
1 shot, passed the wire a winner. The
Griffin colt was entirely overlooked in
the betting. His previous reputation
was that he was a running mate for
Bill Curtis and even Trainer Brewster
was not over-enthusiastic over his
chances.
The son of Handspring broke in third
position, but was hustled to the front
going up the back stretch At this
stage of the game he was Joined by
Liberto, but the Cole horse was raced
into subsection, after hanging on
quarter of mile and handspring soon
opened a gap on the bunch Rounding
into the stretch Foncasta made a bid
for the money, but Feicht, on Main
spring, had some left and, drawing
away he managed to beat the Curl
candidate, a length in a driving finish.
Liberto. staggering at the finish, man
aged to last long enough to beat
Charles D for third money The 9TH
ers were beaten off.
Stump Town. a 4-year-old maiden,
owned by Kit" Russell of this city
carried that owners colors to the fore
in the initial number. However it was
a lucky win for the genial Kit. Sir
Andrew apparently had the race well
in hand when the stretch turn was
reached, but at this point he stumbled
or was bumped and fell Stump Town
then vent on and won rather easily
from Josette. Virdotte.a 80 to 1 chance,
finished third.
The second race was simply pa
rade for John W. Schorr's Useful Lady.
Aubuchon placed the good looking
daughter of Russell nicely in the early
part of the race and, drawing away
in the final furlong, he won with pIen-
ty to spare. Bologna, who was used up
making the pace, was firing badly at
the finish, but was an easy second
Mary Primm, belonging to Mr. Chris
tie. took third money. The Ornament
FLY was off poorly and, considering
her sendoff, ran a creditable race
The fourth race was a hot betting
