TO the trial the full course was gone
over and carefully measured, so that
there could be no mistake,
Doyle and Walker, both of George
town, were given a liberal allowance in
order to make Seitz exert himself to
the utmost. With the crack of the gun
the big fellow jumped away from the
mark and tore down the alley in fine
shape It was evident that he was
travelling well and it was generally
thought that he had equaled the record.
A short conference OF. the timers was
held and it was announced that the
American champion had succeeded in
shattering the old figures. He was
roundly cheered by the contingents of
the different schools.

one-half an inch long and very thin.

fit for mortar, builders say, because it's
srnoothness prevents it from holding to-

settle down into almost a cement as
hard as asphalt, beyond the conprehen-
sion of those who have not seer IL

year the play presented was likewise
modern, yet the one this year is by the
greatest living English playwright, and
one of his best comic plays at that No
person who claims to be interested in
modern drama can afford to miss this
production, which in all respects typi-
fies modern drama at its best. Prepar-
atoms which have been In progress now
for some six weeks are now all COM

all previous ones given by the club.
The sale of seats has far exceeded the
expectations of even the most sanguine,

at once. The university will be partic-
ularly we'll represented. The entire
