GRADED SCHOOL NOTES.

The High School base ball team opened
the season on Saturday last with defeat
at the hands of Plattsburg High School
at that place, the score being 3 to
Considering the fact that the team has
had no practice to speak of on good
ground, this defeat is not at all dis
heartening. There was also very
strong wind blowing, making 1T almost
impossible to field or throw ball. The
first three innings were even, neither
side scoring. Then Middlebury seemed
to lose its grit, allowing Plattsburg to
score once in the fourth, once in the
sixth and six times in the seventh inning,
while Mddlebury scored but once, and
that in the ninth.
For Middlebury Captain Fisher, Beane
and Hadley did very good work at field
ing, while at the bat, Fisher and Buttolph
led, Fisher getting three Dagger in the
ninth inning, which gave Beane the OPP
portunity of bringing in Middlebury's
only score. For Plattsburg Captain
Dandrow, Dustin, st. Louis, and Marines
did good work. Middlebury showed her
need of practice in making II errors to
Plattsburg's T. while the difference in
batting was shown by Middlebury's get
ting hits to Plattsburgs g. The feature
of the game was a Que handed catch by
Beane of high fly over second base IN
the third inning.
1t is hoped by all that a return game
may be arranged by Manager Hope, to
be played at Middlebury some time in the
near future, at which the boys will try
and make up for the defeat of Saturday.

On Thursday evening, May II, forty
pupils of the high School will present the
Cantata of Joseph, at the opera house
for the benefit of the High School athlet-
ic association. This cantata is an inter-
esting, new and thoroughly up to date
entertainment. There are II soloists,
trio of male voices and q male quartette
of Ishmaelites, semi-chorus of eleven
brethren, semi-chorus of ladies and a
mixed chorus of forty voices. The scene
of the play is laid in Egypt, and the
theme is the story of the selling of Joseph
into captivity by his brothers and his
following successes up to the advent
of his brothers coming to buy corn
and the time when h e discloses
himself to them. This takes up nine acts,
each act is full of motion, and there is
not dull moment during the entire per-
Torrance. The costuming will be a
specially interesting part, as the partici-
pants will wear the old, bright colored
costumes of Bible times. which have been
procured at considerable expense The
succestOi the cantata will be largely due
to Mr.. Davis who has had charge of the
arrangements and costuming. Valuable
aid has also been given by William Shan
han who takes the part of Judah, in the
chorus of brethren. The accompanist,
G.. c. Clement of the Davis music studio
during the rehearsals has proven himself
the RICH man for the place.
