Although the Farmers Short
Course at OAC is quite we'll attend
ed, L. L. Brooks, who is taking the
course, says it is matter of sur
prise to him that more farmers who
live near by do not profit by the op-
portunity presented them to secure
a better knowledge of things of i'm
portance to them in their everyday
life, especially as the course is held
at time when they can do practi-
-cally nothing at home.

ton in Schenectady.

One of the most mastery cfI
Shakespeare productions SO far as
the portrayal of human feeling is
concerned, is the letter scene in
Macbeth. Rose Eytinge has play
ed the part in some of the greatest
casts of the times during the past
25 years, and from border to border
of the United States, and in Lon
don. Her portrayal of the scene
has contributed as much as any
thing else to her great renowp, and
is one of the greatest Of which Miss
Eytinge is capable. Seats for the
reading are on ale at Graham &
Wortham's.
Albany VS. OAC's second basket
ball team will be the attraction at
the Armory tomorrow evening. AL
banyis far stronger this year accord
ing to what we hear than she was
last year and the prediction is made
that the contest tomorrow night
will be we'll worth seeing. The |:
following is the personnel of our
team: Spires, center; Burns, (capt.) l.
and Rooper, forwards; II. Rooper
and Coiwell, guards; substitutes, /
Horton and Bartlett. Fl. Rooper
and Colwell are substitutes on the
first team. Beyond doubt this will
p owe a spirited contest.
The two boys who plead guilty
to the charge of breaking the globes
of street lights, as reported in our
last issue, were hailed before Police
Judge Yates, Tuesday morning, for
sentence. They were sentenced TO
a fine of $40 each, or five days in
the city Jail. Owing to circun-
stances over which the boys had no
control they accepted the latter
alternative and are now in durance
vile for five days. With good be-
havior they will breath the air Of
freedom in time for Sunday dinner.
1t is sincerely hoped that this les
son may not be lost on these lads
and that other boys about town
may profit by their experience.

Miss Edith Chiswell were united
