YAlE.MARIETTE DEBATE.

The special train which pulled out o.
1 ale last Friday evening at sever
o'clock was full of enthusiastic people
VINO were interested and anxious &c
hear the debate and its outcome. be
tween Yale and Marlette high schools
The band went along and enliyened
the occasion with fine music. Further
enlivenment was given by the numer.
Gus yells with which Yell Master Robert
Holbrook, formerly of Yale, now of
Ann Arbor, had so kindly coached the
school and also the crowd OH the wav
up. Quite number of people were
taken on at Brown City and by far the
larger share of the audience I'm tbe
opera house were outsiders.
The question for discussion was an
interesting one, claiming much atten.
tion at present, "Resolved that a Com.
mission should be appointed to fix
railroad rates" The following Judges
had been chosen, one by Yale, one by
Marlette and the third by these two:
Principal Webster Cook of Saginaw
Supt. II, +. Fell of Caro-, and Supt. O.
III. Naylor of Inlay City. The contest
ants were Irving Palmer Leslie Men
zies and Alex. Sayles of Yale: John Ca
wood, Lille Fellows and Florence viii
son of Marlette.
TO be brief, our boys acquitted them
selves bravely on the affirmative side,
Without halting or stumbling they
gave their arguments convincingly in
clear tones and with energy. In oratory,
IN delivery and in argument, they stood
far ahead of their opponents. We make
no doubt but that every person in the
audience, with the exception of pos

WHITNEY, BROTHERS 0uARIEIf.

The second appearance of the Whit
ney Brothers in Yale brought house
not so crowded before during this sea
sons lecture course. They had beer
pronounced SO good that all wanted the
second opportunity to hear them
There was no disappointment, with the
exception perhaps that Yale Whitney
was not with the company, but his
place was ably filed by George Bemis
of New York.
Every number on the program was
encored and very willingly did they re-
spond to repeated calls, which showed
the appreciation of their audience.
The reader, Edwin Whitney, is a
true impersonator and his selections
certainly carried his hearers to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. His work is fine
and grows better.
AS quartette, their voices blend
beautifully and as soloists, each one
possesses the voice of an artist.
The Yale high school lecture course
was brought fittingly to close by this
fine concert. The five entertainments
have given Yale people five evenings
of enjoyment which were prolonged by
pleasing memories. Prof. Kellogg is
to be congratulated upon the success
of the whole course.

out In the least desiring to appear as
klckers, grumblers or faultfinders. the
TWO hundred citizens of Yale who
heard this debate, do certainly feel that
the verdict was, toput it mildly, very
unfair.
we lay up no unfriendliness against
marlette, we know where to place the
Dlame, but the principle which under
lay TINS decision is certainly not one
to emulate.
we are proud of our boys, who al.
though they did not receive the win
hing vote, were given plenty of honor
ana praise from all sides. For weeks
they have studied, written, committed
and practiced faithfully. and hard and
their work told.
AT the close of the debate all were
invited to the high school room where
reception was rendered participants
and visitors. Punch was served and a
fine program of music, speeches and
readings was given by Marlette talent.
NOTES.
Yale seems fated to get unfair de-
cislons but were big aud broad-minded
and we can stand It. As long as we
know we have the goods, our chance
to deliver them will be sure to come i'm
the sweet by and by.
The Yale Cornet Band put consider
able life into the party on their way to
Marlette last Friday evening. On the
return trip it would have taken more
than a brass band to revive our people
from the shock they received at the
hands of those cruel judges.
