Last Saturday evening the faculty OF
the Mankato Commercial college royalty
departments. The spacious assembly
room of the college was the main center
of attraction, although a number of the
other rooms were beautifully lighted
and decorated, giving to them a home
like appearance which no doubt tended
to encourage the marked cordiality and
general good humor which prevailed
through the entire course of the evening.
In addition to this, the beautiful gowns
of the young ladies and the faultless at
tire of the young men, lent the graceful
appearance so prominent i'll the whole
assembly. The games for entertainment
the first part of the evening were
admirably well chosen and carried out.
The minor ones are too many to men
ton, but the hunting game" which con
stituted the greater part of the game
features was extremely exciting and in
cases, fatal, as some of those
who were discovered with the wrong
kind of game can probably tell if they
will. Prizes were awarded to the cham
pion hunter and the person finding the
greatest number of animals. Mr.. A. +.
Schwieger of the shorthand department
the prize for championship, hav-
ing found the elephant. Mr.. Allen of
the bookkeeping department and Miss
of the shorthand department, re-
ceived the second prizes.

were served by several of
the young ladies.
