 MISS BIGGART'S LEcTURE.-AIissI Mabelle Biggart gave a very interest ing and instructive entertainment in the lecture room of the M. F. Church South last evening. in her lecture on George Eliot and her interpretation through the medium of her own drama uzation of the famous story of Adam Bede. The audience was not as large as the merit of the recital deserved but it was com posed of the best people ue the city and all who went were greatly edified. The presentment was a plea for social purity. the scenes and les sons drawn being greatly spiritualized There was. however. a liberal sprink- ling of humOr and pathos that provoked sometimes laughter and sometimes tears. or at least the mental condi- ton that precedes them. The impe. sonations of the speaker were of the finest and her literary talents welo displayed to good advantage nOtwith- standing the fact that she was suffer ing from a severe cold. The solo by Mrs. Dameron was good as was the music of the accompanists.

The normal has beaten the Indians twice and the high school once, but the Indians and the high school have not yet crossed bats. It is possible yet for the high school to defeat the normal, though the chances seem to be against it. But in any event the high school would like to at least capture second place which is the best thing the Indians can hope for now. The next game will be play cd on Saturday between the high school and the Indians, at the high school. and it promises to be a warm one. Both sides are confident. for the high school is not yet admitting that it will win the two possible ames from the normal, while the Indians are sure they are good for at least sec ond place in the series. Ia any event a good game is promised for Satur- day unless the snow is too deep which is hardly likely A week from Satur- day the high school will meet the nor nal on it's own grounds and at that time will either strengthen. or lose entirely, it's hope for first place in the series
