for her unmarried friends benefit. She
tried TO mend matters, even to the ex-
tent Of being particularly nice to her hus-
band, but 1t was too late; the stage setting
was awry, the picture would not come
right
The guests departed early. The good
nights were cordial in tone but not in
spirit. When all had gone but Julia, who
was to spend the night. Georgianna got
the first word.

their Joy is boundless and noisy. Their
favorite story about Barnard baseball is
how three years ago one husky young
freshman sent the ball over the fence and how
the game had to be stopped for ten minutes
while the lady umpire, who was not pre-
pared Cor such an emergency, sat right down
on the pitchers plate and searched madly
in her book Of rules for the place that dealt
with this dilemma.
But great is the sorrow Of Columbia when,
as this year, field day turns out to be 80 rainy
that the events have to be run of in the
gymnasium. In that case the ball game is
cut out Of the schedule and all field events,
such as the tennis finals and the baseball
throw, are postponed,
The difficulty OF holding the 90 yard dash
in the gymnasium made the event some-
what exciting this year, for in the first heat
many Of the girls could not stop in time and
dashed against the wall ladders with such
force that many Of them were knocked out.
The event went to the freshmen, giving
them an encouraging score with which to
start the day.
The high jump was won in splendid style
by the sophomores, with the juniors next
but when it came to the eight pound shot
put the youngest girls again walked away
with the event. In the baseball throw the
sophomores and juniors scored once more,
and the seniors saved themselves from
being whitewashed by winning the tennis
tournament hands down.
The final triumph Of the freshman class
came in the hurdles, which their champion,
Lillian Schroeder, won in clean style. In
fact Miss Schroeder practically won the
day for her class by carrying of Ave gold
medals, thereby breaking all previous COL
lege records for individual.

BARNARD'S GIRL ATHLETES
uHY THE FRESHMEN WON MOST
POINTS ON FIELD DAY.

s,,,mp of Interest In Sports From Fresh.
man to senior Year-The Dwindling
yccorsis- Baseball Games Played by
Girls That Columbia students Enjoy.
20 Barnard girl was surprised when the
freshman class won nest points on field
day this yaar, for II is long established
Characteristic OF the students at this COL
lerc that their athletic enthusiasm is in
inverse ratio to the number OF years COM
pleted. Unlike the case at other colleges,
where the daily training usually has the
effect of increasing the interest and the pro-
ncieDcy in athletics, the Barnard girl loses
most OF her interest in the junior year and
all of her proficiency by the time she be-
comes n senior.
As freshman. to be sure, nothing can
hold her. She spends hours at basketball
practice, uses the freshman study as an
arena for Greek wrestling. and goes through
tho prescribed hours Of gymnasium work
with evident joy In the second year this
ardor Invariably becomes somewhat damp
ened by the cold, calm logic Of the essay
writing which is required Of every Barnard
sophomore. She keeps up her regular
irriDng and basketball practice very
religiously, but more for the purpose Of
hes ting the freshmen than ont OF interest
in the subject.
In junior year the study no longer reechoes
with violent discussions about the probable
chances for victory in the next interclass
match or on field day. The junior study is
always the noisiest because juniors have
the least to do, but the conversations are
not about athletics. And as for the seniors,
nothing but the feeling that the honor Of
the class ia at stake could force them away
from their cherished privilege. the study
tea table.
This gradual slump in ath etio interest
can easily be traced both in the history
of the classes and in the records Of the more
prominent champions, The class Of 1907, one
OF the most enthusiastic that ever entered
Barnard, began by sweeping up everything
during the first two years Of its college
life and ended by coming in last on the
field day Of it's senior year. The sister class,
90, begSn it's career with the same zest.
In their sophomore year the 90 girls
were so sure Of field day. that the leaders
of the class arranged for the triumph loag
before the contest had been held, and one
year later the study billboard held this
notice just before field day:
Members of 1909: The class positively
must not come in last on field day To
their credit I've it said they didn't.
The record for the champion baseball
throw, which was held for four years by
the same girl, begins with 1860 feet for the
first year throw, lse for the second, IT'S
feet in the third year. and only 1893 feet as
her hsst throy as senior.
One class proved itself remarkable ex-
ccpton 10 this rule Of athletic deterioration
and thareby made itself famous in the AL
nails oi the college history. The class of 1905
entered brimfu of energy and enthusiasm.

few years ago Barnard was the only
woman's college where the mems rules for
basketball were used. A few rough games
and several accidents called the attention
of the faculty to this fact and the girls were
told that they would either have to use
women's rules or stop playing.
The students chose to give up basketball
altogether and for a whole year not a single
teamwas organized. The faculty, however.
were not impressed, and when the girls saw
that their strike was useless they took up
the game again under the new rules.

undergraduates every member OF the
varsity basketball team was q 1905 girl and
In interolass matches they were never
known to be defeated. It is rather a natural
result that such energy often found an
outlet which met with disfavor in the eyes
Of the faculty.
No excuses are made by the Barnard
upper class girls for the decrease Of their
enthusiasm for athletics.

.hs negroes In rne so that the Re-
publican candidates could make this
announcement. But they lid not go
FAR before learning that II as no
easy matter to get the negro to
agree to Jim Crow himself. Dis
sension began to grow. and threats
were made against those negroes
who were employed to get the ne
sroes In line on this question. The
negroes began to shake their heads,
while the Republicans pleaded all
the harder. Quite a number OF the
colored v:ters have announced that
they will support the Democratic
ticket II the local Republicans an
nounce that they are in favor of
separate coaches. for they say, they
prefer for such law 20 be given
them by party which is at least
sincere In its attitude instead of
coming from a party which uoses
as the great friend OF the negro.
This has furrowed the brows of
the two Republican candidates for
the legislature. The matter was
gravely discussed on Monday night
at self-constituted caucus with
the leaders who were here to open
the campaign. The Republican
leaders in the state are not willing
for the Mercer delegates to declare
inf avor Of the Jim Grow" law on
account OF the effect It may have on
the balance of the state. because Il
would be cited that the Republicans
In the southern portion OF the state
were in favor of separate cars and
that the negroes had agreed to IL
(proTded they could SO arrange
with the negroes) and this would
make against them with the ne
groes In other section.
They are sure to lose the white
Republican vote unless they will
agree to vote for separate coaches.
They will ALLEVIATE the negro if
they promise to vote for such a law
Now that they have promised a mum

on this question Is one that 40
length OF time can solve sat.sfacto-
rily. 1t is hard proposition and We
expect to continue To see them
sweat drops of blood over its So
luton.
But the white voters know the
solution. They remember that Re-
publican legislature killed a sepa-
rate car bill two years ago. They
know the platform of the Democrat
&c party ON this question, and while
many have not openly announced 1t.
they will vote the state Democratic
ticket this fall. They Will do this
Tor he sake of their wives, mothers,
and sisters.
