Officers Elected.

There was called meeting yester-
day of the Westminster Aid Society
of Bay Street Presbyterian church for
the purpose of electing officers for
the ensuing year. The meeting was
opened by Rev. r. L. Campbell after
which he gave the ladies a helpful
talk about the choice of officers. Then
the retiring president, Mrs. A.U. Mont
gomery, took the chair. This society
has adopted most splendid rule,
which sould be adopted and followed
by all the other societies. They elect
each year an entirely new set of Of
ficers. Hence that gives all the men,
bers chance to become officers, and
then, too, should an officer render
themselves unpopular, that is a nice
way to get relief. Though in this cleo
ton there was genuine cause for re-
greet as each officer had admiralty
filled their different places. and twas
hard to give them up, and especially
was this true of Mrs. George Kamp,
the faithful secretary, not only had
she made splendid record as a Sec
rotary, but she has been one of the
leading lights in every capacity in the
society. However, in the selections
made yesterday, all were highly pleas
ed, and each one will very creditably
fill the place. Following are the ones
elected: President. Mrs. T. J. Jack
son; vice president, Mrs. A. D.
Draughn; treasurer, Mrs. H. E. Girl
fin; secretary, Mrs. C. T. Singleton;
organist, Mrs R. L. Campbell; re-
porter, Miss Annie Gay The regular
weekly meeting will be at the church
Monday afternoon at o'clock.
Reading Circle Entertained.
Mrs. A A. Foote very charmingly en-
tertained the Reading Circle of the
Foreign Missionary Society Main
Street Methodist church Thursday
afternoon at her hospitable home on
East Fifth street. The subject for
the afternoon was Industrial Mis- |
sions." and four splendidly written
and very instructive papers were read. |

Stewart Stephens; Industrial Missions
in Africa by Mrs. w. w. Leland;
Sketch of the Industrial School at |
LovedAls,' Africa, by Mrs. ]. S. Turner;
Industrial Missions Generally by Mrs. |
w. s. F. Tatum. The inclement wealth |
err prevented some from attending, |
still the faithful few braved the wealth |
er, and certainly a more delightful af- |
terpoon was never before spent as
was this. The cordial greeting from
the lovely hostess. the warmth and |
brightness within dispelled all |
thoughts of deariness, hence the time
was most enjoyably, as well as profit
ably spent. A delicious salad course !,
was served, making most fitting end
ing for an afternoon SO pleasant

BASE BALI At GEORGETOWN
SCHEDULE PREPARED BY MAN.
AGER HUGHES SPALDING.

Hughes Spalding. the manager of the
Georgetown University base ball team, has
prepared the schedule of base ball games
for the coming season.
AS the Syracuse team has had to cut
out it's southern trip, the game with
Georgetown for April IS has been can
celed
Cornell and Harvard are on the locals
list for the first time in a number OF
years They take Yale's place. for the
Ellis have decided not to come south this
spring.
Notre Dame and West Virginia are SUBJ
stituted in place of George Washington.
Georgetown will have no paid coach this
year. Capt. Simon. in conjunction with
odd grads" and friends of the univer-
sity will look after this end of the work.
This plan is something new in college
base bali and it's result will be watched
with interest.
Theer Is considerable good new mate
rial on hand, from both local and New
York high schools. and the Blue and
Gray followers are expecting the best
team in years.
The management has removed the old
'hat-box." formerly the grand stand be-
fore the new one was built. and has
placed three sections of the new bleachers
in it's stead. This is expected to increase
the seating capacity of the grounds and
convenience of the patrons of the sport.
Capt. Simon will issue a call for candi-
dates about Wednesday, and. with the per-
mission Of the faculty director of ath-
letics, will use Ryan gymnasium to linn
Der I'D the arms of the pitchers and catch
ers. Heretofore it has been the glaring
fault OF Georgetown that its pitchers are
never in shape for the early games. and
that necessarily affects its standing later
in the season. This error will be avoided
as far as possible.
The schedule follows:
town; March %, Catholic University at
Georgetown; March %, William and Mary
at Georgetown.
