social event. Previous to the ball came

Venice" which was not only clever in
conception but was finely handled by the
High school students who made up the
cast Glass basketball with a silver cup
for a trophy was the attraction of the
afternoon altogether making the second
day of the fair one in which there was
something doing from the time the doors
opened in the afternoon until they were
closed after the ball.

mostly students, and the girls cheered
even more loudly than the boys when
brilliant play was made.
The first part of the evening was given
over to the performance of THE Mer-
| chant of Venice, Up-to-Date." In this
| amusing burlesque of the Merchant OF
Venice" football and other modern sports
| and customs are intermingled with the
very words of the Shakespearian drama
| in such a way as to cause many laugh.
| The forfeit instead of being a pound OF
| flesh nearest the heart, as in the Shake
| srearian play, is a pound of hair nearest
| the brain of Antonio. who in the modern
version is a football player. and Antonio
! is finally relieved from the dilemma by
| the professor testifying that he has no
| brain. Charles Allen as Antonio and
Dora Maddox as Portia were excellent in
| the principal roles and were we'll sup

The ball with which the fair concluded
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large
number of dancers present. The dance
