Shining with all his might:

And this was odd, because II was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done
"It,s yery rude of him. she SAID,
sTo come and spoil the fun"
THE seat was wet as wet could be.
THE sands were dry as dry,
You could not see cloud. because
: No cloud was in the sky;
NO birds were flying overhead
There were no birds to fly.
The walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
!. Such quantities of sand:
,"Jf this were only cleared away,

IF seven maida with seven mops

20 OYSTERS come and WALL with us!'

But never word he said:
The eldest oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head
Meaning to say he Gid not choose
To leave the oyster bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their face
washed,
Their shoes We're clean and neat
And this was odd, because, you know
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
ANT yet another four:
And thick and fast thev came at last
And more and more. and more
All hopping through the frothy wave
And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
Conveniently low:
And all the little oysters stood
And waited in a row.

SPORTS
ATHLETIC TOURNAMENT.

The preliminaries of the athletic
tournament at the opera house Fri
day night will be announced tomor-
row or tthe next day, and will consist
of three or four good glove contests.
It was at first thought best to omit
the battle royal between five white
boys, but after further consideration
1t was decided 10 pull off this event.
Collins and Montour, who are to
meet in a catch-as-catchca wrestling
match as the main event will be in
not later than Thursday. The Indian
comes from the south and Collins
from the east. The latter has been
training in Cleveland for the past
five days and leaves there today. He
will stop at indianapolis for a match
with a middleweight wrestler who
has a good reputation in the east.
The attendance at the opera house
Friday night promises to break all
records for the season, and a good
program is certain. This may be ac-
counted for by the good showing
Chief Montour made against Collins
here recently, which aroused more
than ordinary interest locally in the
Indian, many of the local sports en-
thusiasts maintaining that Collins
will have the hardest tussle of the
season. if not defeated.
