The game was. in many respects.
the best exhibition OF ball playing
that has been Witnessed on the home
grounds this season. Mcclure
school. although it comes under the
head of a prep. school. has a good
team that has made reputation for
itself this year. having defeated
Richmond College in the early part
o. the season. This reputation il
fully maintained in Wednesday s
game by its exhibition OF head work

Joe Boehling for the visitors. follow

lowed but three hits, issued one
pass. and struck out twelve men
Boehling struck out ten men, issued
two passes. and allowed three hits.
The feature of the game was Lewis s
home run hit and "spectacular"
dash around the diamond. AS he
crossed the home plate. a spectator
was heard to murmur. Truly. the
days OF miracles have not passed. &"
The game was umpired by Mr.. SaV-

The scoring for the visitors was
done by Miller. and for William and

An effort is being made to secure
a game for final week. the game TO

exercises. Also It is rumored that
the faculty and the senior class will
meet in ball game before the close

With this issue. Topics closes its
first volume. and the editor bids
farewell to the students and closes
his connection with this paper.
To the several who have from
time to time. aided US in this publ
cation. we extend hearty thanks. and
to the many readers who have re.
Trained from criticisms. at times pos
sibly very Just ones. we extend our
appreciation OF their forbearance.
In the first issue this year. we
stated it as our object TO bind the
student-body together more closely.
to bring the three educational insti-
tudons of Williamsburg in close
touch, and. above all. to raise an in
terest in and an enthusiasm for our
college. Whether we have been
successful in any of these objects re
mains with you 10 decide. If we
have been succ essful in any one. we
feel more than satisfied. one rarely
meets with all the success he is striv-
ing after.
To say that we lay down the edi-
torial pen. or more accurately. the
editorial pencil, with a feeling Of
pain would hardly be true. This
paper has been new phase in the
literary world. if il may be included
under such term. at William and
Mary. and even though judging from
the matter published in these pages.
it may have seemed a rather light
task to get il together. such has not
been the case. In addition 10 get
ting together the matter for publica-
ton. there has been a financial end
of the question TO look after. and all
of this has required time and labor.
Therefore. we say that it is with a
feeling of relief rather than of pain
that we lay down our completed task
without having had to suspend
publication.
During the year. much of the mat
ter published in these columns has
been laughingly referred to as bits of
morallzing. We do not blame the

to be revived at the Coincide franchise,
and at this revival of Victor Hugo's
play q box will be reserved for the
poets daughter. Adele Hugo. The story
Of Adele Hugo Is tragedy. She lives
with one companion in q house at
Neuilly. and from lone weeks end to
another never speaks word. She Is
an old woman now, and although she
Is neither dumb nor insane. she has
spoken no word since she was twenty
years Of age. Now and again the
fancy takes her to go to the theatre.
Then box Is hired for her, in which
she sits with her companion without a
word. without q smile, without q ges-
ture Of endowment.
The most curious thing about Adele
Hugo. 10 that no one knows exactly
what were the details Of her LIES
tragedy. When she was eighteen years
of age she ran away from her fathers
house in Guernsey with an Englishman
IAN officer In the army. This much
Is known. although the name of the Of
flcer In question has never been dis
closed His daughters disappearance
was terrible grief to the poet. who
spent large sums Of money looking for
her. After nearly two years Adele HUI
70 was found wandering about the
streets OF New York saying: IT am
Victor Hugos daughter: help mel" She
was sent back to her father, but she
has never spoken since. and no one
knows exactly what she suffered.
though one may guess that her sun
srings have been terrible.

know, whether he was dead or alive.
At the same time another magistrate
was examining q man, aged about ffty.
who was accused OF burglary. For
some reason or other II was thought
that there might be . connection be-
tween the two crimes ana the alleged
burglar and murdere's accomplish were
brought face to face. They were as
much astonished as the magistrates
20 find that they were father and son.
How did you get here7'' asked the
father. And your retorted the son.
who at arst had not been able to recog-
nice his parent. especially an the latter
wore false beard and moustache.
This was another revelation TO the
Judges. The young man said that his
father had never worn beard, and
could not grow one. The alleged bur-
glars face was ex@inined, and the.
beard was found TO be spurious. The
meeting between father and son was
uot so cordial In consequence as IL
might have been under other circum-
stances.

Italian straw. The sole trimming Is q

Very dainty and becoming are the
summer hats which are trimmed only
with a large bow of white or cream
lace tied with many loops and wired
invisibly so that the folds OF the lace
may not become limp.
