For the local -%oratorical contest
which will take place in the city hall
on March IS, five contestants have
submitted their orations which are
now in the hands of the judges on
thought and style. The five parti-
;cipants in this most interesting event
are Orlando Horning, R. B. Tibbets,
+, John E. Washburn, Howard Hattie
way, and Samuel Marble. OF these,
Washburn and Marble have partici-
pated in former contests and have
made very creditable records. Two of
the three judges have already been
secured to judge OF delivery at the

occasions. The absence of the latter
effect is by edict of the faculty.
