The arrangements Ior the COM
mencement exercises are about COM
pleted and the formal fnvitatinos will
be mailed in few days. The eXer-
cfses bid fair to surpass those Of any
previous year. It is believed that a
large crowd will be attracted to
Gainesville by the occasion.
In about half of the exercises sched-
uled, the music will be rendered by the
Gainesville Philharmonic Society. This
society, although of recent formula
ton, has done good work, and, to
Judge by its public recital given at the
auditorium this week, will add greatly
to the pleasure of our visitors. On
the other occasions the music will be
rendered by a local orchestra
There are twenty-nine in the grad
uating class, all of whom, it is be-
lieved, will be successful on the final
examinations. OF these, eight are reg
istered in the College Of Arts and
Scientists, five in the College of En-
gineering, two in the College of Agri-
culture, and fourteen in the College OF
Law.
The exercises begin on Friday even
ing with a contest between the repre-
more classes. Saturday night, the
gymnasium team, which has peen
coached by Mr.. Pile, will give an exhi-
bition. This team has already ap-
peared publicly on several occasions
and has won for itself much applause.
The baccalaureate sermon and the
address before the Y. M. G. A. will be
delivered Sunday, May %, by DR.. w. o
| Carver, Ph.D., D. D., Of the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, Louis
vile, KY.

Honorable Mr.. Fleming, OF Jackson
Vile. after which they will have tht
annual banquet. 1t is hoped that 6

afternoon for the entertainment OF thu
visiting Alumni.

SHIPPING TRANSACTIONS AND
NOTES OF INTEREST ALONG
THE BAY FRONT.

The big steamer Baldwin, recently
purchased in Mobile by Captain Ben
ME Edundsen, arrived in port Sunday.
The steamer is a model one for the
excursion business in which she is to
be used, and was largely patronized
Sunday.
The river steamer Eugene is in from
points up the Choctawhatchee with a
cargo Of naval stores, and loaded re-
turn cargo yesterday.
Several small boats arrived In port
yesterday with total catches Of $500
pounds of mackerel for Saunders &
Co.
The steamer Manteo arrived in port
yesterday with a good cargo and a
number of passengers.
New York the Greatest Seaport.
The bureau Of statistics, department
of commerce and labor, at Washing
ton, has prepared tables which show
that New York stands in first place as
a seaport, with London second and
Antwerp third.
The tonnage Of exports and i'm
ports passing through New York in
1909 was estimated at 12,52S,723. In
the same period the tonnage of the
port of London totaled 11,194,073.
These estimates are, of course, sub
ject to fiuctuation from year to year,
but the bureau of statistics still keeps
New York at the head Of the list.
The Eattleship Delaware's Success.
After a South American cruise last
ing SO days, and during which she
travelled more than 1900 miles, the
battleship Delaware recently arrived
off this coast and reported to navy
department by wireless her readiness
for any duty. She was directed tc
make her steaming tests, and departed
| Immediately for the Rockland course
without the slightest delay for re-
| pairs Of any kind.
On her trials she exceeded % knots
on several of the runs, and during 8
24-hour run to test her machinery
measure fuel and water consumption
she averaged 21.2 knots. This vesse
was built by the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company and
was contracted to make 81 knots
