AUDITORIUM PACKED TO cAPAc-
ITY THIS MORNING FOR OPEN.
ING EXERCISES.
ATHLETIC CONTESTS AT
HAMPER PARK THIS P. NJ,
Many Schools of South Mississippi
Represented - Rivalry for Honors
Adds nthusasm-Awards Will Be
Announced at Conclusion.

Oratory, music and song held the at
tention of an audience at the Audi
torium this morning equaling the size
of any gathering ever held in the build
ing. The orators, the musicians, the
singers were the selected students of
the public schools of South Mississippi
gathered in Hattiesburg to compete for
the honors of being the best in this por-
tion of the state. Many of the partici-
pants were the prize winners in their
respective counties and in other meets
held in the smaller cities All acquit-
ted themselves with honor to the in
stitutions represented.
A delay in getting started made it
impossible to complete the program at
the Auditorium this morning, so it was
continued until half past one this after
noon. At the conclusion of the pro-
gram all decisions will be made and
the prizes awarded.
The athletic meet began at Hamper
Park at 80 as scheduled.
First Event Pronounced Success.
More ideal weather conditions could
not have been wished for than that
given the first annual Hub City Inter
scholastic Field Meet and Oratorical
and Musical Contest in this city today.
All other features of the meet were
equally as auspicious. When the tu-
multi and the shouting dies this after
noon, when the athletic contests are
finished at Hamper Park and the laurel
wreathes have been figuratively placed
upon the brows of South Mississipi's
young Heraelidae, the day will go
down in the annals of the city as one
of the most successful and happy oc-
casions in its history.
In both the indoor and outdoor
events entries were made by schools
from Ellisville Laurel, Hattiesburg,
Collins, Silver Creek, Bourham High
school, Brookheven, Forrest County
High School, Lumberton, Gulfport,
Virgins, Meridian, Monticello Liberty,
Richton, Brooklyn and Popularville.
The rivalry between the teams was
lively at all times and the school spirit
of enthusiasm was rife from the time
the representatives of the different in
stitutions began to arrive until the
last decision was announced by the
Judges. But not one word of dissatis-
faction or "beefing" was heard from
the defeated contestants. Each of
them did his best and gloried in having
made a good fight regardless of not
having won victory.
Only high school students under 81
years of age who had attended school
three months during the present ses-
sion in South Mississippi were eligible
for participation, and all contestants
furnished certificates of eligibility
from the principals of the schools rep
resented by them.
Only merchandise prizes are being
awarded owing to the fact that money
prizes would bar all contestants from
future participation in college or anna
teur athletics. The greatest interest
is being exhibited in the efforts of
each school to capture the silver
trophy cup awarded by Joseph Sarphie
to the school winning the greatest
number of points in all events com
bined.

Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, ono of our

Of land cape gardening, says:
If now we ask when and where we

face of the ground and the plants it
hears with the wish to produce an or
ganlzed result that shall please the
eye? The name we usually apply to
1t must not mislead us into thinking
that this art is needed only for the
creation of broad landscape effects.
1t Is needed wherever we do more
than grow plants for the moneS we
may save or gain by them. 1t does
not matter whether we have in mind
a great park or a small city square, a
large estate or modest dooryard,
