The down pour Of rain during the
day prevented the carrying out of
plans for some of the entertainment
which had been provided for the Wis

letic programme planned by the asso-

cade and Victoria mills, which had to
be abandoned on account of the rain.
In the afternoon the Red Men and
Daughters of Pocabontas were, taken
to Winthrop college, where Arecep-
ton was rendered them by President

faculty and students. This proved to
be one of the features Of the en-
tertainment OF the visitors, as all were
delighted with the institution and the
cordial reception given them.
