FILLS GAP MECHANICALLY.

New York's Interborough Rapid
Transit company has perfected a me-
chanical gap-flling device which will
be used at subway stations on a
curve. 1t consists of a grated seq
ment Of the platform which is thrust
forward, filling the gap between the
car and the edge of the platform, the
movement being made just before the
train comes to a stop. The grating
remains in this position until the
train has started and moved a dis
tance of seven Or eight feet The
gap filler is operated by electro-pneu-

for a successfully conducted col

The program for this com
mencement week was much on
the same order of previous years,
and had been published for sew
eral weeks in the town papers.
The entertainment Saturday ev-
ening, May 30, by the Depart
ment of Expression, was a gen
eral program participated in by
seniors and those who had at
tanned during the year a de-
gree of proficiency, which merit
ed a public appearance at such
"a time. The numbers were well

diction aad distinct enunciation

Monday evening was devoted
to the alumnae, and was observ-
ed by them, with a number Of
invited guests, by the giving Of
a pretentious banquet in the
dining hall. Besides the feast,
there was good music and clever
toasts given.
On Tuesday evening occurred
the important meeting of the
Board Of Curators, the annual
reunion on the campus of Old
Girls, and the Grand Concert in
the evening. At the girls meet
ing the class of 1914 subscribed
$4,000 to the endowment fund
and about $4,000 was sItbscrib-
ed by old students for the same
purpose.
The Grand Concert this year
was quite up to the usual stand
ard. The graduates usually fur
nish the music for this occasion,
but this year the vocal part of the
program was supplemented by a
duet by two undergraduates. The
piano graduates this year have
been usually talented pupils, and
their numbers on the concert pro,
gram were most admirably exc
cuted. A large and enthusiastic
audience attested the interest
and appreciation towns people
take in music at Central.
