ing exhibition at the AgassiZ gymn-
asium will be given in the gym this
evening. The first half was held

ence was astonished at the work of
the pupils in the difficult drills.
The Hawthorne school orchestra
opened the program of the evening
with an overture. Following this
came the flag drills Of the first grades
of the Hawthorne, Central, Agassiz,
and Washington schools. This was a
very beautiful drill.
The second grade hoop drill follow

and Agassiz schools took part. The
calisthenic drill by the pupils Of the
third grades of the Central, Washing
ton, Hawthorne. and Agassiz schools
was given in time to orchestra music,
md was heartily applauded.
The Varfva Vadmal drill given by
the fourth grades Of the Hawthorne,
Agassiz, Lincoln, Roosevelt. and Long
fellow schools, was carefully prepared,
and finely given, and made q big hit.
Marching steps by the fifth grades
Of the Hawthorne and Agassiz, and

The seventh grade AgassiZ pupils
gave a single stick drill, and went
through it in a lawless manner. Then
came the Indian club drill by the
eighth grade Agassiz pupils, and the
Highland Fling, by the Agassiz girls,
both OF which numbers were finely
given and brought forth hearty ap-
plause.
The Boys Gym club of the eighth
grade and the high school put on some
thrilling stunts on the apparatus. The

performed the seemingly difficult task
of scaling the twelve foot wall, easily
and gracefully. Tarantella - by the
Agassiz seventh grade girls was the
last number, and fittingly concluded
the program.

Murphy fought a courageous, ag-
gressive battle, but never was danger

was no disIaating the referees decision
at the end OF the twenty rounds. Muir

Questionable round, and perhaps two
could have been given him even, but
the remainder were all Ritchie's by a
wide margin. In the sixth, the tenth,
the fifteenth and the twentieth rounds
Murphy was dazsd and staggering. He
reeled and clinched and covered UP
and leaned against the ropes. Only his
vitality and his courage saved him
from a. knockout.

last round. he bounded to his feet

ADDRESSES AT The
NORMAL SCHOOL

A number of addresses were given
during the week at the normal school.
On Tuesday morning, Professor Wood
spoke at chapel of the great work Of
George Westinghouse, the inventor,
who died March IL in New York. MI.
Wood briefly sketched his life. saying
that he was born in New York state
of a family Of ingenious mechanical
bent, entered school, served in the
army as private, cavalryman, and
engineer. He went to college in New
York. He turned his attention to in
venting. His chief invention is the
air brake which, it is said, has saved
more lives than were lost in the Ma
p%oleonic wars. He worked also with
the alternating electrical current, the
modern railroad signal, gas turbine,
and a multitude of other useful things.
At his death the Westinghouse COM
pany controlled $4,000 patents, 300 Of
which were those Of Mr.. Westing-
house. Mr.. Wood characterized Mr..
Westinghouse as one Of the great bene-
factors Of mankind.
On Wednesday morning DR.. Stearns
Of Fargo college, addressed the young
women Of the school on the subject,
Our Responsibilities in the Use Of Our
Mental Faculties. His forceful appeal
for mental activity and constant alert
ness was an inspiration to all who
heard him. He spoke Of the uncon-
scious waste Of time and energy, using
illustrations from life to illuminate
the points.
Professor Wilson spoke to the men,
bers of the Y. M. C. A. Thursday noon
at the weekly meeting of that
society.
On Thursday afternoon Professor
Wood addressed the members of the
faculty on the subject Of teaching
spelling. His review Of the matter
was exceedingly thorough. The sub
ject was discussed for a while by
members Of the faculty, then a COM
mittee was appointed to examine the
matters and make q report later.
The annual Arbor and Bird day
exercises were novel and valuable.
Since Professor Wilson Is making a
study Of birds, and has a class in the
study of them, he was asked to give
an illustrated lecture of some of the
essentials in the study and preserva-
ton Of our friends Of the air. Mr..
Wilson's effort was sympathetic and
interesting. He showed pictures Of
the many birds that come to u
regions in the spring, and Of those
that stay with us. His plea was that
we learn to study birds with a blass
and hunt them to know them rather
than to kill them. He asked the teach
ers in the school who will O come
into contact with the boys and girls
in the country, to interest their pupils
in this delightful study.

A PRAYER

Lord give me strength for my burdens
b. today,
Let me bear what is mine unafraid,
me stand, head erect and face front
to fray,
Nor call to my brothers for aid.
I ask not easier pathways to tread
Nor easier burdens to bear,
But I pray for, the courage, to journey
ahead,
And alone I would conquer my care.
Lord, make me strong for the tasks OF
today
Let me master them all il I can,
And if I must falter and fall by the
way
7 pray 7 may fall as a man.

of a fight that Richie liked. The
champion waited for the challenger tt
come to him, and caught him repeat
eddy with straight lefts to the face
and heavy left and right rips to the
body. Repeatedly Murphy took blows
delivered with full force which made
him gasp and back up, but after an
instant's hesitation, he was always
able to crowd, back with a brisk rally
of short arm blows. In the last round
the champion was crowding Murphy
about the ring, measuring him with
his left for a heavy right cross, and
still failed to carry a knockout. n.
Murphy scarcely landed a clean sim

to advantage it was with a shower OF
short arm uppercuts and body blows.
