CANVASMEN DROP TENT
TO HUNT OLD HARE

Quite an amusing incident occurred
at the circus field yesterday. About
three score Of negroes were employed
in helping to erect the large tents.
The canvas for the main tent was being
unrol!cd and the negroes would grab
the edges and 20 running into assign
ed positions. When they had one of
the largest sections and were scam
pering into line. they scared up Mol
iy CottontaiL" Immediately every ne
gro dropped his hold on the canvas and
took out after Molly" 1t appeared
as If champion football match were
in progress. as the negroes went pell-
nell into a heap in the center of the
field with poor Molly" underneath.
Finally one long lanky negro rose up,
giving a yell and holding high the
trophy OF the hunt. Each negroes
mouth was watering as they all were
called back to duty.

NEW PLAY BY PUPILS

The production last year of "The
Yokohama Maid" was a splendid dra-
matte success, and "The Pirates of
Penzance' promises, with the Student
Body and faculty in solid support of
it, to surpass in art that of its pre-
decessor.
One of the great advantages this
year for practice and presentation
will be the use of the handsome the
atre auditorium of the new building.
Work on the lively choruses has al
ready been begun by the glee clubs.
"The Pirates of Panzance' is a
high class comic opera, and will take
long and hard practice before it is
