HILLSDALE. in Tomorrow at four o'clock occurs the first championship game in w hich M. A. C. is a factor. Hillsdale has undoubtedly one of strongest the teams the state. Palmer will pitch for the visitors. Adrian se cured only one hit from his delivery while 14 men retired. T he U. of M. got 10 hits. M r. Palmer is con sidered one of the best pitchers in Michigan. Hyde will do the twirl ing for M. A. C. We are in the race to win and will not give an inch until the last man is out in the last inning. Everybody should be out to help win this game. BASEBALL TRIP. M. A. C. left for Albion on Tues day morning to cross bats with the preachers. T he game was a close one throughout and while we were defeated, the work done was excel lent. Albion has a strong team and is a hard team to defeat on her home grounds. M. A. C. was crippled on account of Chapman's injured hand. Canfield caught a fine game buttheshiftingof the players worked A l b i on some disadvantage. to treatment. accorded the boys royal T he score: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R HE 1 — 1 5 3 M. A.

A lucky bunching of hits by Kalamazoo gave her five runs and the game. H y de pitched a star game which would have won nine times out of ten. T he hits were short but just out of reach. Luck was with Kalamazoo and she played good ball at opportune times. T he treatment received was all that could be desired. An excellent spirit has prevailed thus far. Keep it up.

C. can defeat both of them and will do so in the championship games. A return game was played with Detroit College at Detroit on Satur day. T he day was rainy and as no grounds could be secured a few stakes were put up in a grassy park. T he regular umpire could not locate this park and so a y o u ng boy by the name of Doyle, a brother to Detroit's coach, was suggested. All went well till the last half of the ninth. W i th the score 4 to 1 in favor of M. A. C, the umpire suddenly lost his sight and the first three men walked. T he next two hit the ball and the game was over. We don't want to kick, but facts are facts. De Haene and Linskey form a good battery and that is all there is to the whole Detroit team. T he score: 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 R HE M. A.

P. Robinson and M r. M c W e t hy bearing on the subject of motives which were instructive and helpful. T he meeting was well attended, the room being quite full. Sunday morning R e v. Edwards conducted chapel service. His theme was human resolution, and the text was E p h. 6:11, " P ut on the whole armor of God." Sunday night Mr. A. B. Parsons, General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at the U. of M., addressed the union meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.'s. He referred to the fact that a few years ago the colleges of America were largely atheistic, but showed how the Christian faith and principles are making rapid strides in colleges and how the representative college men, the best in scholarship, fraternity work and athletics, are becoming the leaders in the Y. M. C. A. movement. T he address was one of helpfulness and encourage ment. R. E. H. CONCERT. that evening. T he College Faculty have grant to the students ed a half-holiday M ay 19th, because of the great concert to be given by the M. A. C. Chorus on T he soloists who will assist the Chorus are among the best and it has been arranged to have an afternoon con cert by the artists—all to be given in the College A r m o r y. It is not often that the college students and the people of Lansing and the surrounding country have the opportunity of hearing a good chorus assisted by competent artists render such music. T he Oratorio " T he Creation" to be given in the evening is second Its to Handel's "Messiah." only melodies are charming, the rhythms smooth and flowing, the harmonies pleasing, and while the Oratorio is a masterpiece, these attributes make in it more easily the chorus work adaptable to comparatively untrain ed voices than many another less worthy composition whose harmon ies are odd and unexpected and whose rythms are complicated. in H a y dn had a wonderful gift imitation and in the story of the Creation had opportunity to display all his gifts, representing chaos, the rage of Satan and his hosts, the raging storms, the murmuring ripple of the brooklet, the roaring of the billows, the cooing of the doves, the prancing of the horse, etc., and lastly, the grand praises of God sung by angels and men. No one should fail to hear this grand work. T he fee will be very reasonable considering the merit of the concert. Tickets will be on sale within a few days. R e m e m b er the date, May 19th, both afternoon and evening.

Burns, Adrian by M r. C. W. Ober, and the University of Michigan by M r. E. Halliday. T he first place to Mr. Halliday and second to M r. Ober. T he attendance was small which is much regretted as the program, consisting of the orations, two songs by the M. A. C. quartette and piano solos by Miss Freyhoffer and Miss Mack, was very entertain ing. No doubt the house would have been filled had M. A. C. been represented in the contest. Saturday morning the closing ses sion of the conference was held in the College chapel. A report of the different local leagues was given and a general discussion of methods held. M r. W. Corbett, chairman of the Prohibition party of Michigan, then presented the opportunities of college men in the work during the coming summer vacation.

" T he week ly visits of the M. A. C. R E C O RD are welcome. But for the college paper we would be quite in the dark as to doings at M. A. C ." Prof. Latta has issued a circular to county superintendents of schools explaining the attitude of the uni versity, and particularly of the the school of agriculture, towards new education. He makes a strong plea rural for schools and says the obstacles in the way of progress are: " ( 1) the existing traditions as to the school curriculum and ( 2) the difficulty of getting properly trained teachers." T he advantages of Purdue are set forth and correspondence is invited. A very neat and artistic little book let giving views of the agricultural department accompanies the- circu lar. nature study that in '82. Mrs. L. H.

In an interview with Prof. Taft, the following points were noted in regard to the St. Louis Exposition: T he work has been much delayed on account of the weather. Six inches of snow fell about the middle the grounds very of April and left the buildings In most of muddy. the displays were not ready at the opening day, April 30. Most of them, however, will be ready in a few weeks. T he exposition is very large, be ing about twice the size of the Chi cago exposition. T he illumination is very fine, surpassing that at Buf falo. T he electrical building is well is well equipped and everything arranged. T he agricultural build ing occupies 18 acres and the horti cultural 6 acres. T he Missouri ex hibit is very complete and artistic. T he buildings in general are much larger than at Chicago. T he state buildings are nearly fin is ished. T he Michigan building small yet ample for all needs. It is located near the west end of the fish eries building and is in a basin which gives it a rather poor appearance. It compares favorably with other state buildings when the cost of erec tion is considered. T he exposition grounds are about 6 miles west of the city and occupy the west end of Forest P a r k. T he soil is clay. Hotel accommodations are quite good. An intermural rail way, S miles long, runs around the grounds, except on the north side, and passes near the principal build ings. Sick have been visited and flower mission organized to send flowers to their rooms and the hospital. Y. M. C. A. Annual and Direc tory has been published.
