Each year the banquet represents some special feature per taining to nature. This year it was in some Lumbering, and while respects a difficult subject for a party, yet it was carried out with every success. T he guests assembled at 4 : 30 to find themselves in the depths of the forest; the entry room being en tirely covered overhead with inter laced pines through which ligh's shone dimly. All the rooms were a veritable mass of evergreens in which bird's nests were cunningly placed. In another room a wood man's camp had been erected, with a campfire and saws and axes. Here were several comfortable seats where sentimentally inclined could sit and talk with only the campfire for a light. those more T he members themselves were dressed corresp'ondingly with the Each one wore the decorations. customary woodman's blue flannel shirts, with red neckties and no coats.

All interested in music were glad for the opportunity to hear the con cert given by the Cleveland Ladies' Orchestra, on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the A r m o r y, the concert being the 2nd number on the lecture course. It proved to be one of the best we have heard here. T en ladies con stitute the orchestra, with the direc tor M r. Alfred Metzdorf. T he program was made up of semi-classics—the most of the num bers being greatly enjoyed by the audience. T he best selections on the program were the " Excerpts from C a r m e n" and the solo taken from " Samson and Delilah." T he " Yankee C o u n s e l" by Alfred R o b y n, was interesting as the com position of an American, one of the best of the St. Louis musicians. T he orchestra were very gener ous with their encores, responding to every demand. J u d g i ng by the spontaneous applause, the audience liked best the descriptive number " T he Sleighride," in which the drummer in showed great handling the drum, bells, and num erous other contrivances for making noise. skill T he cornet and trombone solos, the quartette by the brass also instrumen's were greatly enjoyed. T he cornetist had a handsome instrument and brought out beauti ful, clear ringing tones, and the trom bone player kept every one wonder ing h ow she could regulate her instrument. Both did good playing, but lacked some in technique and ex pression. T he soprano singer, while having little a fairly good voice, showed artistic appreciation. S he also was not familiar with her music, and is by m means ready for the concert platform. thoroughly T he best work of the evening was done by the Director whose violin solos, especially the encore, Moskowski's " Serenata " showed his best finish, and his work should have received greater apprecia'ion. M r. Metzdorf on the whole im presses one as being sincere in his devotion this deserves great praise. to his art and in T h e re was a certain finish and delicacy of expression, in shading and phrasing, wanting in the work of the orchestra—that indefinable something which distinguishes the artist from the amateur—yet we do not care to be too critical and certainly all enjoyed the concert and derived pleasure and benefit from it.

Gifford and Nash, of Tip ton, I n d. He is a fine specimen of the breed and greatly strengthens the College flock of Dorset*, having been placed at its head. This ram was one of three reserve lambs out of a flock of thirty and was selected for the department by the firm of breeders. T h e re are t wo large black walnut trees on the flats. T he black wal nut usually seeks dry land and grows with a long, strong tap root. Those on the river bottoms adapt themselves to the place where they grow. Nothing is known as to their tap roots, but in digging on one side for a sewer and on another side for another purpose, it was found that within one foot of the surface, and at least sixty-five feet from the tree, were roots t wo inches in diameter.
