T he military hop on Friday even ing was enjoyed by about ninety couples. T he armory was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting, and the platform in the center of the room, erected for the musicians, was sur rounded by plants and ferns. A b o ut the usual number of uni Fisher's forms were in evidence. orchestra of Kalamazoo furnished excellent music throughout, and the affair was one of the most pleasant of the term. T he patrons of the evening were P r e s. and M r s. Sny der, Dr. and M r s. W a t e r m an and Miss Gilchrist. LAWN FETE. the in front of the box being A lawn fete will be held on the campus the W o m e n 's Building Friday evening, M ay 26. T h is was the date mentioned for the regular musical concert, but it was decided to hold this fete instead. A fine musical program will be pre sented at this time and a big auction of mysteries will also be made a prominent part of the exercises. Each young lady member of the chorus will furnish a box to be sold to the highest bidder, the contents of mysterious to be found only after something the purchase. T he witch of Agnesi will be on hand and reveal to those w ho are anxious concerning their past, present and future the correct information desired as she is a for tune teller of world wide reputation. ice the cream and cake will be served on the lawn, and a general good time It is hoped that all is anticipated. who read this notice will come and bring their friends with them. A committee has been appointed to arrange for staging and seats on the lawn and to, in many other ways, provide means for giving everyone a verv pleasant evening. Supper in the various clubs will be served at 5 130 on that evening. Come over right after supper for your ice cream and cake and stay until 9 :30. T h r o u g h o ut evening, Y. M. C. A. Last T h u r s d ay evening M r. A. Craig led a very interesting meeting on the subject, "If Christ Came to M. A. C ." M r. Craig's talk was optimistic, as it should be. T he discussion which followed was help ful and interesting. spoke R e v. M r. Sanderson in chapel Sunday morning. His theme was the day by day growth of the spiritual and moral man. T he small attendance at the Sunday morning services is not encouraging. T he sermons are interesting and the mu sic all that could be desired, and there is ample time in which to at tend the down town services after chapel. L et us make it "standing room only" for the rest of the year. Sunday evening M r s. Esselstyn gave one of the best talks of the year in her description of Persian customs. She spoke in particular of the the wretched condition of women and lower classes of Persia, and made us feel glad that we live in a liberal Christian country. In order to make her talk more real istic M r s. Esselstyn donned the cos tume of a Persian woman. T he service was well attended. FARMERS' CLUB. On Tuesday evening, M ay 16, Mr. C. B. Cook, of Owosso, ad dressed the F a r m e r s' Club on Hor ticulture as an Adjunct to General F a r m i n g. A m o ng those who have chosen the right vocation, none take so much pleasure in their work as the one practicing some farm speci alty. Michigan is well adapted to the production of grain, dairy pro ducts, and fruit. T he essential of fruit-raising is that the fruit, soil, and man must be adapted the one to the other. Horticulture requires more attention than farming. T he extent to which horticulture should be practiced by the general farmer depends upon the amount of study he is willing to give it, and also upon his energy. T he varieties should be selected with great care and to suit the market's demands. -In this, as in other farm matters, reading especially the Experiment Station Bulletins, is very important. H o r ticulture is something that must be worked into. A small beginning should be made. We should re member that it is the carefully man aged, well tilled, small farm, which stands hard times. T he annual oratorical contest of the Michigan intercollegate prohibi tion association was held at A nn Arbor, M ay 15, 16. T he contest was held in N e w b e r ry hall before a fairly good audience. T he contest was between H. G. Burns of Kazoo ; H. R. Trusler, of U. of M .; H. C. Geran, of Adrian, and O. W. Steph enson of M. A. C. Rank Grade H. G. Burns H. R. Trusler H. C. Geran . . . 10 516 O.

Consider ing that M. A. C. did not have a that next local contest, we think year the farmers will show up even better than they did this year. At the convention the next day the following officers were elected: Halliday, U. of M., President; W h i t e, M. A. C, Vice-President; Robinson, Adrian, Secretary ; Lock- wood, Hillsdale, Treasurer.

C. 6—ALBION 2. the sun was Thursday morning certainly did not bid fair for a base ball day, but toward ten o'clock it began getting lighter and by the time the game was called shining brightly, and the diamond was in splendid condition. T he game was the best seen here this season, not because of the score, but on account of the clean hitting and fielding on the part of both teams. T he pitch ing of Neis and the hitting and base running of M. A. C, were features of the game. M. A. C. scored three runs in the first inning on singles by A r m s t r o n g, Burke and Gunni son, a two-base hit by Wilcox, and a line drive to the fence by Canfield. One third was made by- Burke and one in the fourth by Boyle, who was sacrificed to second by Xeis and scored on a single by Burke. Another run was scored in theN seventh on a two-base hit by M c K e n na followed by singles by Burke and Canfield. the in Albion scored their only two runs the sixth on M. A. C.'s only in error a single by Brail and a pretty two base hit by Bliss. Outside of the second and sixth inning Albion did not find second base but once. f., F or pulled down two hits that seemed safe for second base, one from A r m strong and the other from Canfield.

Wilcox in his first game at third played his position well, and T o w n er made a sensa tional catch in left field after a hard r u n. Burke got four singles out of four times u p, Canfield also doing his usual amount of hitting. Over 800 people witnessed the Saturday Kalamazoo comes here for a practice game. Although Kazoo was easily defeated on their own ground, they have a good team, defeating Olivet in the cup game 5 to 1 on the 15. This will be the last home game in the regular sched ule. T he management has been very fortunate in securing A r m o ur Insti tute for a dual track meet on M ay 27, which ought to prove one of the banner athletic events of the season. A r m o ur has won every meet they have had this spring. T h ey have a sprinter who has done 100 yards in 10 seconds, and 220 in 22 seconds. The}- also have three distance men that have won from everything they run up against this year. T h ey have a large team and a better bal anced one than Notre Dame, and the contest should be more keen than the one with institution. T he management is at a heavy ex pense to b i i ng a team from Chica go, and as this will, without doubt, be one of the very best events of the season, it is hoped that a good crowd may be present to help the team win.

T h is is the fourth cup game and tomorrow will close the cham pion series, so far as M. A. C. is concerned, until J u ne 2 and 3. At Hillsdale it was simply a case of a pitcher again-t a team and the team won. Hillsdale was outclassed in fielding, base running and good hit ting. Boyle caught a star game, Canfield made a splendid catch of a short hit over second and Armstrong played his position well. Wilcox two runs for M. drove in the last A. C. in the eighth with a clean t wo base hit to the grand stand. Up to the eighth the game was a very interesting one, the score standing 2- 3- T he game was witnessed by a large and enthusiastic crowd who with horns and various other in struments ( ?) certainly did very systematic rooting as it was utterly impossible to hear the umpire's de cisions.
