T he  Military  Hop* 

T he 

to  say 

first  military  hop  of 

the 
season  was  given  in  the armory  last 
Friday  evening.  This  was  the  first 
social  event  in  the  newly  decorated 
drill  r o o m;  and 
the 
change  from  dull  b r o wn  and  brick 
red  to  brighter  and  more  cheerful 
colors  was  agreeable,  would  be  put 
the  changed 
ting  it  mildly.  W i th 
interior,  a  few  simple  decorations 
with  flags,  bunting  and  potted  plants 
made  the  armory  a  lovely  place. 

that 

T he  party  was  a  success  in  every 
way.  Nearly  sixty  couples,  includ 
the 
ing  a  number  of  guests  from 
from 
city,  were  in  attendance  ;  and 
eight  to  eleven-thirty  o'clock 
they 
kept the  floor  well  filled.  T h e re  were 
regular  numbers  and  seven 
fifteen 
extras,  for  which  Bristol's  orchestra 
furnished  music. 

Military  hops  at  M.  A.  C.  were 
originated  by  Lieutenant  Bandholtz 
and  under  his  management  have 
been  very  successful.  T he 
com 
mandant  is  assisted  by  a  committee 
of  arrangements  which  is  composed 
of 
the  battalion.

Football. 

Last  Saturday  was  the  day 

that

Ypsilanti  was 
M.  A.  C.  Thursday  of 
last  week 
Manager  Merkel  received  a  car-d 
from  the  Ypsilanti  manager  which 
read  as  follows: 

YPSI.,  702  Pearl. 

Mgr: 

We  have  one  man  on  our  team  who  lives 
here  in  Ypsi., but  is  not  in  school  now.  Will 
it be  all  right  to  play  him ?  The  faculty  re 
quires  us  to notify  all teams.  Knowing  that 
it will  be  O.  K.,  I  am, 

Yours  resp't., 

A.  B.  GLASPIE. 

Mr. Merkel  immediately  answered 
and  stated  that  we  object  to  playing 
with  a  team  composed  of  anything 
but  college  men.  " T ry  and  have  all 
college  men  on  your 
team."  He 
also  wrote  Principal  Boone  request

wired  him  to  cancel  the  game.

T he  attitude of  the  Ypsilanti  team 
is  the  most  flagrant  violation  of  all

last  spring  about  athleties  who  were 
playing  on  baseball  teams  and  w ho 
did  not  come  under  the  rules  of  the 
association;  but  these  men  were  at 
least  students  at  the  colleges  they 
represented.  N ow  what  shall  we

A nd  there  is  reason  to  believe 
they  would  have  put  this  man  in

their  faculty  had  not  required  them

Sanford  kicked  off  to  the  20  yard

minutes  from  the  time  it  was  kicked

and J a p an  must  be  considered  in  the

accordingly,  rather  obscure,  though 
no  doubt  an  amicable  understanding 
will  shortly  be  arrived  at. 

T he  entrance 

to  the  harbor  is 
much  more  difficult  than  at  Fiji,  the 
channel  being  extremely  narrow  and 
very  tortuous.  At  low  tide  a  large 
extent  of  mud  bank  is visible,  dotted

Muskegon's  Manual  Training 
School, 

T he  city  of  Muskegon,  this  State, 
dedicated  a  few  days  ago  a very  fine 
manual  training  school building,  the 
gift  of  one  of  its  honored  citizens, 
M r.  Hackley. 

It is refreshing  to know  that  while 
school  men  and  school boards  are  so 
slow  to  understand  and  appreciate 
this  form  of  education,  there  are 
among  us  a  few  public  spirited  men 
who  are  able  to  see  and  feel 
the 
needs  of  industrial  education. 
T he  city  of  Muskegon, 

the  re 
cipient  of  such  a  noble  gift,  is  to  be 
congratulated,  but  most  of  all  the

should  certainly  bear  some  relation 
to  the  occupations  they  will  follow

Chillingham  Park  and  its  Wild 
White  Cattle. 

H E R B E RT  W.  M U M F O R D. 

To  most  of  us  there  is  a  certain 
fascination  for  everything  antique. 
An  old  book,  a  piece  of  china,  or 
furniture  which  has  been  carefully 
preserved  and  handed  down 
from 
one  generation  to  another,  is  consid 
ered  a  valuable  acquisition  and  the 
the  history  of  such 
recounting  of 
relics  is  not  infrequently 
listened  to 
respectfully  if  not  with  enthusiasm 
and 
interest  by  those  not  directly 
concerned. 

It  is  with 

this  thought  in  mind 
that  we  undertake  to  give  a  brief 
account  of  Chillingham  P a rk  and 
the  Wild  White  Cattle  to  be  found 
within  its  borders. 

Chillingham  Parish  in  which  are 
situated  Chillingham  P a rk 
and 
Castle  is  in  Glendale  W a r d,  North 
umberland,  England.  T he  pictur 
this  and 
esque  glens  with  which 
neighboring  parishes  abound  are 
well  known. 

One  can  easily  believe  what  we 
are  everywhere  told,  that  this  is  one 
of  the  wildest  and  most  beautiful 
parts  of  the  county  of  Northumber 
land. 

We  are  slow  to  appreciate,  how 
ever,  as  we  leave  the  railway  station 
at  Ilderton  and  gradually  ascend  to 
the  highest  point 
in  Chillingham 
Park,  1,036-feet  above  the  sea  level, 

that  we  are  really  in  a  large  valley 
nearly  surrounded  by  the  Cheviot 
Hills.  We  cross  here  and 
there 
little  brooks  which  add  much  to  the 
attractiveness  of  the  place. 

While  you  could  scarcely  say  that 
Chillingham  P a rk  is densely  wooded, 
yet  some  parts  of  it are  well  covered, 
to 
just  enough  perhaps  not  only 
the 
to 
furnish  a  pleasing  variety 
landscape,  but  also  to  furnish 
just 
those  conditions  which  we  would 
expect  would  favor  the  protection 
and  succour  of  the  wild  cattle  which 
its  w a l l s; 
are 
namely—near  by  forest 
into  which 
the  cattle  can  retreat  when  alarmed 
and  an  abundance  of  rich  pasturage 
with  a  great  variety  of  grasses 
growing  on  the  open.  T he  rolling 
contour  of  the  country  is  too  an  ad 
vantage  to  the  peace  of  the  restless 
beasts,  for  over  the  brow  of  a  hill 
they  feel  secure. 

confined  within 

As  you  enter  the  lodge  gate  open 
ing  into  the  drive  that  leads  up  to 
the  castle,  nothing 
is  in  sight  save 
t he  well  kept  street  and  lawn  bord 
ered  on  either  side  by  massive  trees 
which  give  you  almost  the  sensation 
of 
few 
minutes'  walk  brings  you  in  sight 
of  the  old  castle  which  is  pleasantly 
situated  on  a  slight  elevation. 

lonesomeness.  A 

forest 

Your  feeling  of  lonesomeness  is 
not  at  all  banished  by  the  sight  of 
what  seems  to  an  American  (accus 
tomed  to  seeing  modern  dwellings 
which  are  frequently  brightened  up 
by  a  fresh  coat  of  paint),  a  faded 
stone  castle  with  everything  about  it 
as  still  as  death.  One  cannot,  how 
ever,  help  but  respect 
its  antiquity, 
and 
to  those  who  are  not  attracted 
by  the  whirl  of  a  great  city,  there  is 
a  seclusion,  a  quiet  restfulness  about 
it  that  makes  the  contemplation  of 
life  in  such  a  place  pleasant. 
Our  hearts  may  be  still 
farther 
those 
warmed  to  know  that  within 
walls  dwells  a  lady  who  will  some 
day  be  Lady  Tankerville,  and 
in 
whose  veins  runs  American  blood. 
English  noblemen  appear  to  appre 
ciate  the  womeniiness  and  wealth  of 
our  American  girls  fully  as  much  as

the  consideration  of 

We  will  scarcely  have  space  to 
the 
take  up 
origin  of  these  cattle. 
It  will  be  as 
well  to  accept  the  general belief  that 
the  herd  as  it now  exists is  descended 
from  cattle  which  were  at  a  very 
remote  date  a  part  of  the  great  herd 
that  roamed  at  will 
the 
wooded  portions  of  Great  Britian  ; 
that  many  generations  back 
these 
Chillingham  estates  came  into  pos 
session  of  noblemen  who  found  it 
desirable 
their  estates. 
Naturally,  all  wild  beasts  in  the  for 
est  at  the  time  were  thus  confined. 
T h is  accounts  for  the  presence  of 
the  wild  nature  of  the  cattle  and 
their  presence  in  the  park. 

to  enclose 

through 

It  is  thought  by  some  authorities 
that  Chillingham  P a rk  was  enclosed 
as  early  as  1220  A.  D. 

It  is interesting  to  know  that  other 
parks  were  fenced  or  walled  in  a 
similar  manner  and  other  herds  of 
wild  cattle  are  to  be  found. 
F o r m 
erly  these  wild  herds  were  numer 
ous,  but  at  present  only  two  others 
are  to  be  located  ;  one  in  Hamilton 
P a r k,  near  Glasgow,  Scotland,  and 
one  at  Chartley  P a rk  in  England. 
Still  another  herd  claimed  to  be  of 
pure  descent  is  to  be  found  at  Vay-
nal  P a r k,  N o r th  Wales. 

T he  cattle  in  these  different  parks 
bear  a  close  resemblance 
to  each 
other,  differing  only  in  minor  mark 

ings,  which  have 
fixed 
characteristics  of  the  different  herds

western  method  of  assessing  per 
sonal  property 
that  is  quite  amus 
ing. 

T he  owner  of  a  billy  goat,  when 
he  appeared  to pay his taxes,  found 
that  he  had  been  assessed 
eight 
dollars  for the animal.  He protested 
most  vigorously,  saying,  " H e re  you 
assess  me  eight  dollars  for a  goat 
that  I  only  paid  five  for.  It's  an 
imposition  ;  I  won't  pay  it."  T he

time  he appeared  before  the  council 
and  made  his  complaint—that  it was 
not  only  unjust  but illegal  to  assess 
property  for  more 
than  its  cash 
value.  T he  assessor  defended  him 
self  by  saying,  "I  am  aware  that  it

Nothing  in  nature  is  more  grace
