The Battle of Mount Oread.
Out we went into the night,
By the new moon's waning light,
Up Mount Oread we sped.
By all eager purpose led.
And we raised our flag before
Any Soph, Senior
Thought of quitting Morpheus' arms.
Yet at last they came around
And it seemed the way they found
Matters, did not please them well,
So they raised a mityty yell,
For our flag was floating high,
Streaming in the azure sky
Grand and gladsome to behold;
And the Freshmen brave and bold
With the juniors stood around.
Then the sophs and seniors came,
Far to numerous to name
On they rushed with might and main.
But their toil was all in vain,
Oh! the heroes there that fell.
Who of bards could sing or tell?
Like our Troja's bloody plain,
Where the ground lay full of flail,
Thus we fought around the flag,
Nor did our courage lag.
Though our dinner time was past;
But we took it down at last,
Bore it off triumphantly
To a lady fair to see.
"Lady fair!" we said, "Behold!
We the freshmen brave and bold,
We the junians strong and daring,
We have come devoutly bearing
What in many a furious fray
We have guarded all the day.
Proudly in the breeze it floated
While the sunshine o'er it gloated;
Now we pray you, lady fair!
Take this banner in your care.
Let it be a souvenir
To you, of these heroes here,
Of their deeds of daring done,
Of the boundless glory won."
As the sun beams on some isle,
Thus the lady smiled a smile,
Thanked us even with words benign,
Yes, in accents quite divine;
Said, that the gallant junions be
The very flower of chivalry,
Said, that the Freshman brave and bol
Far surpass the knights of old,
And that bards in future time
Would sing their praises in sweet rhymm.

MUSIC HALL.
versity.
Successful Dedication of the Latest Acquisition to the Uni-
'A wise move' is what everyone says of Professor Penny's removal of the School of Music and Art to the town. Chancellor Snow in his opening remarks at the dedication concert by De Kontsk1 last Thursday evening, said that the possession of the Hall was due to the generosity of Mr. J. B. Watkins and the tireless energy of the dean of the school. The large audience present, consisting of the elite of the town and University, was a fine testimony of appreciation.
A new stage had been erected which, with the grand pianos, the floral decorations and pictures, made a complete transformation of the old church. De Kontski read a few reminisces concerning the great Beethoven, his pronunciation, however, making it very difficult to understand. But his pianoforte playing was thoroughly understood, and aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The fire and animation of the old Chevalier was a surprise to everybody and his playing was pronounced by all to have been the best ever heard in Lawrence.
Professor Penny informs us that De Kontski dedicated the hall to
music in general, while the concert last evening was a dedication to the cause of American music.
Julius Cæsar.
No worthier representative pianist could be found than Mr. Wm. H. Sherwood of Chicago, who has done so much for music in America. His playing was grand, and lack of space prevents our mentioning it in detail.
The seniors are working hard on the burlesque of Julius Caesar and are holding rehearsals twice a week. The different parts have been assigned with peculiar fitness, and, as the class is very fortunate in possessing remarkable histrionic talent, an excellent presentation of the play is assured.
J. Hubert Sawtell will take the part of Cassius, with "a lean and hungry look," Mr. Sawtell has that peculiar curl of the lip which was so characteristic of Lawrence Barrett, in "doing Cassius."
Mr. W. Trutt takes the part of of Caesar. He is peculiarly fitted by nature for this part, as he is a "noble Roman" in look and stature
The balcony scene between Mr. Truitt and R. Diamedia Brown, in the role of Calphurnia, is said to be very touching indeed. Mr. Brown is cultivating a faisset voice and a "sweet-girl graduate" smile, in order to "do" this part in a pleasing manner.
Mr. H.Barnes, who shifted scenes in the Abilene opera house, will take the part of Anthony. As Anthony was a sporting man and a fine orator, Mr. Barnes will undoubtedly more than satisfy the audience.
Mr. H. Spencer Hadley has been in training for the characterization of Brutus for sometime, and is "chewing scenery" daily. It will be remembered the great hit Mr.H. made in the "Prince and Pauper," where his Apollo-like form and Roman cast of countenance were so prominently noticed. He shows off to especial advantage in the love scene with his wife Portia, who is imper- onated by Mr. Eugenia Caldwell.
Mr. Caldwell is a young actor of great promise, and as he has always done remarkably well in female parts, his presentation of Portia will be up to the standard.
W, W. Brown, who is "every inch a Roman," takes the part of Octavius and helps Anthony kill Brutus and Cassius.
Mr. Potter as Casca, Mr. Engle as Trebonius, Mr. Copper as Decius, Mr Ridgeway as Mettelius, Mr. Simmons as Lucius, and Mr. Noble as the Soothsayer, make up the remainder of the cast.
The play will be interspersed with sparkling specialties and good acting on the side. To create enthusiasm in the audience the juniors will be presented with the boxes.
There was no damage done by the storm last night at Baldwin and the rain was not very heavy.
