To any one who saw the "first night" of Midsummer Night's Dream there cannot remain any doubt as to its merit and there surely ought not to be any doubt in regard to its financial success. Taking in consideration the time and labor spent, the expense incurred by those who have had the supervision of this play and also how its success ought to interest especially the students, think that even these things would be an incentive to every student to attend this beautiful production of Shakespear's aside from the actual pleasure which every one will experience when they witness it. What can be more charming than the spectacle of sixty little maidens dressed in dazzeling costumes, trained to dance in exact step to spirited music or to march in figures so difficult that nothing but the even line of veterans can compare with their regularity and perfection, or who will not regret an opportunity lost who does not see little Annie Rohe as Puck? The underplot is undoubtedly of itself enough to furnish amusement for an evening and not enough can be said for the efficiency with which this is carried on. It is to be hoped that every one, not only students, but everyone else will make it a point to see this charming play.
The Game at Haskell.
The University and Haskell nines opened the ball season by a practice game, last Saturday. The game was played on the Haskell grounds and resulted very satisfactorily as far as the University nine are concerned.
The first two innings consisted of a succession of whitewashes. Then the red men rallied and hit the ball for a couple of runs. The University boys, determining not to be out done, went them one better. In the following three innings both sides hit the ball quite frequent.y the Indians a little the hardest. In fact they were several runs in the lead.
Then in the sixth inning, Mackey, the only, the star pitcher of Haskell, entered the box mid rounds of applause. This was just what the whole University nine longed for. They desired to test the paralyzer. They did, knocked him clear out of the box in the last inning.
In the seventh and eighth they were unable to assimilate with the ball to any marked degree, but in the ninth, with a score 7 to 12 against them they hit the sphere with a regularity simply delicious. They made five full grown, corpulent runs, in this, their last time at bat, evening the score, and making it 12 to 12.
No. 31.
The lateness of the hour, and threatening look of the sky, prevented our boys from playing off the tie.
This afternoon a game will be played between a picked nine from town and the University nine.
Planting of the Class Trees.
The members of the Law Department assembled on the campus at North College Saturday at 10 a.m. for the purpose of listening to the exercises in connection with the planting of memorial trees by the class of '91. All the members of the class participated in the planting of the trees which was followed by appropriate speeches from Messrs. Finical, McLaughlin, Foster, and Mr. Feller, a last year's student. Mrs. Brown composed and read a very beautiful poem which we should like very much to publish; but which for several reasons she declines to allow to appear. Professor Green was called for and he addressed the students in a very touching manner, at the close of which the students gave him three cheers. It was altogether a very pleasant occasion.
Mr. W. E. Wilson was initiated into Sigma Nu last Monday night.
Lost-An interest in my studies. Address Box 4379, City.
Miss Hutchings' Concert.
The fourth entertainment for the benefit of the pipe organ fund was given under the direction of Miss Josephine Hutchings at Bowersock's opera house on Thursday evening. A crowded house was sufficient encouragement for the well known singers and musicians of this city to do their best and the audience was favored with some rare selections admirably rendered.
Some music ordered from Leavenworth having failed to arrive, a duet by Misses Burr and Wyne was substituted for the first number on the program. The young ladies were deservedly applauded. Mr. Bell next entertained the audience with a cornet solo, De Beriot's Fifth Air. He responded to an encore.
Miss Hutchings sang Beauty's Eyes so charmingly as to win a storm of applause. In response she sang Angel Voices. Prof. Penny rendered a selection from Chopin and was recalled by the delighted audience. Mrs. Marks sang Sunny Smiles with cheerful effect. Murmuring Zephers, executed on the piano by Mrs. Hayne, was one of the most enjoyable numbers on the program. Miss March's vocal solo was encored, but the audience had to be contented with a graceful acknowledgment. Mr. Buch played a violin solo with such pleasing effect as to win his recall.
The next was a duet by Misses Hutchings and March. Mrs. Gleed being ill, Mr. Nolte, of Topeka, occupied her place on the program. His rich baritone voice captured the audience. The concert ended with a quartett by Misses Hutchings and March and Messrs. Howe and Stevens.
the lecture delivered in University hall by Judge Crozier was very interesting and instructive. He described very minutely the manner in which the different closely contested elections of president of the United States were conducted, and also the means resorted to by each party in the attempt to elect its candidate. It was the first first time the people of Lawrence were allowed the pleasure of listening to the judge and it is to be hoped they will have the pleasure of hearing him again in the near future.
The meeting of the Triangular league delegates from the several colleges was held Monday, and it is hoped that things can be arranged so that we may have some league games this spring. The constitution which was promulgated by K. S. U. has been approved by Baker and K. S. U. and it only remains for Washburn to ratify it.
Professor Williston delivers lecture at Kanwaka this evening.
