The Oratorical Contest.
No larger or more enthusiastic audience of students and friends of the University ever assembled in University hall than that which gathered last Tuesday evening to witness the local oratorical contest. Five of our most eloquent speakers were contestants for the honor of being the representative of K. S. U., and let it be said to the credit of all that each handled his subject so ably and forcibly as to make the result of the contest exceedingly doubtful in the minds of the audience.
After the invocation by Rev. R.A. George, a piano solo was rendered with pleasing effect by Mr. Manning.
The first orator of the evening, Mr. C. E. Street, had for his subject the "Cynic in American Politics." He held the view, that in spite of the forces operating to corrupt our national politics, the mass of the people is true to the standard of honesty and justice, and that right will triumph in the end. Mr. Street seemed to be quite ac home on the platform and created a good impression.
Prof. Snow, who presided with dignity over the exercises, introduced as the next speaker, Mr. A. D. Kennedy, who had for his subject "immigration." This subject, though somewhat old, was handled in quite an interesting manner.
Miss Georgia Brown then favored the audience with a vocal solo, in her usual charming manner.
Mr. F. E. Reed then spoke on the subject "Limited Immigration. This oration which showed careful study was delivered with force and earnestness and created considerable enthusiasm. Mr. Reed is an eloquent and experienced speaker and last Tuesday evening clearly demonstrated his ability to hold the attention and gain the sympathy of his audience.
Mr. J. A. Mushrush then took the platform and discussed the "Race Problem." He treated his topic in an able and intensely interesting manner; many new phases of the question being brought forward, and the audience was greatly impressed by the forcible and convincing style in which they were presented. His ease and dignity were particularly noticeable while the force and eloquence of his delivery gave rise to a strong sentiment among the audience that his should not have been lower than second place.
The University Mandolin Club consisting of Messrs. Swope, Grubb Collins, Fred and Jus Bowersock rendered a beautiful selection which was heartily enced.
The last orator of the evening, Mr. G. M. Culver then spoke on "Growth." He treated his subject ably and comprehensively; and the deep thought and study which he had expended on his oration was plainly manifested.
A piano solo was then given by Miss Nellie Franklin, after which, while the audience was waiting in eager expectation for the decision of the judges, they listened to a number of c assalss selections by the popular Mandolin Club.
The judges, Messrs. J. Q. A. Norton, S. O. Thacher and Col. O. E. Learnard, announced by the president of the evening, Prof. F. H. Snow, that the first and second places were awarded to Messrs. F. E. Reed and C. M. Culver respectively. The decision, though a surprise to the audience, was doubtless a just one. The audience then dispersed, each one ready to support the chosen representative of K. S. U. in the State Contest at Emporia.
Notice has been posted on the bulletin board for a students' meeting this evening between 7 and 8. The purpose of the meeting is to sing college songs, regular old fashioned, breakdown songs, such as other college students enjoy so much. It remains entirely with the students, however, to make the undertaking a success. All that is required is that plenty of students shall come with a little enthusiasm in the matter. The title of the book to be used is "College Songs." They will be found in the hall. Each costs 50c. If the students will bring the money with

Bowersock Opera House.
"THE BUCKEYE."
"The Buckeye" is the title of the new play in which charming Lizzie Evans will delight her audience at Bowersock Opera House Tuesday night. This play comes highly recommended as being the very best in Miss Evar's repertoire, and at present it is being played at Pope's theatre, St. Louis, to crowded houses. "The Buckeye" is named after an old country tavern in the State of Ohio, where most of the scenes in the comedy occur. It is a quaint picture of Ohio life, in 4 acts, and was originally the property of Denman Thompson, from whom it was purchased by Miss Evans. The play is bright and sparkling in its language, and thoroughly natural withal, and the climaxes that close the acts are said to be remarkably effective. Miss Evans has the support of an unusually strong company this season, prominent among whom are Wm. N. Griffith, Harry Wilson, Donald Harold, Percy Plunket, Miss Mae Wentworth, Miss Ida Rohinson and others. During the performance Miss Evans will introduce several new songs, dances, medleys, etc., which are quite a feature.
