sented the animal to Professor Dyche, is anxious that it should remain here. The Dyche exhibit besides being given an award and receiving special mention by the commissioner of awards, was pronounced by the awarding committee to be the best on the grounds, and Professor Dyche was given a gold medal. Dyche's big moose was the model for the sculptured moose on the Lagoon, and Professor Dyche was a pupil and intimate friend of Proctor the sculpture. The exhibit is now rapidly being placed in position in Snow Hall, and soon that place will be the most interesting place in the University to visitors.
Glee Club Tour.
Friday, December 15, the University Glee and Banjo Club will start out on their third annual tour, giving their first concert in Leavenworth that night. Saturday evening, December 16, they will appear at Atchison, and after spending Sunday in that city will go to St. Joe, Missouri, where they will give a concert Monday evening, December 18. From St. Joe they will go to Hiawatha where they will give their grand concert Tuesday evening, December 19. On the 20 they will be in Marysville, on the 21 in Frankport, on the 22 in Washington, and on the 23 they will sing and play in Concordia. After spending Sunday in the latter city, they will appear in Beloit on the 25, in Minneapolis the 26, in Salina the 27, in Junction City the 29, and in Topeka the 30. After spending Sunday in Topeka, they will give their last concert in Manhattan New Year's night and then they will return to Lawrence, where, after resting a few days, they will present their excellent program in the opera house Friday evening, January 12. The Clubs this year will carry four more men than they did last, and will make every effort to increase the excellent reputation made by the Clubs on their tour last winter. The tour taken will be much shorter than the one taken last year. Last winter the Clubs traveled two thousand miles, gave twenty eight concerts, and went as far west as Denver, while this year a tour of only 750 miles has been mapped out with fifteen
concerts, and with the exception of two concerts in Missouri will be confined within the state. The Clubs will be judiciously advertised and in addition to the posters, and photographs, circulars containing press notices and a cut of both Clubs will be scattered over every town. The members of the Glee Club who will go on the tour are, first tenors, Hopkins, Jantzen, Holden, and Atterbury; second tenors, Higgins, Cramer, and Lawrence Sears; first basses, Franklin, Merryfield, and Clarence Sears; second basses, Green, Lupfer, and House. The Banjo Club will consist of the following men; Mandolins, Caldwell, Akers, and Williams; Banjos, Prentiss, and Nicholson; Guitars, Brewster, Clark, Mason, and Alden.
The Clubs start out without any backing from any outside source and without any certainty of financial success. On account of the stringency in the money market the concerts may not be so largely attended as they otherwise would, but the boys expect the students and citizens to give them a crowded house when they give their concert here January 12, and are counting on that concert to pay off any debts which they may incur on their trip. Professor Farrell will accompany the Clubs as leader of the Banjo Club and violin soloist, and Professor Penny will go as musical director of the Glee Club.
