RECEPTIONS AND SOCIAL EVENTS of the WEEK.
Kappa Alpha Theta.
I. C. Party.
Last Tuesday evening, June 1, the Kappa Alpha Thetas gave their annual reception at the residence of J. A. Dailey on Ohio street. The large house and beautiful grounds surrounding it were brilliantly illuminated and presented a very attractive and festive appearance. The guests began to arrive at an early hour, and in a short time the spacious parlors were filled. There were present the members of Kappa chapter in the University, many of Kappa's alumnae and resident members, and a number of young ladies from neighboring towns and cities, who are Thetas in spirit if not in letter. Gentlemen were present from the University, from the city, and many from a distance. Members of the faculty, and a number of Lawrence people were also present, and in all not less than 125 partook of the Thetas' hospitality. At 11 o'clock, Grosscup and his assistants served elegant refreshments to the large company. After this sumptuous repast, the canvassed floors, and inspiring strains of music from the First Regiment band, furnished opportunity to all who were devotees to Terpsichore's art. Dancing was continued until a late hour, when the company departed, the brilliant scene succumbed to night's darkness, and nothing was left of it save delightful memories in the minds of those who had participated in the pleasures and mingled in the festivities of the evening. The Thetas are to be congratulated upon the success of this reception which has become with them an annual occurrence. It resembles more than any social custom now existing in the University, the annual celebrations and entertainments which are characteristic of eastern fraternities. Following as it does immediately upon examinations, it is a fitting close to the year's work, and a proper opening of the festivities of commencement week.
Saturday night the I.C.'s gave an informal reception at the home of Miss Lida Griffith south of the city Six 'bus loads of jolly students left town at eight o'clock bent on having a good time in spite of mud and heavy weather. There were present the young ladies of the chapter and their resident members together with gentlemen from most of the various fraternities. The evening was most pleasantly passed, and the famous I.C. "grub" was the chief feature. Every-one had a good time, for the I.C. "grubs" and "cookey-shines" cannot be surpassed for real fun and genuine enjoyment. It was not until a late hour that the merry party returned to the city, and when the time arrived for departing it was

found that the merriment and good things to eat had so increased the aggregate size of the company that an extra conveyance was necessary.
Phi Gamma Delta Reception.
Among the first and foremost on the list of society events during commencement week is always placed the Phi Gamma Delta annual June reception. This year was no exception, and the beautiful home of Hon. S. A. Riggs was the scene last Friday evening of a gathering which has never been surpassed in the annals of K. S. U. The evening was delightfully pleasant, after the rain of the day, and the lawn was brightly illuminated with Chinese lanterns. The Mandolin club furnished their exquisite dancing music, and the large spacious platform was occupied with merry dancers. The parlors, too, afforded stores of entertainment for the guests, and the perfection of the arrangements could not have been surpassed.
It was a fitting finale for the prosperous year which Pi Deuteron chapter has just witnessed. Honors had been gained and victories won, and now the young guests united in celebrating their last great social event of the college year. As entertainers the Phi Gamm boys have always stood among the first, and Friday evening was another of the triumphs which mark their career. Elegant refreshments were served and the hours sped by most enjoyably for all present. Pleasure reigned supreme, every guest felt that the evening would always remain one of the most pleasant of memories, as it had been delightful in realization.
Sigma Nu Party.
Last Friday Mrs. Flora Bennett tendered the Sigma Nu fraternity a reception in honor of its graduating members, Messrs. G.W. Harrington, A.C. Markley and James Harris.
After supper all returned to the ball room, and dancing was resumed until a late hour, when all departed voting Mrs. Bennett an admirable entertainer, and having spent a very enjoyable evening.
Athletic Notes.
The time was also the occasion of the third anniversary of the foundation of the chapter.
UNIVERSITY VS. SHAWNEES.
Over twenty couples were present among whom were several of the professors with their ladies, also many other friends of the fraternity. The early part of the evening was spent in dancing and social conversation. When the call for supper came all adjourned to the dining hall and enjoyed the sumptuous repast, prepared by Mr. Harris. Toasts were proposed and responded to as follows: "Our Fraternity," Mr. P. R. Bennett, of Chicago; "The Ladies," F. A. Marshall; "Our Absent Members," A. C. Markley; "The University," Prof. Carruth; "Our Hostess," G. W. Harrington.
This game, which resulted in a victory for our Club was in many respects the best of the year. It was certainly the best that our own nine has played. The Shawnees played well; Haydn, their pitcher, did good work, striking out six batters in seven innings, but he was poorly supported. The feature of the game was the work of F. C. Campbell, K. S. U. catcher, behind the bat and the double work of Campbell and Hogeboom second baseman. Very few base runners were able to steal from first to second for Campbell threw with great precision and accuracy to the base and Hogeboom was sure to get the ball on the winner instantly. Howard Campbell did good work in left field and had the best record in batting and base running. Barlow made a neat steal from second to third. Nine innings were played and the score stood 10 to 6 in our favor. Shugrue struck out seven batters, Hayden six.
PHI PSIS VS. PHI DELTS.
This game aroused considerable interest and drew a large crowd, for it was understood that the nine which won would take the pennant. And since the clubs were believed to be of about equal strength a close game was expected, in this respect no one was disappointed. The game was the best of the fraternity series. It was almost wholly a battery contest. Taylor, pitcher for the Phi Psi, struck out eleven batters and made in all sixteen assists. Kellogg, Phi Delt pitcher, struck out five batters and made a number of assists. Davis and Campbell, catchers, both did good work. Seven innings were played and the score stood 8 to 7 in favor of the Phi Psi. The Phi Delts made all their runs in two innings, the Phi Psi made runs in five innings. Excitement ran high at the beginning of the seventh inning when the score stood 8 to 7, for one run for the Phi Delts would have made a tie, but the seventh was played without a change for either club.
due to his efforts that the present fraternity league was organized. Solon T. Gilmore has, as secretary of the club, been an untiring and zealous worker.
At a students' meeting held last week, F. C. Campbell, the big great catcher, was elected captain of the K. S. U. nine for the ensuing year. Prof. W. H. Carruth, who is enthusiastic in base ball, was chosen business manager. These two will proceed immediately upon the opening of the fall term to organize a club that will sweep all amateur nines in the State. The selections are good ones and we have no doubt but that K. S. U. will hold the college championship next year. The thanks of the students are due to Mr. J. D. Davis, the retiring captain, for time and labor which he has spent in trying to make athletics a prominent feature in K. S. U. He has always been an enthusiastic worker and it is largely
The Betas failed to play their last game with the Sigma Chis. This counts as a game lost. The Sigs have lost three games and won two, the Betas were beaten in all the five games.
Field Day.
A good crowd witnessed the contest in athletics last Monday. Those who attended felt well repaid and all unite in pronouncing the day a success. The committee, although little time was given them, did their work well and to them is due much credit. It will be seen that R. P. Brown won a large number of the prizes.
