The Mascotte Phi was overthrown last week, the Signua Chis beat the Phi Gams.
Athletic Notes.
Howard Duncan has unpired two games for us and given good satisfaction.
The Betas and Sigma Nus play this afternoon. No mistake about it this time. Come out and see them struggle, neither club has won a game, as yet, and both will accordingly play hard.
On Wednesday night of Commencement week,Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Phi Kappa Psi will give entertainments in their respective halls. The Kappa Alpha Thetas will entertain about June 1st and the Phi Gamma Deltas will give a large party sometime during Commencement week.
Boom Field day, it is time. Call a meeting, appoint committees and set them to work. Let the fraternities offer prizes.
The Phi Psi. vs. Phi Delt game which has been so often postponed, will probably be played next week, or as soon as the Phi Delts wounded men recover.
The benefit game played last week was a good one and ought to have drawn a better crowd. It was the first game that our nine has won, and though not exciting was well played, and towards the last quite closely contested. Some changes were made in the position of our players to evident advantage. The bases were all different, Esterly on first, Hoge-boom on second,and Harvey on third, all did good work. O. H. Campbell did remarkably well as left fielder.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 13. 1887.
The students were very much surprised to notice several new badges flying around the halls Thursday. Upon inquiry it was found that the "Knights of the Nunnery" had been instituted. The new fraternity includes some very promising young men and we wish their chapter unlimited success.
SIGMA CHIS VS. PHI GAMS.
---
In heavy batting and magnitude of runs this game has not yet been surpassed. The first inning showed clearly that the score would be large and the game close. The Phi Gams having lost Miles, Delo and Ackley, were obliged to fill out their nine with men, who, to say the least, are not expert base ballists. The Sigma Chis played together better than ever before and showed improvement from practice. Jackson, pitcher for the Phi Gams had pitched a hard game the day before, in consequence his arm was lame and the Sigs pounded him freely. The game resulted in a score of 27 to 23 in favor of the Sigma Chis. This is the first game that they have won.
The Fraternities.
The Sigma Chis will entertain this evening at the residence of Hon. J. D. Bowersock on Tennessee street.
The I. C.'s will have a picnic tomorrow at Holliday, near Kansas City. They will be joined by Misses Nellie Dow and Nettie Hubbard, of Olathe, and Emma White, who is visiting with Miss Dow.
The Phi Psis gave an informal party at their halls Friday evening. The halls have been rebuilt in better style than before and are provided with hard wood floors, very excellent for dancing, which was the chief feature of the evening. Those present were: Misses Thompson, Crotty, Page, Penfield, McCague, Agnes Love, Clendinen, Sutliff, Lizzie Wilder, Chapman, Dailey; Me>rs, Jenks, Caldwell, Brown, Taylor, Campbell, Swope, Dunn, Fearle, Brewster, Nickel, Gilmore, Spencer, Will Snow and Hutchings.
Baker University has, we have recently learned, a base ball nine. This gives us another enemy to meet or be their meat, as the case may be. We suggest that Secretary Gilmore write to Baldwin at once and make arrangements for a game. Perhaps we can beat them and get our nine enticed to play Washburn again. However, Washburn must not yet claim the college championship of the State.
Last Friday evening the Betas very pleasantly entertained their lady friends in their newly furnished rooms in the opera house block. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Mandolin Club. At 11 o'clock elegant refreshments were served. Toasts were responded to by H. S. Tremper, O. D. Walker and H. F. Bear, and the hall was formally dedicated to Beta Theta Pi by J. B.Lippincott. Those present were: Misses Eva Miles, Kate Wilder, May Walker, Bella Love, Bessie Root, Daisy Cockins, Emma Bartell, Ella Bartell, Louella Moore, Etta Hadley, Mamie Stimpson, Annie McKinnon, Mamie Henshaw, Helen Simpson; Messrs J. G. Stean, of Kansas City, O. D. Walker, R. W. Houk, J. B. Lippincott, C. M. Watson, B. T. Riley, F. Morris, Fred Pickering, T. F. Doran, H. F. Bear, C. W. Webster, E. F. Stimpson, W. T. Caywood, Harry Buckingham, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Tremper.
One of the most enjoyable social events of the entire season proved to be the reception given by the young ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma to the gentlemen of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, last Saturday at the residence of Miss Laura O'Bryon, near Sibley. The merry party left Lawrence early in the afternoon, with an ample supply of all those delicacies which go to make up an elegant supper, and after a short and enjoyable ride, the beautiful grove was reached which was to be the scene of the festivities. Hammocks were hung, tennis courts laid out and other games arranged, all combining to make the afternoon as pleasant as possible. About 6:30 the party sat down to a sumptuous supper which none but Kappa Kappa Gammas know how to prepare. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and social conversation. At a late hour the party returned to Lawrence enlivening the way with songs and merry laughter. The reception was in every way an enjoyable one to all present and the Kappas are to be congratulated on their success.
Last week was one of unusual gaiety in fraternity circles. The Betas opened their new hall with a large party. The Phi Psis gave a party and dance, and the Phi Delts were entertained at the home of Miss Laura O'Bryon, by the Kappa Kappa Gammas.

The Science Club TO-DAY'S MEETING.
The Science Club will, by invitation, hold its meeting to-day at the home of Mr. Joseph Savage, south of the city. Mr. Savage is one of the most prominent geologists in the State, is thoroughly interested in all scientific work and a warm friend and supporter of the University. He has a very valuable and choice geological collection which will be of great interest to the boys. Mr. Savage and his wife are hospitable, generous people and will the visit of the Science Club full of pleasure and profit.
PICN1C.
On Saturday last the Science Club spent the day up the river near Cameron's bluff. The party rowed up the river in boats and returned about 6 in the evening. The day was very favorable, being one that made the exercise of the oarsmen delightful and the field and wood attractive. After dinner (a feast rather) a number of the party took a botanical stroll, bringing in several rare trophies and numerous well known specimens of the Douglas county flowers, while others spent the time in analyzing plants collected as they were brought in, others again made musical instruments out of the willow, several choruses were sung with band accompaniments. The latter part of the afternoon was spent in athletic exercises, which with the rowing down the river in the evening, one would have supposed would exhaust the party, but on the contrary all seemed fresh and improved after their return. It was the general feeling upon returning that this occasion was one of the most delightful picnics ever given by the club, and the only regret was that there were not more to enjoy it with them.

The Seniors are "cramming" for examination.
Law.
The Juniors are organizing a concert chorus with Wolly as leader.
The members of the law faculty are not to blame for the failure of Class Day. Prof. Green has done all in his power to pour contentment on the troubled Seniors, but his efforts have been as fruitless as were those of Mother Partington.
It seems to be a settled fact that the laws will have no Class Day. The faculty first deprived them of their representative on Commencement day, and gave them Friday morning for the class exercises, and Friday night for the oration. The Seniors were dissatisfied with this and filed a plea in arrest of judgment and appealed their case. The faculty held another meeting and granted them the representative but withheld Friday night. This verdict was still unsatisfactory and looked upon by the limbs of the law as a kind of ex-parte proceeding. Finally finding that they were stopped from gaining anything further from the faculty, some wanted to accept what they had and go on with their program. Others said "we'll have all on none." They then had some little internecine troubles and heaped their forensic wrath upon each other until they have become a set of chronic kickers. They have kicked at the faculty and kicked at each other, and unless they reform they will kick at the judge and the jury, kick at the court and kick when a corpse, and when they die if they should be made angels, they will demur and file a motion to be made gods. The whole proceeding seems rather uncomplimentary to all concerned and would seem to be governed by the statute of frauds.

The German Club held its regular meeting last Friday, despite warm weather, ball games, impending "frat" parties and all the other ills that school societies are heir too. Besides the readings of Mr. Squires and Miss Crotty, there was represented the first scene of the first act of the German play "Die Luegnerin," by Miss Mauley and Mr. Nickel-One of the chief attractions is the music, which is so good as to repay even those who do not understand German, the trouble of climbing the hill. Last week Prof. Carruth sang in his ever acceptable manner, and the instrumental music was furnished by Mr. Hair and Miss Wynne. The week before Profs. Aldrich and Carruth contributed the vocal music and Miss Atwood a piano solo.
Washburn students express themselves as well pleased with the treatment which they received when their club played here. Captain Brewster said that the crowd was the least partial of any he had ever played before.
