LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 22, 1887.
Athletic Notes
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS.
The Phi Delts and Sigma Chis practiced together during vacation.
E. G. Blair, manager of the Phi Gamma Delta Club, treated the boys to ice cream after their victory over the Betas.
The Phi Psis are the only club that has appeared in the diamond fully uniformed. They have new suits which are quite handsome, grey breeches and shirts and wine colored stockings.
Swipe and Postlethwaite challenge any student team, two in number, to a rowing race upon the Kaw. Size of boats, distance, etc., to be arranged after the challenge is accepted. This is a standing offer.
The Betas think that their club is playing against hard luck and dire calamities. Tomlin, who used to catch for them, contrary to expectation, did not return. W. T. Reed, their pitcher, left school before their first game, Doran, second base, was unable to play in the second game, Fred Morris, catcher, was injured at the very crisis of the last game, and now Frank Reed, left fieldder, has quit school. Truly these are hard lines.
The Phi Delta Theta gave a party in their hall last Friday evening. Their colors were draped about the room with pleasing effect. Cards and dancing were the order of the evening. Refreshments were served at 12 o'clock. Those present were: Misses Bistline, Helen Sutliff, Taggart, Henshaw, Lizzie Wilder, Kate Wilder, Emma Bartell, Chapman, O'Bryon, Hadley, Price, McCague, Thrasher; Messrs. Finney, White, Wheeler, Schall, E. C. and W. S. Franklin, V. L. and F. H. Kellogg, Davis, Glasgow, McFarland, Lewis, O'Bryon, Higgins, B. T. Chace and W. B. Harwell from Rich Hill, Mo.
Fred Morris, the Betas' catcher, who sprained his ankle in their game with the Phi Gams will not recover entirely, so his physician says, before many months, possibly it will take a year's time.

Beta all play strong games. They will probably occupy the positions in which they are placed above, at the close of the season. Phi Delta Theta has some fine players,and may come up for one of the first places. Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi are both composet of light men, and although some of them are quite skillful, neither can hardly hope to win the pennant.—Trionne.
It may be all right to guess, but our advice to the Tribune man would be not to stake anything on his guess just at present. It is too soon.
It is somewhat early as yet to give the standing of the various clubs, but the subjoined table will be handy for reference.

Concert.
Mr. Aldrich gave the last of his recitals last Tuesday evening. A good sized audience was in attendance and the concert certainly repaid careful attention. Thanks are due to the Handel and Haydn society for its assistance. The following excellent program was rendered:
Handel—Why do the Nations ... [Messiah]
Handel—and the Glory ... [Messiah]
Harrel and Hayn Society.
Handel—Honor and Arms...[Samson]
Chopin—Nocturne. Op. 37, No. 2...
Mr. McDonald
Mendelssohn—It is Enough...[Elijah]
Beethoven—Fifth Symphony. [Last two movements]
LAW.
Miss Gore and Mr. McDonald.
Haydn—Rolling in Foaming Billows
(Creation)
The instrumental selections by Prof. McDonald and Miss Gore were very fine and elicited much applause. "Nocturne was warmly encored. Prof. Aldrich's redition of "Rolling in Foaming Billows," was probably most highly enjoyed by the audience, it was spoken of in terms of highest praise. This concludes the series of recitals which Prof. Aldrich has conducted with great success. They have been a source of instruction as well as entertainment. The pleasure and profit which they have afforded to those who attended them ought to be a gratification to Prof. Aldrich and those who have assisted him.
Henry B. Hamilton, The Spirit of Speculation in America. C. L. Smith, The Transportation System of the Country. R. L. McAlpine, The Profession of Engineering. E.G. Blair, Character of our Foreign Immigration. These are but a few of the subjects, others have not been announced as yet.
No Senior appointment yet.
SENIOR THESES.
King, Junior class has been sick with the measles.
Prof. Snow has commenced slaying for the purpose of mounting the menagerie recently procured. The animals are getting to be a great nuisance.

Dr. Cordley has been conducting the chapel exercises for the past week.
The Lime Kiln Club did not have any meeting last Saturday night on account of the rain.
Prof. Hugo Saltean, a very eminent French naturalist, visited Snow Hall last week. He was very much surprised to see such a fine institution in the wilds of Kansas.
M'lle Rhea, the famous French artiste, now taking her farewell of the American public, has received the highest praise not only for her artistic excellence, but for her rare social qualities. Her farewell tour has been a series of ovations. It seems that everyone is anxious to pay a tribute of regret to the charming actress who carries away with her not only the laurels of victory, but the hearts of the American people. In many cities regal receptions have been tendered this charming artiste. Her hold on the American public is easily understood. She is endowed with heaven's choice gifts, youth, beauty and talent; but these essentials alone are not the OPEN RESAME to success. She has a quality all her own; an innate goodness, that shows itself in every action and wins the hearts of all beholders. She comes on the stage like a ray of sunshine. Her smile is angelic, her good spirits infectious, her voice like the ripple of clear, bubbling water. To see Rhea once is to be her admirer forever. She leaves America with the deepest regret and will carry away with her none but sweet memories of her many friends.
