Saturday the University club crossed bats with the Business College club, at the grounds on Massachusetts street. The game was poorly played on both sides, and was decided at the end of the seventh inning, when the score stood 20 to 20. If the University club would practice, they would be one of the best clubs in this section of the country; but in order to play ball it will be necessary to practice at least twice a week. We would like to see games arranged with Washburn and Baldwin before the season is over.

Gardner, Maud Thrasher and Luella Moore, and an address by Prof. Canneld, was carried out. At a suitable nour elegant refreshments were served to their guests by the societies.

A. most hospitable entertainers.
LIBRARY RULES. — The librarian wants it distinctly understood that when students taking papers off the rack knock other papers down, that he or she is not expected, under any circumstances, either to pick it up or replace it. This is the librarian's special duty, and one in which he takes great joy.
When any one takes a paper off the rack he must not return it to the same, but must leave it where he or she might happen to be reading. The librarian loves to gather up the papers scattered around the room, and will be under great obligations to whomsoever will obey these rules.
In case the aforesaid reader should inadvertently return the paper to the rack, he or she must not in any case return it to the proper place, marked for it, but must hang it as far from said place as he or she can possibly do. This will necessitate a long and difficult hunt for the paper by the librarian, or the next student who should happen to wish it. The librarian requests the obedience to this rule as a personal favor. Such deeds of kindness are sources of hilarious joy to him, and he will ever remember the student so doing with feelings of deep love and gratitude. Every new student is expected to attend faithfully to the above rules.
