A very successful recital was held at Music Hall Wednesday afternoon. Most of the numbers were well rendered. It is probable that there will be a recital every week after this month.
Prof. Farrell is organizing a class in accompaniment playing. This is something that as a vocalist he is eminently well fitted to teach, and as his terms are very reasonable it is hoped a large class may be formed.
The Old Folks concert entertainment under the direction of Mr. Marshall proved to be a great success. The "Singin' Schule" is to be repeated in the near future. Miss Bertha Whitaker acted as pianist.
Miss Drake's physical cultute class for children is well worth seeing. The little ones show that they have had excellent training and look very attractive in their costumes. The class meets at half past one.
Prof. Clark, in addition to his University classes, visits Leavenworth every Saturday. In the morning he teaches at the Art League and in the afternoon has a class of sixty public school teachers. He is having marked success in introducing his system into the public schools.
Marked Characteristics
One of our marked business characteristics is the setting apart of Friday as our bargain day. We make extraordinary low prices and have something new all the time. We stand in our business very much as the University does in education-at the top. Glad to see K.U boys and girls. INNES.
Mr. E. S. Tucker, the University photographer is selling prints from a Roentgen photograph. It is a representation of the human hand and in it the bones can be very plainly seen.

The 1896 models of the Stearns bicycle, concerning whose features there has been widespread curiosity are now being shipped to the principal Stearns agencies throughout the United States A handsomer line of bicycles it is difficult to conceive. The light road wheel. Model "A" scaling at $22\frac{1}{4}$ lbs.. incorporates in its constructions many improvement over the standard Model "A" of 1895, the differences, however, being mainly in detail. The tubing in keeping with the demands of the hour, is of larger diameter. The rear diamond tube runs upward at a straighter angle, bringing the rider further forward over his work. The Model "A," as well as the other gentlemen's mounts of the Stearns wheels, is fitted with Stearns improved detachable sprocket. Stearns adjustable handle bar and the new Stearns adjustable seat post, which combines all the advantages of the "T" form with a much neater appearance, and of much less weight. Any gear from 60 to 84 inches is furnished, and all wheels are equipped with Stearns flat cranks, either 6, $6\%$, $7\%$ or 8 inches in length.
The regular finish of all Stearns wheels, except the Model "C," will be orange with black as an option. The Model "C." is regularly furnished in black, with orange as an option. Palmer tires will be the standard equipment. E.C. Stearns & Company being licenses under Palmer patents, and are manufacturing Palmer tires for their exclusive use. Stearns Model "B" is the prototype of Model "A." except it is built heavier throughout for riders who desire a wheel suited practically to any kind of rough use. Model "D" is a dainty diamond-frame ladies' wheel designed particularly for use with the rational costume. The Stearns Special Racer and Tandems are received with equally as much favor. M.C. Stearn & Company will have no reason to be dissatisfied with the reception of the entire line of Yellow Fellows. The Stearns is certainly not surpassed in construction or finish. Its 1896 models are revelations of the possibilities of scientific and artifistic cycle building. DOANE BROS, 010 Mass. St., are the local agents,
Model "C," the dainty dropframe ladies' wheel at 23 lbs., typifies all that is best in the construction of amount of this kind. It is regularly furnished with $ 21 \frac{1}{2} $ inch frame.
